This is the one respect in which Edinburgh truly sucks donkey balls. The charity shops are full of things from M&S rather than Alaia and so are the very few dress agencies.
I've still got all my Deadlines :)
Old Action Man and original Raleigh Chopper bicycle.
Original Star Wars figures. I sold em all for 50p a pop so I could buy ciggies. :(
My Atari games console with games like Space Invaders and Pacman. I gave it to some distant relative.
I've got 12 years worth of Q Magazines. I don't think they'd be worth anything anyway and if I'm honest about it, I'd be very reluctant to let them go.
Dr Who monster figures from Weetabix packets, circa 1977.
Dr Who Target books, same era.
In Utero on transparent vinyl.
Some really cool old hats (two homburgs and a bowler, all black) from my granddad.
A rather touching and melancholy letter from, of all people, Enoch Powell.
Nothing more heart-sinking than looking through rack after rack of M&S, GSE. *Genius lightbulb moment* Can't you open a vintage/secondhand designer dress shop up there, as there's a gap in the market?
Rad - raaah! Deadline! As I recall, the rest of it was not so hot, but I loved the silliness of Tank Girl.
Istvanski, I saw pictures of a Raleigh Chopper for sale recently, and it was going for a fortune.
Oh Rad! Ciggies! Now if it had been sweeties...
Bedshaped, where did all the Ataris go? There were so many of them. It's the moving house so many times that's made me chuck magazines away. Tsk...
Tim - Enoch Powell? Highly intriguing. Go on, do spill the beans.
It would be wrong to say that that thought had not crossed my mind. And I could stock it by frequent trips round London charity shops.
Oooh! Do it, do it! I will be a scout for you, no charge.
Entire collection of The Face (from the beginning to 1990 something), ID (from when it was a landscape fanzine stapled together), Sounds, Sniffin' Glue and Smash Hits (until 1980) from inception, original Mary Quant make up and perfume, ditto Biba as well as original kids Biba clothes and Biba cologne in Biba bottle. Waaaahhh. I still want to cry now. What's more is that they were all thrown away - not even given away.
