They Might Be Giants Rob.

Otherwise, I entirely agree. Like I say, I inherited it.

hahaha.

uhhhbluhhh. i don't really have much valuable stuff. well, valuable to other people, i guess. i have an mj picture sleeve, maybe that's worth something on e-bay? i also have macca feat. michael. why am i not jumping that recent death train?
top three things i'd sell if i was really super desperate for money, not that any are worth much: 1) guitars 2) tiny, cheap, battered record collection 3) kidneys! |
I own the Minutemen's first release, the Paranoid Time EP, 7" Orange vinyl. Near mint condition, I guess, it plays great. That's probably the rarest thing I've got, as I've never seen it anywhere else. I've also got a lot of original REM vinyl from the 80s but thats probably more mass-produced. Same goes for early Public Enemy and Beastie Boys 12" singles.

My husband was given an extensive record collection by his father. We've got all kinds a good shit..BB King live at Cook County Prison...The Beatles (including Rubber Soul, Yesterday & Today, Revolver & The Magical Mystery Tour)... John Lennon and Yoko Double Fantasy...Bob Dylan Blood on the Tracks...Rolling Stones Beggars Banquet....Alot a Led Zepplin...SY Hold That Tiger..Paul McCartney Bowl of Cherries...3 Jimmy Hendrix albums..I can't remember the rest I would think these would be worth something. I also have a bar napkin that Duff McKagan signed. |
I have too many "rare" LPs to get into it in detail, really.
My amplifier is very rare, as is the one-of-a-kind custom acoustic hybrid instrument I had built just for me. I also have a few pieces of furniture that would be nearly impossible to replace. I acquire things first and foremost for my own enjoyment though, and if they become "valuable" later, it's a bonus. I rarely sell any of my "valuable" stuff anyway. |
iv'e got a les paul jr my uncle took off of cheetah chrome because he owed him money
|
That's pretty cool.
I also have a 1966 Vox Cheetah that I bought 20 years ago. I would have a tough time replacing it. |
vox cheetah? that is so cool. pic?
|
 |
oh, ive got a mosrite but its unplayable.
|
thanks for the pic
|
purty geetar!

I don't use it that much anymore, but I'll never sell it. I use the Gibson ES 335 all the time these days; it's better for the super-heavy sound I require in the music I play now, but still has that same body shape that I love. That Vox was my main guitar for years and years. It has built-in fuzz, repeater, bass/treble boost and E tuner. I wish it had the hand-wah that many of its contemporary models had, but you can't have everything.
|
Thats a guitar i always heard about but never played. The ES335 is probably better in every way, but shit, thats a cool guitar to own.
|
my Thunderbolt Pagoda album.
feel free to offer me a 1,000 pesos...I won't be selling. now...2,000 pesos...maybe. |
I swear you'll be able to retire off that thing someday.
Provided you don't require food, shelter or heath care in your twilight years. |
Probably my NES collection.
 I've had the toploader since I was 2, and have been building up my game library ever since. I currently have 66 games, but I had a few more that were traded/sold for various reasons over the years. Either that, my 1987 Mercury Tracer w/ hatchback, or my much larger DVD collection. |

I'll be holding you to this. trust me, the last thing you'll want is a 65 year old me hunting you down for prune juice money. |
My friend had well over 300 NES games. He was on a quest to get them all, even at the exclusion of paying bills and stuff to support his "habit". Not even joking. He eventually said "fuck it" and sold all of them except Journey to Silius...
I had well over 100 Genesis games at one point. Now I'm at the point where I kinda just don't want any. |
The Lovebuzz single. (I keep that shit locked up)
My first printing of AMS 583 (My marvel comics collection in general, I don't have too many treasures per se, but I've got enough good stuff to make it worth quite a bit) My Blood on the Beach VHS Tape My Mascis Jazzmaster |
Music; an promo cassette for Aphex Twin's 'Classics'. I'm assuming it's rare.
Other; I have some rare books and commemorative medals and stuff like that, but the rarest is probably an old (1860's-ish token for the Liverpool horse-drawn carriage service). |
Derek Bailey/Jamie Muir- Dart drug vinyl signed by Derek bailey.
Fender Musicmaster, not very valuable but rare. |
like adam said, the futurist, rarest thing ever i have.
second rarest: boris - vein acid mothers temple - hello good child 7" melt-banana - 666 6" simon & garfunkel - the graduate soundtrack (mexican edition) fairport convention - liege & lief (original tan label) fairport convention - unhalfbricking (argentinian cd) the mars volta - televators and inertiatic esp picture 12"s mono - one stap more & you die (first edition) i have tons of noise shit that's out of print now and probably worth some, birth refusal 7" + cd-r, sick llama cd-r, hair police's blow out your blood first edition, ahlzagailzehguh's water like witch's oil tape, etc. scissor shock's the mars travolta/you're all slime tape!!! i have tons of old metal and alternative tapes, the rarest i have is probably danzig's mother single. |
I have an original marquee poster from the Beatles "Help" movie from when it first came out. It's huge, like 4' x 5'. I know it's genuine because I nagged the theatre manager for it as only a little kid can.
 |
I made just over £10,000 from selling my retro videogame collection (~1300 titles, including the complete worldwide (Euro/US/Brazil) Sega Master System library) throughout 2007/8, including one game (the original "blue" version of MegaDrive World Championship Soccer 2) that made £750, which is by a huge margin the most that a PAL MegaDrive game has ever sold for on eBay. I had another dozen or so games that went for £100+.
I've got quite a few fairly valuable rekkids, the pick of the bunch being an unpeeled mono Velvet Underground & Nico :) |
Flying Nun 25th Anniversary boxset. Probably not worth a lot, but it's the most I've ever spent on music, and I think only 1000 were made.
My main guitar - Epiphone Les Paul, again, not worth much, about $1300 when I bought it. |
My vintage "telecaster", which could go for about $85.
|
I've got an orig copy of the Whitehouse Live Actions 14/22 boot LP, which is worth a bit of moolah. That aside, I don't have anything hugely rare off the top of my head....though I do have a copy of the "Last House On The Left" book signed by David Hess.

I would sell that spider man comic since i don't care for comics that are not in at least NM condition. You could probably still get quite a bit for it. Then again it might hold some personal value to you since it was passed down. I also have MVC2 but for xbox. The value might go down since MVC2 is coming out again for 360 and ps3 later this month. All of my other rare shit is either video games or comic books but none are worth too much. I have a sealed copy of Ikaruga and a sealed copy of Nights into Dreams as well as a great condition copy of x men vs street fighter for the saturn (the box set with the ram cart). I also have a full set of batman year one comics, all of which are rated 9.something by the cgc. |
Oh fuck yeah, I have Ikaruga as well (not sealed but it's in great condition). One of my all time favorite games!
I have pretty much every SNES game that's sought-after/rare/whatever. WELL, I recently sold quite a few.. E.V.O. ($80), Castlevania: Dracula X ($90! from that piece of shit game!), and so on. I've had 4 copies of Chrono Trigger in my lifetime and 7 copies of Final Fantasy VII. All of those have netted me a pretty penny, and it's nice because I can replace the copies I have over and over until I have the absolute best copy of each game. Hahaha. I'm not so crazy about video game collecting anymore. But I did just sell Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne for $70 and Persona 2 for $66 (without the case even!). So, games are good to me. These are all just things I find at pawn shops too. Pretty much the only games I've decided to keep are a few rpg's, all my shooters, anything Treasure has had their hands on (except Stretch Panic -- fuck that game), all Contra games, all Castlevania games, all strategy games (I own all the NiS games), and all puzzle games. Which might look like a lot but it's really not, I've owned well over a thousand games and have paired my collection down to... a very small amount, comparatively, recently..... |
