myuserid Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 To be honest thats nothing, do NOT sell them its not worth it, if you do have to sell them wait another 10 years at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEFTY478 Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Don't do it, mate. If you sell the gong you'll be kicking y'sen in years to come. Mine may only be worth peanuts, but I wouldn't sell it - it's got a lot more 'value' attached to it than the £'s it may fetch by flogging it to a wanta-be hero, to be struck it in scrap book.
