tamboracca, controversy mags and other bits..HELP PLEASE

Hi Guys,

My husband is about to sell his mint condition taboracca, loads of controversy mags (dating back to fairly early issues) and other bits that we have. I am told they are all rare, in mint condition (box for the tamoracca etc)

Now I was hoping for advice on where to sell these items and also whether anyone could indicate costs we should put these up for and how to get interest!

The tamoracca is the yellow, hexagonal with the purple symbol, bought at the Camden Prince shop that didn't last long and has never been used.

Any advice would be much appreciated!!!

Thank you Kerry

You can sell official stuff here. NO boots.

Or you can sell them on ebay. It's up to you.

Links to pics of items would be good too.

The Tamboracca is pretty sought after, so expect between $75 and $200 for your mint item with original box. If it's an early Remo unit, maybe more.

I'm guessing you could get $5 to $15 for each Controversy magazine.

Go the eBay route and post the links here.

I guess those Triamid Tamboraccas are less desirable than the Remo. GEMM has one for sale for about $450 eek

I would think separately might be the way to go. This guy is looking for issues 1-10: http://www.ioffer.com/w/813943 You might want to let him know about the eBay sale.
