I'm thinking of sellling my Prince collection

Lately I've been seriously thinking about sellling my Prince collection, mainly because I want 2 get a Cloud Guitar. How much do U think I could get 4 it? This is what I have:

*Over 50 posters (mostly promotional posters)

*ALL officially released cd's (including the Black Album, the Gold Experience, One Nite Alone...Live box set, etc.)

*Bootlegs(live cd's, live VHS, live DVDs, all known studio outtakes in circulation)

*Associated Artists cd(including Jill Jones, the Family, the Time, Eric Leeds, Madhouse, Vanity 6, Rosie Gaines)

*Every UPTOWN issue and all the books(Turn it up, Turn it up 2.0, Days of Wild-with cd rom, A documentary, DMSR)

*Various cover story magazines (like old "Right On!" magazines, Black Beat, Fresh, Rolling Stone, Spin, People,Guitar World, Bass Player, Notorious,Etc.)

*Variouse Books (Possessed, A Pop Life, Imp of the Perverse, etc)

*All the Tour Books (except Diamonds and Pearls and Jam of the Year)

*T-shirts (from 1999, Purple Rain, Parade, Sign o the Times, Lovesexy, Nude, Diamonds and Pearls, Symbol, the Gold Experience, Emancipation, Rave)

*the Rainbow Children 5ft cardboard stand-up photo of Prince in Green Sweater

*Silk Emancipation orange flag

*Pictures my dad took at the June 7, 1986 Cobo Hall show.

*Morris Hayes' autograph from the Nov. 25, 2000 Hit N Run show in Nashville, TN

*Various magazine and newspaper clippings

*Original page that was hand drawn 4 the Prince "3 Chains O Gold" comic book

That's all I can remember right now. Could I make a pretty penny from this stuff? I really want that guitar. Peace!

Why don't you just enter that contest to see if you can win the cloud guitar.

P.S. Prince already has one. Apples bought it for him.

Well, I did enter the contest, but I still haven't heard any results from it. But if I have 2 forfeit part of my collection 4 it, then I'm willing 2 do it. I really don't want 2 wait until I get my income taxes though.

You could probably make quite a lot of money on it, especially if you sold it on E-bay. The only problem is that it´s usually hard to sell a collection like this as a whole (since the people who might be interested are usually collectors themselves and have most of the stuff already), so be prepared to put a lot of time and effort into selling it one item at a time if you want to make good money.
