Considering buying someone’s dad’s playboy collection spanning from the 60’s to the 2000’s. It’s about 800-1000 magazines for $200. It seems to be somewhat catalogued with lots of complete years. Is this a good deal if I plan on selling them individually/by year?

Title: Melbourne, Australia – Where can I sell an entire collection of vintage items quickly?

Hi everyone!

I’m helping an elderly friend who is unwell and would like to sell her collection of vintage treasures as soon as possible. She would prefer to sell everything as one lot rather than deal with individual buyers, but we have no idea where to start or who to contact.

The collection includes various vintage ornaments and decorative items. I’ve been trying to research their value on Google, but it’s very time-consuming to identify and price every single piece individually, and I simply don’t have the time to do that for the entire collection.

Does anyone know of a reputable antiques dealer, auction house, vintage reseller, or second-hand business in Melbourne, Victoria, that might be interested in buying an entire collection in one go?

Ideally, we’re looking for someone who could assess the collection, make a reasonable offer, and potentially arrange collection. We understand that selling everything together would probably mean receiving less than selling each item individually, but speed and convenience are important because of her health.

If anyone has experience selling an entire collection like this, I’d really appreciate your advice or recommendations. I’m also open to suggestions for online buyers who purchase whole lots in Australia.

Thank you so much for any help!

Vintage 1970s/80s Conte of Florence "Valanga Azzurra" (Pool Sci Italia) Rossignol Team Puffer Ski Hat

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, looking to get an idea of the value and market for what I believe is an exceptionally rare, museum-grade piece of European alpine sports history.

Here are the details I've gathered:
\* Item: Vintage 1970s/early 1980s royal blue puffer ski cap with fold-down ear flaps.
\* Extreme Rarity & Provenance: This isn't a standard retail hat. It features the ultra-scarce 'POOL SCI ITALIA' (Italian Ski Pool) official supplier tag combined with prominent 'Rossignol Team' white chain-stitch embroidery and snowflake logo. This specific cross-branding ties it directly to the legendary "Valanga Azzurra" (Blue Avalanche) Italian national ski team era, making team-issued pieces from this golden age incredibly hard to find.
\* Maker/Patent Pedigree: The interior tag proves it was strictly patented and expressly made by the master tailors Nicola & Aristide for Conte of Florence. It features an all-over monogram inner lining and a 60% wool blend tag.
\* Pristine Condition: It is in remarkably preserved, deadstock-adjacent condition. The royal blue exterior shell is vibrant, all metal snaps function perfectly, and the interior white lining is immaculate with zero yellowing or sweat stains.

Standard Conte of Florence hats pop up occasionally, but a team-issued Pool Sci Italia / Rossignol piece in this condition is a true collector's white whale. What kind of price range should I be looking at for high-end vintage archives? Any insights on value are greatly appreciated!

Help with purchasing a Karasu Collectibles figure in the UK?

1 Upvotes

Karasu Collectibles currently have a preorder open for a 1:6 scale figure and I have been previously warned not to purchase from them directly due to their customer service issues, but instead purchase from a distributor. Currently, out of all of their distributors I found (fanaticanimestore, handsomecake, kaioland, and clubhousestatues), only fanaticanimestore currently has that preorder available. My question is two-fold:

  1. Can anyone recommend a distributor of Karasu Collectibles figures in the UK?

  2. Has anyone in UK/EU purchased from fanaticanimestore previously? If yes, what was the shipping quote you received? I searched their site and they do not shipping prices listed.

I would appreciate some help with this, thank you.

Dug throught approximately 400 playboy magazines today.

For a few years I've been on the hunt for the January 1981 Playboy magazine. For the articles, I swear! There's a funny story in my family in which back in 1981, my grandma who was a catholic walked down to her nearby magazine hut ans purchased her first and only playboy. The interview within the Jan 1981 issue is with John Lennon. She was a teenager at the height of Beatle Mania in the states. We used to chuckle at the story from time to time. I know I can just purchase it online, but I like the thrill of the hunt. I got close today, December 1980 and March 1981. It's the closest I've gotten, so far in my search.

Hello everyone! I’m not a singer collector, but I came across this Singer 15- that I thought was cool. I can’t find anything on it being anything other than just a 15 or a 15- following another number. Was wondering if someone could just give me some info if the 15 just usually has a - behind it.

I have a set of six extra large glass goblets that I'm trying to find info/value on. I've looked but can't find anything except on reproductions. They belonged to my mom who acquired them from an estate sale in the late 70s. She was told at that time that were vintage and collectable. True, not true? The glass is 1/4" thick. The goblet measures 8"H x 5"W x 4.5"deep. There are no markings except for the seam. Thank you for any info you can give me.

Gifted a bin of approx 120+ Sports Illustrated magazines from mid 1970s-early 1980s. Looking for advice on how best to preserve them, possible pricing and worth.

Currently just as pictured sitting in a storage bin with an o-ring to keep out moisture, and no direct sunlight. I haven’t wanted to disturb them since after inspecting a few the pages are delicate.

Any suggestions please?
