Over the years I've been a modest collector of Bond films, games, books, collectables, magazines, and wot nots. I was recently on EBay and I had seen a few things I owned and they were worth less that I bought them for years ago and I was surprised at some of the turn outs. So half part of me who would LOVE to check out everyone else's BOND collection and other part wondering what mine is worth, I've made this Discussion to do learn more about the value(s) of our Bond collectables.
Of course I understand alot of people's point of view on the "Priceless" aspect, some things are worth more to you than the money it's worth for sure. But it's nice to see some of our collections (if you are willing to share), to see some unique items, and possibly share if your selling any items on EBay.
So take a few quick pics of your Bond treasures (if you're willing) and share with the world. Your opinions are welcome to the idea discuss the values our collectables. (Keep in mind there only opinions of values, not to say your treasures are only worth X amount, also some items may be rare to specific countries. - For instance, I'm in the US and I find it hard to get a hold of a lot of my ideal collectables, but I'm sure it may be a likewise around the world. )
(Only looking for the opinion of what my 80% is worth.)
Here it is, 80% of it, there are a few little things I'm forgetting, and the rest is in storage, but here's most of my Bond collection. Now I am not in any way, saying I have a huge collection, I'm sure there are many of you who could trump my collection by a long-shot, and I'd love to see your collections, this is just to start the thread.

excluding ( --in storage-- few more dvds, vhs, couple laser discs, couple record soundtracks, more magazines, lighter sets, micro machine sets, more video games, board games (old & new), cant remember what else oh and my Aston Martin...... joking)
Also I understand this may be a task, but it was worth it to me, going through things I forgot I had, If you have any questions about anything let me know and I'd love to see your collections. PS: I dream to have a Bond collectables room, anyone already done it?

I'll upload photos of my collection when I round everything up! ;)
Same- I've thought about it a lot. Hardcore fans of Star Trek, Indiana Jones etc. have turned their spare rooms into custom cinemas, and I must say, I don't care how geeky the owner seems- they're absolutely awesome! :-bd

I would love to see (and have!) an in-house cinema using a Bond theme (villain's lair, anyone?).
Hollowed out volcano anyone? :-bd

You realy never heard from the SE's dvd's and the 007 number on the spine... In Europe released in 2001. (With exeption of Twine released in 2000 and DAD in 2003.)

@M_Balje I may have seen that advertisement but no I've never seen the 07 number on the spine version, we have several variations here in Virginia but not that. Thanks for the links.
here it is online:

(These aren't my photos, as my VHS collection is interstate), but these are the collections I own:
2006 UE DVD collection (minus the box and casino chips). I bought them all individually:
CR 3 disc DVD
QOS 2 disc set (holographic cover)
A difrent version then the Limited Edition i have released in Europe.
This is the Dutch version..
Also include a numberd storyboard with one of the twelve storyboards and a storyboard list with those 12 storyboards in mini version.
It whas a good end to end the Bond VHS collection. If there have done some simalar with Twine i am sjure i have buy it too, but there din't. So insteed of buying Twine on Vhs, i saw the release on dvd in 2000 a change to be it my first dvd.
Vergot other picture from 1999 or 2000
From Twine i have all 4 posters who be released (The fire girl and the white poster who is simalar to the soundtrack) and the radio station poster who promoted the Vhs and Dvd. It be the movie with the moost posters because of that last poster. TMND there release 3 posters. All 7 be released in the correct format. This also count for the 2 of Goldeneye and the 3 from DAD (I don't have teaser with the gun on the ice and the Jinx one, http://www.impawards.com/2002/posters/die_another_day_ver9.jpg < only the one with the ice.). Something the DC era can learn from. I have the only one who be avaible with the delete scene's with Comingsoon as subtitle but it not be in the 100x70/98x68 format more like the one from LTK (Soundtrack art).

Okay, I guess you're trying to upload pictures from your computer to the internet. If you make an account with Imageshack or Photobucket (I have an account with Photobucket) you can upload pictures from your computer to Photobucket, then upload your pictures from Photobucket to MI6. You can upload from Photobucket or Imageshack to MI6 via the method I described in my previous post. Good luck!
If anyone can explain the uploading method any better for @jamesbondasia, please be so kind as to do so. :)
I have all sorts of the usual bond memorabillia, but in terms of personal value, I guess these guys would be difficult to part with, the Planet ocean is the Ltd Edition Casino Royale, which came on a rubber strap, hence the aftermarket bracelet.

Thanks QBranch, perhaps next time I'm tempted to jump in on a thread I'll just go feet first and hope for the best...
;)
Thats awesome!
@Commander_Skyfall nice, very stylish! And yes feel free to jump in and give your opinions. (I try and stay away from too much of that myself, doesn't always work, haha)
So after seeing some of these, I'm ready to go on a world tour and get caught up on some unique Bond collectables.
@Samuel001 yes that would be nice, thanks
It took me a while but I found it:
