What Retro Stuff have you bought on Ebay?

Going thru a bit of a purchasing blitz atm and I'm finding I'm mostly getting retro stuff which surprisingly doesn't disappoint when I get it up close presentwise.

Here's some of my recent buys:

"Gazza's Soccer Skills" Filmed in 1991. Gazza shows you how to play like a pro. Strange watching him so skillful and full of life before he turned into a trainwreck of a humanbeing.

"Mexico 86" : Panini Sticker album that I was 3 stickers away from completing and to my horror later discovered had been thrown out by de ma! :mad:

"FlipSiders" : Boardgame from MB that cleverly folded up into the shape of a cassette tape

"Gremlins Cards" A collection of cards with bubblegum by Topps from the movie of the same name.

So what retro stuff have you bought off ebay?

Think I still have this album somewhere though it's far from completed.

I bought a Rubix Cube a while ago.

Beano Annual 1986 and a few pogs, waiting for my credit card to clear and I'll be off again.

I was going to buy some classic Lego train-set stuff from the 80's as Santa was poor when I was a kid and I never got one!

However, just as I was about to bid, I reminded myself that I'm a grown-man and that this would end up being just so much junk to add to the attic.

However, I did purchase a London Irish Rugby shirt (XXL of course!) 1985 vintage - black and with the Aer Lingus logo. It was as good as new and I'm too protective of it to even wear it!

Bunty and Twinkle 1980 annuals, and Just Seventeen 1987 annual.
They were actually the only annuals I ever owned and I read them over and over again for years. So I bought them on eBay with the intention of reading them to my daughter (Not Just Seventeen, she's only 5!), but I have them safely hidden away as it just brings back memories when I read over them.

I've gone and bought all the limited release dance music stuff I could never get my hands on as a teenager from 1998-2001, got a toppling stack of cardboard slipcase covered CDs here... nearly all with "NOT FOR RESALE" printed on them

Doesn't quite count as retro compared to the rest of this though.

Well in the early 90s (don't know how retro that counts) I couldn't affort any of those nice Patrick Eggle guitars - so this year I bought 4 early 90s models :eek:

The only other thing with a retro connection was that I bought the two box sets of Space 1999 on DVD 'cos I used to love them as a kid in the 70s

Sega Mega Drive II with a few games. Postage from the UK was a bit steep, but it was worth it.

This was about 3 years ago so can't really remember but I think it came to about £15 sterling.

Pretty similar here as I just didn't have the pocketmoney needed to buy them back when they were available in the proper sense. Can be a nightmare tracking down the exact right version though if it is a dance CD.

Also bought 2 monchichis for a co-worker and her sister as she was all nostalgic about them:

Think that's all my retro-eBaying....
