Spitting Image puppet

Posted by: RoyleBlue on 05 June 2006

Hi,
I have an original Spitting Image puppet - Burt Reynolds - and am looking at selling it. I don't want to do the eBay way but does anyone know any specialist shops that buy these things?
Cheers,
Steve

Maybe Burt would be interested.

He could use it for a head transplant as he does look a bit overly nipped and tucked these days Winker

It sounds exactly the sort of thing that e-bay would get you the best price for.

Anyone got an email address for Burt?

You could always try this new Ebay site.

'Star Chamber', opposite the Abbey Gate in Bury St Edmund's, always fancies itself as a major purveyor of such things. As well as R2D2, a Dalek, numerous autographs, props, costumes, etc, I also remember them having the Spitting Image 'Dot Cotton' fairly recently.

So they might be interested. At what price I don't know... Give them a ring (if any guide price they mention sounds too cheap, I guess you could resort to e-bay with a reserve.)

I advise you not to sell unless you are absolutely desparate for the cash.

Spitting Image stuff has taken a bit of a dive on price recently, even to the extent that I shall be buying some egg cups. They are only fetching about half what they did last year.

Thanks Mick and ROTF.
Was just looking at clearing a space not really for the money so will hold on to him then.
Thanks,
Steve
