Dr Who
My friend is a Doctor Who nut. I had no idea how much. He asked me to help him move. First job, packing up the Who memorabilia. Bad idea to offer to help.

29,000 items. You've never seen anything like it. Imagine a square room, about 20 feet square, 8 feet high. Other than a small 'corridor' through, every cubic inch filled with stuff. He has two of everything in case the first one "breaks" (and that includes books, comics etc). I estimated at least 4000 figurines.Almost everything is in original packaging, never opened.

He's about 50, and owns a pub. Married, no kids. Estimate? £150K at least to purchase. God knows how much to sell. Could it be sold? God knows.

Is it original merchandise?
worth a mint I imagine. The new stuff, probably fuck all because everyone collects stuff in the original boxes now.

Items like the royal mint's Dalek gold coin couldn't possibly devalue :O

Could that actually be redeemed as currency?
Could I hand one over to pay for a £169.99 telly or summat?

Oh it could be sold.
Trust me. I have a fair bit of memorabilia, but not *that* much.
