I would,
Its his money and either he will be chuffed to bits with it and think its well worth the money,or he will regret it the next day and want something else,in that case he has learnt a valuable lesson.
If he compleats the collection,keep them when he tires of it,I cant believe how much collections selling for,when I have happily out them in the bin in the past.

I would - but I doubt it's going to stay at £20

I told him we'll go to £25....but he's out atm so I'm not sure if I should "forget" or something.

He has a tendency to be easily swayed and will end up giving to to someone for free....

well that would be his lesson learnt - he wouldn't have his card - and he wouldn't have his £20 to buy something else either.

I would let my DS1 (also 7 - although admittedly nearly 8) buy it if he really wanted to.

I was wondering too how you know it's rare, LTH? Seller might be exaggerating?

ladytophamhatt · 19/07/2008 09:27

he knew it was rare as soon as he saw it wendy.

I have no clue though....

I've just a "completed listings" for that card - and they do seem to sell for quite a bit - certainly over £20

Does seem like a good price having looked at the others that have completed

Hope he's happy with it

I always bid with 43 seconds left.
Always.
Not 44.
Not 42

It has to be 43.

no way! a bit late nowa s bidding finsihed, but my ds's collected the match atatck cars then each season they end up in the bin as a new lot id released and so it starts again. they also swap and give them away so no way would i let him spend £20 on one card.

my ds' are 6 and 11 by the way.

The card is back on Ebay.

He's realised its a awful lot of money for a card.

I hope it sells....
