The things people LIST on eBay. That’ll never sell for that price.
Why were you searching for Jim Davidson ephemera?
When we came in from a night out my mate used to go on my comp and go on eBay and buy some stupid thing like 4 cabbages and then you’d wake up to having won that item without knowing why.
If you owned that, why wouldn’t you try to sell it?
“Bit of blue for the dads”
It only takes Jim Davidson to croak and suddenly there’s value in these sort of things to certain types of collectors.
I imagine Jim’ll Fix It medals have an…unusual value now attached to them, for example.
People like different things, that’s why we have different cars, food, pop, music and so many other things, the person selling it may have got it from a house clearance, maybe he had it and just wants to sell it.
The op and the people dissing the listing show they aren’t a fan of Jim Davis, and that’s fine, but you also show you are the kind of people to give other people shit about what they like because you don’t, now that’s the really sad thing about all this, just let people enjoy things even if you don’t, why bring people down in an already shit world all because you don’t like the same things.
I always wonder “what if” for Jim Davidson as I think he’s a very, or was, a talented guy.
Takes a game show about snooker of all things and turns it into prime TV. Gets the Generation Game, prime family TV.
If he’d have accepted that comedy moved on and came up with new material then I’d wager he’d still be on TV today. Instead I think he believed that his charitable endeavours would wash over everything else (where have we seen that before…) such as performing to frontline troops in the Middle East in the noughties.
I think the likes of Jim and Chubby Brown found a niche and hunkered down on it, where it’s become an anchor. If only they’d have been more open minded then they may have something to give comedy – instead they’re just bitter old men living in the past. And if there’s one thing we know about the past, it’s that it gets further away each day.
So yeah, I really feel for Jim, in one respect anyway. Turned out to be quite a nasty piece of shit.
“You do have it? That’s wonderful!
Oh, my name? It’s Jim… Davidson.”
Facebook market place is even worse, people selling a tea towel for £1. Like how desperate for a quid are you??
I got done by one of these years ago
Wanted to buy Happiness on DVD and saw it for under a fiver and bought immediately. Didn’t realise until it turned up that it was just a full page ad for it cut from a magazine. I have since kept it out of spite
That is a piece of history. It will be in a museum one day. lol

You’d be surprised. People regularly sell empty boxes for pc parts on eBay for around a tenner or so.
It’s not even a scam, people are out there looking to buy the empty boxes to use for display.
Did you find my mum’s eBay account?
The last time I was home, she was taking pictures of our old Enid Blyton’s Golly books to put on eBay 🫣
Someone would buy it the sort of person that screams about Wokness and reads the daily mail probably
The shit people post on Reddit 😉
My mum and her friend bumped into him in Torquay back in the 80s and he chatted my mum up. She rebuffed him (because ew) but he left with her friend I believe.
Race to buy the Racist stuff.
Antiques centre near me has a Stylophone with Rolf Harris song book for £20. They’d probably get £25 without the book.
