YOU HAVE YOUR SAY

EVERY week, Money Mail receives hundreds of your letters and emails about our stories. Here are some in response to our article about how your 1970s memorabilia could make you a small fortune:

I HAVE three beautiful Ossie Clark dresses from the 1970s and I know they are worth a lot of money. However, I can’t see myself selling them as I always wear one on Christmas day.

S. M., Brighton. I’VE been clearing out my loft for three years now, and have sold things on eBay and Gumtree. Most are old toys from the 1970s and 1980s including several from the Star Wars, Action Man and My Little Pony franchises.

S. W., Romford, London. YOU can make a lot of money on selling sites. I recently sold a 1978 Umbro football shirt on eBay for £250. I couldn’t believe it, especially as I only had to pay a £1 selling fee.

D. F., USA. SPACE hoppers were around 50 years ago. I had the generic one with the handles rather than the ears which you couldn’t grip as easily. Anyone who kept theirs in a box must have had a sad childhood.

T. C., Nottingham. NOT everything which is vintage will sell so easily. I have a beautiful rosewood table and sideboard which I bought in the 1970s. They are getting no interest on eBay at all.

R. P., Christchurch, Dorset. I TRIED to sell some things from the 1960s and it was a waste of time. Nobody wanted to give me anything for it. The only interested people I could find were on Freecycle.

P. C., Hertford. I STILL have a pair of 1970s clackers, which are two plastic balls on a string that you swing. I doubt you would be able to get anything for them nowadays as they are probably classed as dangerous weapons.
