von Dawson's Express Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 One area I find interesting is how people raise funds for there day (or weekend) at a Autographica. Do you work loads of over time and bank it? Have a 'small' second job? or what? For what its worth I collect scrap metal and weigh it in! Near where I live there's been five-six skips in the nearby streets and after a five-minute chat with the 'owner's' I just raid them - may be once-twice a week. I also collect old car batteries and collect aluminium drink cans, you may laugh and say 'skip rat...' well, laff away, between last September and April this year I made £87 thank you very much, not bad from rubbish, and oooo, does that money smell nice! Soooo, £20 for Gerry Griffin and (two autographs) £60 for Ed Gibson... What DO YOU do? Regards all von Dawson's Express Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldrin Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I have to do a bit of everything - overtime, dip into my savings, dip into my current account, and see what tat I can flog on ebay, to be blunt. I also collect all my spare coppers in an oversized whiskey bottle and put that into the pot - suprising how much it adds up to sometimes! But yep I have to generally generate money and save it well in advance of the shows. I spent £450 at the last show, can't really afford it but the hobby gives me pleasure and my place has signed photo's all over the walls - not to mention the experience of meeting these people in the first place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
