I received for my GBP47 a manual. This business is all about trading memorabilia concerned with space travel. Specifically it is about trading in the autographs of the astronauts who went to the moon and back. You are told where to buy and advised where to sell. It appears that these autographs are much cheaper to buy in America and can be sold elsewhere for substantial profits. The manual is well written and appears to be well researched. I decided against going into this as I had concerns about possible authentication problems. Since there was a “no quibble” guarantee I returned the manual for a refund and was very pleasantly surprised to get my GBP47 back almost by return. Not only that but I got a Streetwise GBP5 voucher as well. No money made but if this sort of thing interests you I would say don’t be afraid to have a go.

The mail shot raves about earning GBP30,000 in 2 days. ALthough I am not naive enough to believe that claim I thought it sounded interesting so gave it a go. The plan is to buy signed photos from America and sell them in England where you will make more (so it claims). Interesting idea so went to some of the American sites suggested and picked a few photos of people recommended and then offered them via email to the top London buyers recommended. Good job I offered first as most came back that they were not of interest to them (so just as well I didnt lay out the money first). He sells to friends, family and has a customer base but I dont have friends who want to buy astronaut (or similar) photos for several hundred pounds a go so selling to the London buyers is my only option. Not found anyone they are interested yet or found out how much they would offer (remember these photos are several hundreds to buy) but still think it is an interesting idea if you can make it viable (find the right photos and then buyers) but nowhere near as easy or profitable as suggested (surprise surprise).

The system is simply buying signed photos from America and selling them in England for a much higher price due to more interest in Britain and the exchange rate. The American sites he mentions are quite good and photos can be picked up for under GBP500 but the problem is then selling them on. Its no way as easy as it sounds, my friends & family are not interested in signed photos so my only option was to approach the top London buying houses. But so far every photo I have offered had been rejected as they have sufficient stocks of that person. Obviously there must be something they are interested in buying but finding it proves way, way more difficult than he suggests. Not saying it cant be done but its a lot harder than you imagine, I offered top class stars (who are featured on the prospective buyers top 100 people) and still they did not want to buy them. Maybe its the recession and they are not buying much at the moment but whatever the reason you will NOT be paying off your debts in a hurry! Its an interesting idea and I want to make it work but I just cant at the moment.
