Auction Surprise

This is a collection of 27 designs for Manolo Blahnik shoes. These watercolors and drawings were made in the 1970s and 1980s, and measure 12×18 inches. Most are signed and dated by the man himself!

The starting bid is $2,500. Manolo Blahniks are popular on eBay, but signed designs like these are very rare.

This is a huge collection of Jurassic Park dinosaurs and characters. The room looks like the back of a toyshop! At least the seller has provided a long and detailed list.

The starting bid is $28,000…and they are in France, so factor in that shipping cost. Wow!

This is a collection of The Simpsons - World of Springfield figures. This series was produced between 1999 and 2004, with over 200 different figures released. There were also 40 playsets and 3 dioramas. The seller is also including six Franklin Mint Simpsons plates, along with some other stuff.

Hard to say if it’s the complete collection because the listing is a mess, just one huge paragraph. Anyway, there is a lot there, and the starting bid of $2,000 is good value.

These 93 keys with fobs were obtained from American hotels between the 1920’s and 1950’s. The seller has even listed the hotel and room number for each key.

The Buy It Now price is $2,200. I wonder if those hotels are still standing, and if the keys still work after half a century.
