Subbutteo

[Goring Gull]

After my most recent visit back to Sussex my Dad was clearing out the loft so i ended up coming back witha boot load of my old subbutteo from the eighties.

I've got 14 yeams anyone any idea what these may be worth or where i could sell them.

Ebay?

Ebay?

Ebay seems to have lost any appeal to me these days - no money in selling stuff on there anymore - more hassle than it's worth selling and packaging up for 50p or something.

I sold loads of Subbuteo stuff on Ebay and it generally goes for good money. Got £30 for the Astroturf and over £50 for a set which had the England/Spain 1982 teams along with a replica World Cup.

and then realising that they'll never fully recover no matter how much glue you use

I loved Subbutteo, but there was one in the gang who had Scalectrix and because of that he though he was better than you

We used to love playing 90 minute games as kids,would any of the kids of today have the attention span to even set the game up.

When you was 4 years old did you get up for work 6 hours before you went to bed .

Littlewoods? 'ark at the posh kid, it was the Provident books for us, they were to feed us y'know but i'd nick em from behind the clock and leg it down to the co op on London Rd (top floor) when I got home i'd get a grilling off the old lady, "where'd you get that fackin Partick Thistle team from?" "off Westy's mum, she paints em, every dustbin liner full she paints she gets £2.50 but she has to give it to the Day-Jan man cause every day she has a pint o milk and ten Number Six on the book" Great days!

I used to live about 200yds from the centre of the whole Subbutteo operation which, as intimated above, was very much a cottage industry relying on housewives, schoolkids etc. to do pain the teams and stick them together. The £2.50 per bin liner seems about right!

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Did you not actually play with your subbuteo ? Every player in my original set had glued legs, missing arms, and home-paint jobs. They would not have been worth a penny.

 

[Madam Cholet]

I bought Subbuteo (yes, off Ebay) for the husband, with Brighton and "Palace" (okay, Barcelona) teams. He set it up with his best mate and played for hours. I've never heard language like it and they only managed to break a corner flag. They were in their late 30s at the time.

The Subbuteo World Cup is being held at the Ethiad Stadium in Manchester this year. Still a big game worldwise and growing again now its back on sale

F.I.S.T.F | World Cup 2012 | Home should you be the slightest bit interested

got a load of old stuff myself which was my dads. Im guessing its either late 60's early 70's as chelsea has peter osgood as one of the players.
Would never sell it, but be nice to see how much its worth.
Original box and all that aswell.
