Olympic Fan Darcy Posted December 12, 2013 Author Report Posted December 12, 2013 Does anyone know when the ideal season is for bid books? Seems like never. Bid books rarely pop up. I now have: Manchester 1996 Vancouver 2010 Paris 2012 New York City 2012 Quote

Olympic Fan Darcy Posted December 13, 2013 Author Report Posted December 13, 2013 Wish I could say that Lord David, Swisso and TNMP have much better collections than me haha Quote
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted December 20, 2013 Author Report Posted December 20, 2013 Sofia 1992 Olympic bid book? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Sofia-1992-Winter-Olympics-IOC-Application-Bid-Book-Leather-33-x-33-cm-VGC-RARE-/281230003829?pt=US_Olympics_Fan_Shop&hash=item417a9d4e75&_uhb=1 Quote
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted December 21, 2013 Author Report Posted December 21, 2013 There was another one as well for much cheaper but unsure if it's the real deal http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1980-VINTAGE-BULGARIAN-1992-WINTER-OLYMPIC-GAMES-CITY-CANDIDATE-PHOTO-ALBUM-BOOK-/111179003768?pt=Vintage_Sports_Memorabilia&hash=item19e2c8f778&_uhb=1 Quote
AussieOne Posted January 19, 2014 Report Posted January 19, 2014 First post Curious - I have the Sydney Olympic bid books and was wondering what price they would bring and is eBay the best location to sell them through? Any advice greatly appreciated. Quote
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Posted January 19, 2014 First post Curious - I have the Sydney Olympic bid books and was wondering what price they would bring and is eBay the best location to sell them through? Any advice greatly appreciated. Lord David paid $350 for his but it has marks and such. Apparently That's Not My Puppy got offered $2000 for his! Yeah I would say eBay is the best place to sell. If you don't mind could you post some photos before you sell? Would love to see it! Quote
AussieOne Posted January 19, 2014 Report Posted January 19, 2014 Hi Thanks for your reply Darcy. The bid docs I have we're sent to Foreign Ambassadors posted to Australia. All mint condition. Can I post pictures here? Quote

Any advice greatly appreciated. Yeah you may be able to even sell it here. Judging from what I have seen I would price it in the $300 - $500 dollar range. Hi Thanks for your reply Darcy. The bid docs I have we're sent to Foreign Ambassadors posted to Australia. All mint condition. Can I post pictures here? Yes, simply take the pics, upload them to your PC, go to tinypic and upload the pictures there then use the message board url they give you. Copy the url and paste it in the comment section. Quote
AussieOne Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 The larger book is date 22/01/93. Amazing to think that it is already 21 years old. Quote

Volume 1 (the green one) has a little rough crease in the corner. Quote

tominger Posted January 20, 2014 Report Posted January 20, 2014 Well, these are not the Bid Books. The Set consists of thee heavy volumes. These are some sport proposals and some issues from "Share the Spirit". But the items are nice and I would put them on ebay. The real set would maybe go for 600 Dollar max. There is still the Beijing set available for around 600... 1 Quote
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Posted January 20, 2014 They're so beautiful Quote

mr.bernham Posted January 23, 2014 Report Posted January 23, 2014 Beijing 2008 Complete bid file. $600 worth it? There is another one (NYC2012) I'm watching that's domestic and cheaper should I buy that instead? Beijing link: http://www.ebay.com./itm/2008-OLYMPIC-GAME-BEIJING-CANDIDATE-BID-CITY-OFFICIAL-REPORT-3-VOLUMES-RARE-/171224536870? Quote
Lord David Posted January 23, 2014 Report Posted January 23, 2014 Perhaps not at that price, but it is still shrink wrapped. The postage is ridiculous though. Quote
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted January 23, 2014 Author Report Posted January 23, 2014 Beijing set is quite high. NYC is a good set. Quote
mr.bernham Posted January 23, 2014 Report Posted January 23, 2014 Beijing set is quite high. NYC is a good set. Thank you for the help! Perhaps not at that price, but it is still shrink wrapped. The postage is ridiculous though. Thank you also, and yeah the postage really put me off. Quote
mr.bernham Posted January 24, 2014 Report Posted January 24, 2014 NYC is also in the original shrink-wrap, so I am planning on buying NYC and they Sydney 2000 stuff. My two biggest Olympic bid sets crossed off my list! Quote
mr.bernham Posted January 25, 2014 Report Posted January 25, 2014 Getting Complete Sydney 2000, Lillehamer '94, Denver '76, Paris 2012, Manchester '96 partnership, along with the NYC 2012, and Sydney bid documents from earlier! I'm so excited, I feel like I could fly right now! Olympic Fan Darcy are you still interested in selling that Manchester Presentation book you had up earlier? If so how much, I'm kinda running high with everything above; I could maybe buy it latter this year. Quote
