Malta on Ebay

Michael Carabott has been checking Ebay for some post-Xmas online shopping and was amazed with the Malta related stuff available on the popular aution site:

However, on a whim, I decided to have a look at what was available which was Malta related. I tapped in M-A-L-T-A in the text search box and sort by price and was absolutely astounded at what I found. I never realised that there is such a mania for Malta-related paraphernalia and the prices that they fetch..

.OK, so after that “brief” explanation, it’s time to go back to the Malta merchandise. Well, the first item that popped up for sale was a sort of time share at the Golden Sands SAS Radisson in an apartment sleeping four, selling at a starting bid of £5,999 and a “buy it now” price of £6,999. Another item on the list, from a seller in the UK was a D’Esposito watercolour of Valletta’s Grand Harbour selling at £575.

Two old gold coins (10 Maltese skudi) were on sale from a person in Mosta, who was requesting $900 as a starting bid. Believe it or not, someone in New Zealand was selling a 1720 map of Malta and Sicily for a starting price of $599.99. An Argentinean was selling a vintage silver match box holder with a rare enamelled Malta stamp on it for $149.

A San Fransisco seller was offering a set of very old mint Malta stamp sets for $595. Knights of St John cufflinks were going at an average of $136. The multitude of items on sale seemed to attract many collectors with other items such as Knights of St John medallions to old Cisk enamelled signs, coins, stamps, lighters and figurines of Malta’s historic personalities all fetching attractive sums...
