I had been watching a particular item on Ebay for a few days. Last night this listing ended. I was watching as the minutes ticked away - 5.....refresh....3.....refresh....It had just over a minute left on the auction and the bids were steadily rising. A battle between two potential buyers. I had a sudden urge, a rush, and in the last 10 seconds, I placed a bid. And won. This was a shock.
I am now the 'proud' owner of a signed Daniel Craig (as James Bond) photograph.
It does say that it is 100% genuine and even comes with a certificate of authenticity and it is from a UK seller. But I can't shake the feeling that I've been rather foolish.
My 6 (nearly 7!) year old son, Rupert, is a massive James Bond fan. He has all of the PG dvds with Bonds including Sean Connery, Roger Moore and George Lazenby. However, as soon a Pierce Brosnan took the reins, the certification of the films changes to a 12. So Rupert has never seen either of the films that Daniel Craig stars in as James Bond.
I'm not quite sure exactly what Rupert will do with the photo. Would you put something like that in a frame? Or is that a bit weird?! I wouldn't be particularly pleased if he cut it out to use as the photo on his 'spy passport'. Maybe I should sell it on...
I would highly reccommend the Bond exhibition at Beaulieu Motor Museum. We went at the weekend and it was amazing. My favourite car was, by far, the Aston Martin DB5. The one with the ejector seat. This apparently sold at auction in 2010 for £2.6m! At least it was only a photograph that I bid on. I really am trying to work on my impulsiveness...
