My lifetime Boxing collection

Hi. I'm not sure if I am allowed on here but I intend to sell all of my boxing magazines, books and videos on Ebay. Probably separately to start.
It has been stored at my mums for years but sadly she has gone in to a home and i have had all my years of collecting dumped at my house.
Am I allowed to post an Ebay link. ??
I have some boxing illustrated, ring, KO etc almost every boxing news from 1989 to 2018.
I have a hand signed book of Ali (Howard Bingham book)
Lots of VHS.
I have a nice 1971 Ali vs Frazier 1 Ring Magazine.
Heartbroken to sell but I have no choice and any money will be paying towards mums care (£8000pm)
Thanks

Hi. I'm not sure how to list my home recordings that I have made since 1988. There are so many and I don't even have lists anymore.

Sorry to hear about your mum. Its good she has you to help her evrenb.
Hard to sell VHS recordings off TV. Ebay will delete your listings due to copyright infringements.
I had 3000 VHS tapes at one point. I had a good little gig selling copies. I converted the earliest ones to DVD and had a few more years selling individual fights but I started working away and it got to be a hassle. In the end I gave the whole lot to a mate who carried it on until he too got fed up with it. I think they are in his basement gathering dust now. Not thought about them for years.
I also put a few on Youtube - zendo59 was my handle; the fights are still there. Some crackers that fans seem to have enjoyed. I put dozens on WBVA; under zendo59 again I think.
If you want them gone, sounds like Jack is interested and from his posts I'd suggest he is a true fan who would appreciate them for what they are. Looks like you are both in the same country too.
I had a lot of enjoyment and some monetary gain from mine but was glad to see the back of them in the end. 3000 VHS tapes takes up a lot of book cases. The wife was pleased too; she got a lot of real estate in the house back.
Best wishes for you and your mum and, trust me, you won't miss the tapes.

Thank you Giancarlo , appreciate your words. Ideally I need to make some money from them as mums care is £8,000 a month. If not they will sadly go in the skip.
Such is life. I am seeing my mama Monday. We are taking her out of the home for the day to her great granddaughters birthday party.
...well if your mum can't tell you , who can !??
