eBay My World: peterfhodge( 276)

My name is Peter. I have had a shop in Northampton for over 20 years, selling jewellery, gifts, collectables and memorabilia - an Aladdin's cave! I am married with one daughter, and like playing squash and badminton, as well as watching rugby.

Collectables, gifts and memorabilia. We specialize in the Witches of Pendle, Robert Harrop Doggie People and the Thunderbirds series.

I don't have any real shopping preferences - I leave that to my wife! I love real ale, nice cars and good meals in exclusive restaurants. I like weekends away in nice hotels as a treat.

I am not really a collector - I buy only things that are functional, or that appeal to me because they look nice. I think collecting is a wonderful thing, but even from childhood have never been into it - maybe because I have never found the right thing to collect!

I love playing squash and badminton. Watching rugby is a passion of mine - I enjoy the World Cup, the 6 nations and follow our local team The Saints - I try to get to all their matches if I can.

I have always like Lewis Carrol and the Alice books - there are so many hidden meanings in the books, and they are so cleverly written. I also like JRR Tolkien and the Lord of the Rings series, and admired the films when they came out.

The Lord of the Rings series, all the James Bond movies, and anything starring Robert De Niro whose acting I admire

My favourite artiste of all time has got to be Cliff Richard! I think he's great, and is a real Peter Pan. I have every album he's ever released, and have been to nearly all his UK appearances. I have met him twice - what a really nice guy! I have also always been a fan of Queen, Slade and Black Sabbath. Current artists I like include Mica, Lily Allen and Katie Melua.

People who drive on your rear bumper. People who turn aggressive or unpleasant without giving you a chance to sort things out. Rudeness or bad manners. People who buy on eBay and don't pay, and of course spam email!

I have always lived in Northampton, and have been involved in business for most of my life. I have had a shop in a busy shopping centre for over 20 years. I have many close friends and family around me, and this is important to me. I like finding new items to sell in my shop, and I think I am pretty good at gauging what will sell and what won't. Although my shop carries an enormous and eclectic mix of gifts and beautiful objects, I have decided to specialize with my eBay shop in certain areas. I have been involved in the Witches of Pendle series, and the Robert Harrop collections especially Doggie People and Thunderbirds for years and there is a very good market for these.
