For most collectors of Only Fools and Horses memorabilia, ebay is a great place to make great additions to any collection. It seems eBay agree as we recently received this interesting report from them.
“Online marketplace eBay has revealed, in its sitcom ranking, that when it comes to memorabilia and merchandise it is in fact our South London favourite sitcom, Only Fools and Horses coming out on top – selling more than 50 products every day on site. However, with just 12 episodes to its name, Fawlty Towers still makes the top five on eBay’s ranking.”
eBay.co.uk TV sitcom ranking (sales volume):

5. Fawlty Towers
“A sitcom ranking released by online marketplace eBay.co.uk to mark the 40th anniversary of Fawlty Towers has revealed that despite the nostalgic buzz around Basil, Cybil and Manuel’s hazardous hospitality exploits, their south London rivals from Only Fools and Horses claim first place in the battle of the sitcoms.”
“Over the past three months, the online marketplace has seen more than 50 Only Fools and Horses related products sold every day on site, outselling the remaining top other sitcoms combined. Live listings on eBay include a £7,695 replica of Del Boy’s famous Trotters Independent Trading yellow Reliant Robin to a £14.99 complete DVD box set of all 65 episodes.”
“However, with just 12 episodes to its name, Basil, Cybil, Manuel and Polly still make the top five on eBay’s sitcom rankings, selling eight pieces of Fawlty Towers memorabilia every day, including badges, t-shirts and even Basil’s fancy dress moustache.”
Absolutely the very best sitcom ever made anywhere in the world! This comes from an American that cut his teeth on Month pythons flying circus! OFAH is the best there ever was!
In first place where it belongs.
Ace!
