I buy old toys.
« on: 02 March 2016, 20:10:34 »
Firstly i hope this is ok within OOF rules. If not by all means remove & i won't make a fuss...(like i used to!!!) Many folk have old toys in cabinets or in the loft. Some of you would never part with them for sentimental reasons & i understand that. Others don't have that attachment & would rather clear the space & have the money. If that's you i'm looking for diecast/tin plate toys, old pedal cars, Action Man, TV related, ie Thunderbirds, Batman, Disney, Magic roundabout & any OLD Corgi, Dinky, Matchbox Lesney Robots etc. Sadly i have no need for EFE, LLEDO, DAYS GONE BY tea vans etc. I struggle to sell those boxed at a pound each, the market is flooded with them. Also no broken Transformer/Star wars figures etc I'm looking for items that were marketed as toys from new not models but am interested at anything old, quirky & collectable. i don't know much about trains except oo gauge is popular. No books or board games or anything with a bar code please, even a first issue Ker plunk or Mouse Trap only makes a fiver!
   I will pay good cash for the right items but please bear in mind my overheads. If you have a job lot that you value at £500 selling individually i can only offer you half as i have to pay diesel/pitch fees etc. & may take weeks to sell...Wholesale/retail then the best will fly away & i'll be left with the rest to put into auction & hope for the best. Cut off point is around the 1970's. Can collect locally, cash paid. If further away please post pics & be prepared to pack & post upon agreed payment method.
   Regards, Guy.

My dad passed away back in October and amongst his stuff was a large collection of LLEDO bygones and a complete London's Burning set by the same company.I spent quite a bit of time looking on the Bay at the prices and as stated they are pretty much worthless, so I passed them on to my son who's stuck them in his loft and I guess after being passed down a few more times they may end up being worth a bit more. :)
