  • When I was a kid there was plenty of ways to earn money especially in the summertime. Where I lived in Sandy, Oregon population 990 the only place to get toy cars was the Rexall Drugs or Western Auto Hardware store. Each one had maybe 3 Hot Wheels in stock. I’ve just recently met a guy who grew up in the Chicago area with 3 large toy stores within bicycling distance from his home. Imagine working, making money and then toodeling on down to the hobby store to choose from a wide variety of Hot Wheels, Matchbox, Corgi, Johnny Lightning, Aurora Slot Cars, Huskys and more! Well this time I have most of his Corgi toys to show you and boy are they nice!
    Join me as I excitedly reveal every model in the collection. Every one a mystery to be revealed. Thanks for watching!

    I bet that lot cost a pretty penny! I've got virtually everyone in playworn to near mint condition unboxed, I love toys from the same era 1960s early 70s pre whizzwheel era as I ain't into those silly plastic out of scale whizzwheels!!! You have got the best of the best collection there.👏😎

    The Rover 2000TC and VW Beetle are awesome. Wish i had them. I kinda like Corgis and had very few of them, most of my childhood cars are Matchbox from the '60s and '70s. Thank you for sharing all your videos i really enjoyed every one you made.

    Toys from the 60s era was so exiting as most of them had some kind of a working feature like take off wheels/opening doors/firing missiles/ejector seats/plus the well detailed figures some had! That case as standard where as modern toys are boring and have no working features! And if they do have them we pay extra for the privilege sadly.

    amazing collection, congratulations. Try not to touch the Die-Cast stickers as the reticular dermis of the fingers gives off a sebaceous oiliness that wears down the sticker and loosens it. This is due to the fact that the Electroplating process of those years did not have as much resistance and tries to take better care of the boxes. I dream of owning any of those pieces.

    A very impressive collection! You’ve almost got stock for a vintage shop there... may I ask a rude question? How much did you pay for all these? I really enjoyed your video because it captured fully the excitement when you open the parcel and find the Corgi boxes inside. It’s Christmas 1967 all over again 😊

    If you dont mind me asking what did u pay?

    • @toycarcollector
      @toycarcollector  2 роки тому

      Typically when I buy a collection am paying about 60% of what I might get if I sell every model individually. Since I do not do much eBay all items are listed on my web site. For Corgi the complete sale of this collection is still ongoing nearly 2 years later. Time is not an issue for me as I have been buying and selling for over 30 years so there is always something coming in and something going out. Regular people would either have to buy the collection because they wanted it and had the money or buy it and sell it on eBay and take a chance that the auctions would go well plus pay the 15% fees. And also be reported to the local taxing authorities. I have a regular business so I am very use to all the fees and open hands looking for a cut of any profits. Whenever you buy a collection you have to cross your fingers and hope everything is in the condition it seems in the pictures.

    I remember growing up in East Palo Alto California and we would walk across the freeway to West Palo Alto downtown Palo Alto there was a toy store and me and my two brothers would go in there and we would all buy one toy that's all we could afford for some reason I remember Brian the little red Jaguar one day I've been saving all week for it and on the way out the door I took the little toy out of the box and the box went into the garbage can in the toy store I'd love to get that garbage can back

      I have found over the years that touching toys with my fingers which are on my hands makes collecting toys more enjoyable. I've tried handling them with telepathic thoughts but even though my brain is larger than most peoples I still have been unable to move any objects with telepathy.
