My collecting days were 1963-7 and I am now selling the toys I hauled from home to home ever since. It is fun to find this site with those who never stopped collecting. The study of variations is oddly fascinating.
I've started with several regular wheels #1-#30 models and a collection of military numbers on eBay. I'll be posting more items every week or two, so keep your eyes on the "delectaceous" handle on eBay.com.
Am consulting Nick's and "Tractorboy" Darkins' catalogs to assess hard to find. Turns out I have several (e.g., green #30a Precept). Thank you all for cataloguing your incredible knowledge. I don't know how to use photo-sharing websites so please look for pix on eBay. If you find anything inaccurate or unethical in my offerings, I hope you will let me know so I can correct it.
Hoping my old treasures will make some people happy. Great to "meet" you all.

Re: Retired collector, new seller
Hi and welcome to the forum. The best thing for you to do is post a link or post one of the item No. for all to see as. I have tried looking for the member "delectaceous" and nothing comes up.delectaceous wrote:My collecting days were 1963-7 and I am now selling the toys I hauled from home to home ever since.

Re: Retired collector, new seller
Well, shows I'm new to eBay too! To see the green Ford Precept #30 you can search for item 111292879652 (sorry, though, already sold--however Nick Jones had been requesting info on the green variation). It seems that from that listing you can select "Seller's Other Items", or click on my handle and hit the "follow" button.
(Exactly what happens then, heck if I know.)
By the way, anyone out there join up the Fred Bronner (US) collector's club in the 60's? That's what gave this 8 year old the idea after I loved the toys.

Re: Retired collector, new seller
You betcha (as we say in US north Midwest). Surprised my little collection already contained some weirdos (maybe because I started in Switzerland?) I look each one up for oddballs as I post them. Know I have a #5c with Players Please stickers for auction ending March 16. Have been following the loud discussion with scmcollector and now aware you can buy such decals on-line. Whodathunkit? Anyway feel free to Carbon 14 mine to prove they came from the middle(sixties) ages like we did, fellow boomers.
Re: Retired collector, new seller
Very Nice Wares indeed! Thanks for contacting us with the link because my 'Lesney' search would have only showed one of your models to me. The listings, descriptions, and pictures are very well done. You took very good care of your Toys my friend. I will enjoy their sale both tonight and in the future. kwakers
