This has been a good week, i can go weeks without finding anything, i do live in London and as i said my local hospice shop is a very good place to find toys as they clear houses out as well and you never know what you might find, the Coles Crane was £20. The Spot On was simply a case of being in the right place as the Lorry had only been donated the day before, if i'd have been there an hour later it wouldn't have been there, someone would have bought it, i was just lucky and it really is all down to luck with finds like this.
My local British Heart Foundation shop has had 5 Dinky's in their shop for nearly a year, playworn and all £30 each, needless to say i haven't touched those....
