Toy fair news

Hi Thumper.

Didcot in the old Days used to be a regular haunt for me, went to the very first event and it was so quiet, it felt like they should have paid me to look around!

If I get to Didcot again, will I see you there as its always nice to meet forum members.

I get to the fairs whenever I can, but I often find I'm booked in elsewhere the same weekend, and can't do both. The next Didcot fair clashes too, so I hope to get to one of Ronnie's other events later in the year.

OK Thumper, will bump into you one Day at Cirencester or Didcot.

Toy Fairs are very rare in my part of the world and then more like trash n treasure. Went to one today though and so many hotwheels, thousands of them. I don't know how a store holder can make any money selling them Do hotwheels really reach a decent price, a price high enough to make money out of it?

Does this answer your question?

Yep there is certainly a bouyant market for rare 60's red lines, especially in the US.

[brainstrust]

Oh there was nothing like that there, although how would I know!
What I saw was thousands of the blue blisters that I see hanging on pegs in stores for less then 2 bucks a pop!
You do have me thinking about those original redlines now, damn, argh!!!!!!

Next toy fair is the big one at NEC Birmingham this Sunday 15th May. Don't think I can do this one as my financies are tight at the moment because Sandown and Kempton park toy fairs all take place this Month and I know Sandown is going to be the expensive one for me, ain't that right Rob...
