I'm just amazed at the range of things you have Steve - looked through your other posts and kept saying to myself "Well, I never knew they did that."
Do you own a warehouse or a massive shed to keep all this stuff in?

Hi Rodger,
I amassed most of the collection when I lived in England between 1995 and 2005.
I'd go to swap meets most weekends.
I liked things that were different and other people didn't have. The good thing about that was the items didn't cost too much.
I do have some cars in boxes but not many.
I've never had a very big budget so most mint boxed models cost far more than I want or more realistically can afford to pay for them.
I used to go to the Vectis auctions in the early days and you saw some wonderful items. It was like a museum where you could buy everything if you had the money.
I used to pride myself on seeing what an item went for at Vectis and buy that same item for about quarter of the price somewhere else.
I'd do the early birds at the swap meets and you used to pick up some really good item before the majority of the public came through.
