Did I do well?.

I had to go in to Clacton to collect my phone which has been in the repair shop these last two weeks.
While I was there I called in to see my friend Rick who is selling some of my beater 1-75's in his antique shop 'To Phrase a Coin'. Rick gave me £10 for a few 1-75's that he had sold.
I left Rick's shop and walked to my brothers flat, On the way I passed a junk come antique shop that I had been to a few times before, They had the usual broken kingsize and
late superfast and yesteryear models all thick with dirt and I never found anything worth buying in there. So I hesitated at the door and peered into the dark and dusty shop, should I go in or not, I decided not to go in so I walked on all the time checking what was in the window, Then I spied a couple of broken Corgi Juniors that I did not remember seeing before, So I do a quick U turn and into the shop I go.

I remember this shop. The diecasts are spread all around the shop and as there are not very many of them you have to check every shelf, I could not see anything new but then I noticed a large bag full of toys with a few older Dinkys sticking out of the top. how much are the cars I asked the girl, She phoned her boss for a price, 50 pence each he says!. or £50 for the whole bag.

So I sort through the bag, select 32 that are worth saving, hand the girl £16 and exit the shop pdq.
Did I do well?. I think so.
32 toys but 28 of them need all 4 tyres..

You've done brilliantly Nick!
That'a the thrill of collecting: finding big or small treasures in some dusty, overlooked corner or shop.
Enjoy!
