Part of that New England USA MB find is going to auction

Post by matchboxtom »

We talked about this collection a year or two ago. Too lazy to find the thread.

Here is a link to the auction site

https://www.serioustoyz.com/

The auction is similar to an eBay auction with bids being taken on all lots. It would appear that the listings will end on Friday 24th Feb 2017.

I also bought a few of the models when it first came around in September 2015 (all excellent condition).

When I put in some further orders I think they'd been overwhelmed with the response and found it difficult to process orders.
I had a wrong model delivered (but happy with what I got) then correspondences dried up.

I was unable to open the link to the auction in Safari (said it could not establish a secure connection) but did work in Firefox.

Thanks for posting the link.

It's all a bit amateurish, isn't it? No indication of which variation each model is, and only a single photograph to go on.

Odds are those models properly described with conditions etc would make good money on ebay and reach a larger target market as unless you know about these people and the auction you would miss out.
