Re: Looking for some hard to find models!
Hi john i think we are in the same boat. I have only picked a couple up this year a red Ferrari that i am not happy with as it has a scratch, but i will put up with it until i get a better one. I will check my doubles over winter & let you know what i have Pete.
Re: Looking for some hard to find models!
Pete, I appreciate that, sometimes it helps to have friends and dealers. If I come across anything I will let you know as well. Here is my red Ferrari. One of my prized possessions.petethesweet wrote:Hi john i think we are in the same boat.

Hopefully I have a blue #27 coming my way soon. Still working out all the details.

Re: Looking for some hard to find models!
Hi John , it looks like you have picked up a few models to cross off of your list. I manage to pick up number 52 BRM in E3 box. Pete.
Re: Looking for some hard to find models!
Folks I'm new on here. My grandfather used to run a shop and of course I got cars a plenty for my birthdays. The used ones were given away 'Toy Story' fashion to a young lad next door a good while back. However I have a box of new in box early Matchbox and Models of Yesteryear car toys that are surplus. I'll look to dig them out and list them up here later
Re: Looking for some hard to find models!
As well as listing them you will need to post good quality images I’d you want to create any interest from members looking to buy from you. Try to keep your image size to 750 x 750 pixels pleaseWezzo wrote:Folks I'm new on here. My grandfather used to run a shop and of course I got cars a plenty for my birthdays.

Re: Looking for some hard to find models!
I agree. The more time you spend cataloguing, describing, and clearly photographing a model from all angles (including the underside!), the more likely it is that you will achieve a quick sale at a good price.motorman wrote:As well as listing them you will need to post good quality images I’d you want to create any interest from members looking to buy from you.

Re: Looking for some hard to find models!
You are posting pictures of some fine models so I think you will get several forum members enquire about them and ask for extra pictures.
