Thanks Alex. Bit too soon to arrange a stall (half of stock is 150 miles away ), but a good possibility in the coming months.

i'm gonna try to get up for one later in the year with the caravan on tow ....might even let the mrs come

Hi all, another wasted trip to the NEC over fifty empty tables. Loads of new people trying to sell their collections, only a few old dealers left. A few matchbox about but nothing of any interest. One deal had a load of RWs, about three times the price they are worth & in poor boxes. Had a quick chat with a couple of our members. I only brought a couple of catalogues from Vectis. Pete

Thank goodness I didn’t drive all the way from Glasgow for the fair Pete, although I am planning to go to the NEC later in the year.

Hi Motorman i think you would have wasted your time & petrol, hardly anything to buy, i think the toy fairs are dying. There are no specialist dealers there any more, like Rob & Graham & a few others. Some of the so called dealers are just chancers . Sandown seems to be a better fair although i never buy much there Pete.

1st NEC of the year is always crap

In fairness Pete is only looking for perfect mint and boxed which is becoming very scarce, I always find something at fairs and we are all looking for different things anyway, I love my football stuff and sometimes pick up the odd bits at toy fairs lol

Hi Tim, I think in any collecting the collector will always try & buy the best he can afford. I always think when i come to sell my collection i should get top dollar back. Hope to see you at Sandown Pete.

100% agree Pete but that high end stuff is getting very scarce and expensive, yes mate I should be at Sandown and if you’re lucky I’ll let you buy me a coffee lol
