zBret -Bottom of the Barrel finds

[zBret]

Not having a a great deal of funds to put towards my collection, I enjoy searching for bargains and have slowly built my collection this way- on the cheap! Usually paying more in postage costs, than I do for the actual model. Things have been a bit slow in recent months but have picked up a little over the summer and I have happily added a few missing models, to my collection.


Finally acquired a metallic blue 47b- which I got for 1€


Along with this M8 that I picked up for 2€


A near minty 10b - paid a bit more for this one 8€ have been after one for a long while though. Amazes me, finds in this condition after all these years.


This 53a in metallic red was a welcome addition, picked up in a group lot, for a lil more than I should have paid, but worth it. This is a "oops model" with a double strike to the rear wheel.


Finally joined the "turquoise cab club" with the addition of this transitional K8 Transporter acquired for tad over 3£, was quite pleased with this one special thanks to the "relayman" who assisted me with the bidding & shipping.

Very nice models.
Would you tell me where that Barrel is so I could look at the bottom for some more finds?
