Regular Wheels bulk lots - Great Timing
Posted: Mon Oct 01, 2018 6:39 am
Picked up all the models below in two transactions over the weekend. I bought 6 or so boxed regs and the two King Size cars on Friday night. The seller listed 20 items over several hours then stopped. I got the better of the items and arranged to pick up Saturday morning. Seller was about 20 mins away, when I got there he had 30 odd more regular wheels and a lot of Yesteryears on a table ready to list that afternoon. I didn't have a great deal of time to look at them all so made him an offer without looking beyond the condition of the boxes. He was happy to move on without lsting each individually. Around half are mint boxed, 5% lightly playworn and 20 odd percent have missing endflaps or tape.
Then last night I was briefly checking my emails and whilst I was doing that I got an auto notification of a question being added to an auction I was following and someone had requested a buy it now on 90 odd boxed Regs with a few Superfasts. I logged into the auction site saw that the seller had added the buy now but the person who'd asked the question hadn't bought after 10 minutes or so, so I snapped them up. Single owner collection, majority mint boxed, a few missing or detached flaps and a bit of tape. but all the accessories are there, i.e. horses, ladders, pipes, scaffolding, etc. Bought new by the sellers father, it's strange that there are quite a few double ups.
Spent a pleasing couple of hours this afternoon going through and investigating what I have, cleaning and generally assessing.
Very Happy. Will spray starch and iron the creased boxes, make replacement flaps for the boxes that need them over the next couple of weeks and will then upload more photo's.
Cheers
