Tell me fellow collectors what more can I do??///

No longer available sorry......................Gone back for a long stay on Ebay....

Only collectors will bid if they collect things you are selling, or they collect them so will not bid if they have got them already, like your yester-year Foden I myself have 5 different variations, as would many older collectors.

I see now you offer free postage witch is okay, as the postage costs are so high BN price might be a few $s but the postage can be 3 times as much.

Now Australia has started to charge a GST for any thing from other countries, in Australia it is 10% but a well known Auction house stops about 25%.

So with the postage and the GST it makes a cheap model quite dear, I have just posted a model back to Germany it only weighed 140 Grams in a 100 ml; cube box the postage $22-30.

So that's what seems make it so hard to sell things, just the way costs are going up & up and will not stop there.

I have tried to purchase 75-100 cars from australia to USA $2-8 cars pack well, but are $8 ea( 4+) for post with minimum $18
the later larger box or $10-30 cars are $10 ea (4+) or $25 minimum
trying to work on 10 now but fear tariffs and seizure/ransom both sides, as it is $400 auz
sad fact is govt/post is running at profit because of cross border sales but as usual has to get greedy

Thank you both for your thoughts.....Item is now relisted and a brighter picture makes it look a little cleaner.....

I had a look at your listing and the postage rates seem confusing. Smaller models cost more to post to Germany than larger ones. For instance your Matchbox Unimog cost £20 post and your Corgi double decker bus only £10.

Looking at eBay in general postage costs for a “Yesteryear” vary from £3.20 to £22!
Could someone explain why this big difference.

That was a slip up.....Some how got tied in to Ebay postage......Changed now to £10 signed..Its actualy usualy £10.50 but I'm not that bothered about losing a few bob if I make a good customer.....UK postage would be £2.95 second class for all my listings up to 2 kilos but if the bids are over a tenner I send out at £3.95 signed....Postage out side UK has to be signed as I cant afford to lose any and get stung for the postage...Of course if a customer is willing to take a chance I will post standard which can be as little as £4.15.......Hope that clears that up.......Get your bid on......
