  • Wow never even heard of mego!! wish i had one though ;)

    I never really go to carboot sales.... is there often old toys at them? as i'm thinking it may be worth popping down to one... once the weather brightens up abit!
    I :heart::coffee:
  • Not half as happy as the guy who bought him, apparently he had been looking for him for years :D

    I guess it quite hard to find a 6 inch plastic man by the name of zorro!

    To add to this thread im going to say altho while not a toy....as such its always a good idea to keep an eye out for Blue Peter badges.I sold mine last year in mint condition for £45! tho they average about £20-25.Quite a few out there so worth having a browse for them.

    I sold one with haircut and only one and half legs for £107 a few years back :beer: Apparently if she'd been perfect, she would have gone for about £350. Ah well, she only cost me 50p in a bag of other dolls.

    I know what you mean, mine was heading for the bin as well :D

    Tell you what does sell well on eBay - some baby comforters. If anyone has a Disney 'Lumpy' one (from Boots), they go for upwards of about £50 at the moment.

    I sold a whole bunch of Scalectrix stuff a few months ago. Didn't have the box or anything, but people were willing to buy track, cars - the lot. Also sold my old electric train sets. They were in the boxes, and to my astonishment went for about £90 each.
