    Metal toys

    This may not be news to many but surely I'm not the only one to get surprised by this. I picked up a few old metal toys at a clean-out. They'd sat around my garage for a couple years before I decided to put an old Nylint U-haul trailer on ebay this morning. It went so fast with a "Buy-it-now" that I got caught by surprise - I'd usually have a shipping box ready. The paint was badly flaked and my wife thought I was crazy for even listing it. So list those toys. There's people out there who want to restore them, themselves.

    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    Exactly, never alter anything unless you're the pro ; )

    That's why I prefer the auction route, until I know what to expect of an item
