Just getting rid of a few doubles etc. Been getting rid of the Tomy for a while, Still have my collection and all my sets. Started to price them, But then I don't want to let them go.

Also some prices I paid for them, you just wont get that money here.

not getting the money back is an issue we will all have. I wont get back the price I paid for the wife. but that's also a problem with second/third /forth fifth hand items, these cars are for a hobby not as an investment, maybe 10 cars are so special that that maybe they could be in the investment class, all the rest are for us old folks getting back to our childhoods and playing with, most likely we will never get back the monetary outlay that we have spent, but had fun making new friends and chasing a wanted car from somewhere in the world
Hows your wife getting on Tomo?, hopefully there has been a huge improvement over the last few months
