Overall view on the auction at Craxton Wood was
it was more of a trains event but there was a lot of die-cast there too.
The lots were all priced to start at about £50 so there was no pocket
money bargains. All in all the die-casts went for sensible money but
they were either a, in very large lots with stuff you didn't really want
or b, MIB jobs that I would never buy. It was really for the trade. If
you were selling at toy fairs it would be a grand place to get stock.
What did I buy? a lot of 7 Spot-ons for £80 and a Mamod steam engine for
£70.
I don't think I'll do this one again. |
