Re: [FWDLK] ebay item *Amazing*



And I always thought "Made in Japan" was a joke! At least it was back in the
50's. If the Japanese want to buy back their toys, that we paid them a
dollar for new, for a thousand bucks, I say more power and toys to 'em.

    As a former toy collector myself, I would say two things...one,
Japanese tin is getting higher every year,  the Japanese are coming over
and buying this stuff up at all the big toy shows around the country,
and rarity, when was the last time you saw one in this condition, if
ever?   I wouldn't pay anywhere near this for a tin car, but I have some
high priced Tonkas laying around collecting dust!  I once had a rare
1961 Tonka Garbage truck, I bought it for about $100.00, sold for
$900.00, it would bring a couple thousand or better now.   John in WI
