Record Money in Toys
Depending on your toy collection, you could be sitting on an absolute gold mine. Whist most of us were bashing our toy cars against walls or throwing are action men out of the window, there were a select few who kept their toys neatly in their boxes. You might say that toys are made to be played with, but with news that vintage toys prices are reaching record levels, its hard not to wish you kept a few aside just to look at.
A record increase of 8% in toy prices at auction was seen last year according to toy valuation experts Vectis. Private sales aside, there was a massive $12 million spent at auction in 2008 on toys alone. According to Vectis the most expensive items to go under the hammer where Victorian rocking horses, vintage Hornby train sets and a couple of Georgian dolls houses. Most of the toys that were put up for auction last year had either been inherited or found in a dusty corner of someone's attic according to Vecitis' research.
Ted Bowers from the Antique Toys Society has also spoken about the rising price of old toys. He states that as machines take over more of the toy making work, there are less hand-made items entering the market that can gain value.This means that the traditional products such as tin and wooden toys are becoming even rarer and thus more valuable. Selling up right now though is not his advice.In this growing market you should be patient as there is a great deal of upwards movement still to come.So the advice for now is hang on to those cherished rag dolls, Steiff bears and vintage toy car collection because there is more money to be made from them yet
How do I get a toy car out of my tail pipe?
The toy was pushed in the pipe full speed, so it's far in there. Starting the car and trying to get it out with a wire hanger didn't work.
If your coat hanger try didn't work then you probably need to go to a muffler shop and have them remove and replace the part with the toy stuck in it. (Sorry). Most of the shops have kids so they probably will do the job for not to much
I do like Ima-jaber's idea though, and its certainly worth a try
