Just come across your you tube video.. I bought 600 toy car for £150.. Your making me nervous when you say past there best.. I have lots to choose from, so I should easily get my money back. Once I've graded them I plan to check all there values via Ebay.. Might take my time selling them.. I do have some boxed toys too lots of them.. David Harper got me into this trash for cash idea.. And so far I have privately bought 5 lots total.. many repeats but some real bargains.. I feel in my knowledge and love for toy cars there is cash possibly to be made if the stock you buy is of reasonable condition.. Just out of kindness out of 600 (it was only 599) I actually counted them.. If they had names on them I kept them together and separated the non named ones.. but after a while I found the non named ones on ebay and it triggered my thoughts to thinking I may have an odd gem in there.. like a black trabant..£12 for other colours..So is my black one a rare car.. I really hope so
It's also one of the very last Dinkys. At the very end, economy was so bad, that Dinky tried all sorts of things to just survive. One of them was to purchase cheap Solido castings and just rebadge them as Dinky. This Ritmo is one such model. They were sold both as regular Dinky and also as a special series named "Cougar" in boxes consisting of a bubble front on a cardboard backing. Since French Dinky was no more, at this time, the models were numbered in the 500 range, previously used by Dinky France. I have a boxed Citroën Visa from this series, and on the back of it there are photos of the entire range (I think), they were: 500 - Citroën 2CV 501 - Fiat Ritmo/Strada 502 - BMW 530 503 - Alfa Romeo Alfetta GTV 504 - Citroën Visa 505 - Peugeot 504 (#1306 in the Cougar series) 506 - Alfa Romeo Alfasud 507 - Renault 14 508 - Ford Fiesta MkI The Dinky Capri is the rally version, hence the two holes in the grille for extra lights. The green Corgi VW Polo is one of the first they made in the 1/36th scale. Silly idea, really depart from the proven 1/43th in pursuit of a "bigger is better" philosophy. They also chose to ditch the idea of a traditional grille with headlights in favour of a paper sticker.
So basically throughout the video you called 94% of what was in the box trash basically and not worth restoring so why bother buying it in the first place 🤷🏻🤦🏻🤣🤣 cause you knew what you were getting from the listing
YOUR COMMENTS MAKE YOU SOUND LIKE A IWISHIWASATRADER ... MANY OF THOSE WERE OUTSTANDING BASES FOR RESTORATIONS AND WERE DISMISSED AS POINTLESS or worthless . sounds like you are in it to make a buck rather than knowing your subject
I collect them and restore some that are rare if they require. Unfortunately I don't have time to do anything with the more common models so I just pick out the ones I want to keep and the rest when I have a load do a car boot sale to let someone else try and save them
