Greetings Peter, If you'd like to take the thread down, you can. We are compiling a list and will be contacting a few individuals, yourself included should you be interested. Also, for the record. We are NOT the Old Toy Soldier Home, although we have helped Craig McClain and Woody in the past...

Hello All, I have been selling off bits of my collection on eBay for sometime now. However, I've found that incredibly exhausting. I'm not a fan of eBay. I'm looking for advice on how to sell my collection? I have quite a bit of everything really. I'm wondering where to start. Hoping for a few...

Greetings All, I hope that everyone is doing well. I just wanted to announce that I've listed a fresh batch of figures on my eBay. The majority of them are Britains, but there are a few others too! They range from all periods. All are welcome to come by and give the page a look. Its the perfect...

Well, out here in California they seem to look at you like an alien when you say "please," and "thank you." I still open doors for people, but a good 80% of the time they just won't acknowledge it. On average, most Texans I meet have much better manners than those people here in California...

Greetings Friends! Hope that all are enjoying their Spring! I keep using this time to clean up my spare sheds, and I always find some incredible pieces. I've listed a group of Britains, Conte, Collectors Showcase, and some Tiffany knights on my eBay, http://www.ebay.com/usr/treetoptoysco...

I too have to vent my frustrations with USPS... The lines are needlessly long due to the employees chatting with each other nonstop. But I could deal with this. What I can't stand is how many packages that I've ordered that just don't end up at my doorstep. Likewise, when I'm selling items...

K&C pieces, New Britains Sale on EBAY: Civil War, Medieval, New Orleans, WW1, etc. Guten Abend all, I hope that everyone is doing well this Spring! I wanted to let everyone know that I have quite a few Britains pieces that I've put on my eBay lately. There are also a few K&C vehicles listed...

Greetings all, Well, I did announce a start to the race earlier, and a few lucky ones got first pick of my collection! However, there are still some Springtime goodies left for those who are hunting! RAF067 Hawker Hurricane, price reduced to $130.00 LW045 Franz's ME109, price reduced to...

Guten Abend all, I can't believe that it's already Spring now! I've finished just a little of my spring cleaning, and have dug out a few goodies from storage! All items are in brand new condition, having been in their boxes since the time of purchase. FW092 Kaiser Wilhelms Staffwagon...

Greetings all! I do want to let everyone know that I came across a long-retired K&C DD050 in my garage. It is mint in box, and is listed at $180.00 and free shipping on my ebay, http://www.ebay.com/usr/treetoptoysco Also, there are a few other K&C vehicles, as well as a mixture of Britains...

Ah, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I wasn't expecting the Serbs and Bosnians to be portrayed in western (Austrian-style) garb. However, I did happen to see a few in traditional Slavic folk attire. I do wonder though, is the movie entirely historically accurate, or mere fancy? I do know that...

Greetings all and Guten abend, I did want to let you all know that I will be selling off a few more pieces of my collection on eBay. Many of these pieces were purchased from Craig McClain's "The Old Toy Soldier Home" in San Diego, CA. The items are priced low, because I'm hoping to make some...

Greetings all, I decided to wait to post anything until January had subsided. I want to throw in my humble two-cents. Now, I know that its incredibly difficult to put on one of these. That being said, this was the worst West Coaster I've seen in all my attending years. The "Room Action" was...

Hello All, I'm selling off a few pieces of my collection. Just some odds and ends that don't seem to fit in anywhere anymore. The figures are priced low to sell. There are also 2 K&C Fokker planes, FW111 and FW112. Also, might I add that the majority of these were bought from Craig McClain's...

http://www.ebay.com/usr/treetoptoysco Here's the link. Also, I lowered the price to 109.00 on each plane. Trying to get some new shelf space! Haha Once again, these are mint in box, originally priced at over $200.00 each. Hope to find them a good home. The listing for them will be up for two...
