Wanted to check to see if anyone had advice on where a person might sell old kids books and toys from the 1950's

I am interested in cleaning out some basement space and making some change for the next tank project at the same time.

Careful calling them antiques, they where mine when I was a kid


No tanks among them, tanks are what I play with, now

Glen do you have a list of stuff, maybe someone here might be interested.
This section can be used for selling or trading other things besides tanks.

Yeah, I guess I shoul inventory it.

what's a Corgi Oldsmobile Super 88


my brother has an old oldsmobile he might like it is it a small scale

and what's a Toy Tank, small, green "Gama Tank" 1950's, wind up

Glen if the Hockey Game is in good shape with most of the pieces, then could easily get the money for a new tank and SLU
Though it might sell better during the winter time.

It the tank the Allies use to finally defeat the Pan-Tiger.

I have pictures of all of them, and can take more. I would be quite happy to send pic.'s out.

The hockey game is intact and still works, its old school.

I am interested in clearing all of it.

This is a time capsule of what kids played with then the old days, I used these in the 50's and earlt 60's; yes, that would make me a.........................geezer

The Corgi toy line was a rival to Dinky toys, both made in England, they are small, this one is blue, my Dad had a real 61 Olds 88 back then.

The toy tank is a non-scale thing, it is metal, about 10"long there was lots of stuff like that back then. Not too realistic but 8 year olds in 1960 didn't know the difference

I am looking at selling some of this stuff on Ebay with the assistance of one of my wife's friends, who is well versed in selling stuff there.

Anyone have any experience, good or bad, with selling stuff on Ebay?
