    Toyland auction

    This auction came up today on the AuctionZip website. Maybe for interest of those with pockets deeper than mine own. 13% buyer premium on top of winning bid price too. Looks like the auctioneer will take phone & online bids, not really something I prefer as I see a lot of these guys start the bidding at the highest call-in bid.

    But check out the photo gallery for samples! Holey Moley!

    The Care Bears might be valuable but it's way out of my wheelhouse.

    That Kawasaki KLR 650 looks pretty sweet. I have owned both 1999 and 2001 KLR's and they are fun bikes. No good for long trips, but fun to tool around town on.

    I spotted this last night. Most of the stuff looks like it's 90s and later valueless junk, but there may be a few hidden gems in there. I'm going.

    There seems to be a set of 12-back Star Wars figures on a mail-away stand, but past that no idea what else has any value in that pile of stuff. Looks like a pretty extensive yet sad collection of post 1990s stuff.

    For toy collectors, that could be a pretty good sale. I know Bill and he gets a pretty good following at his auctions. But he's mostly an antiques and fine arts guy with some estate sales thrown in from time to time. That means his usual bidders won't necessarily know much about toys and you can swoop in and get some steals.

    If you're planning on leaving a phone bid, though, sometimes Bill won't accept them for under a certain amount. Under, say a $50.00 bid for a lot, it just isn't worth the overhead of staff taking absentee bids and representing them on sale day. If you show up in person, though, there's a good chance that he'll be doing box-lots, and that there aren't many collectors, and you could get some good deals.

    3 and half hours from me. Not enough there of interest to justify the drive.
