    back in business

    as most folks know i stepped out of my 25 year job on dec 18th thanks to the recession...

    well im back in the game

    ive been working hard behind the scenes for soemtime to get myself back out there

    the bank just announced they are going to back me up and just threw me almost £20k to get going again
    my 80's toy shop selling vintage toys, clothes and bikes will be open this year and im looking forward to that now, i got the property all lined up and i take charge of that on june 1st to start shop fitting work

    got my web up, its early days with that at the mo as the site is mostly under construction still, but its opperational
    80stoyshop.com prices on site are a bit over eggsagerated right now but you know how it is... had to do that for the bank

    doing things a bit different this time round,as with the shop i get a 2 bed flat, i already have someone lined up to rent that out and the return off that covers my shop so all i need to do is make money lol

    gonna be a while but ill obviously get some pics up when things are coming on nice, i got 10 bmx to go in,4 choppers, 2 grffs and a few other bikes... my kuwahara will go in but wont be for sale lol
    my existing toy stock currently valued at 10k will be going in

    blimey i got butterflies just talking about it

    well all i can say is sell me your old toys lol, ill be interested looking at all tv related toys and memorabilia, ill do sale or return also and sell by commission

    this is where some real hard work starts but im buzzing

                  CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sure you will do well. It sounds like you have a solid bussiness plan.

                  I worked for a small Comic book chain of stores. The owner amazed me in creative ways of cutting costs and adjusting to sharp economic changes. It sounds like you get it. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
