Our website is finally back up.. after having connect problems for 3.5 hrs! I contacted our web host people and they were doing a File System Check.. so.. it is up now.. Sorry for any convenience. Still working on getting the rest of the items on the site from our big buying trip. Keep checking back!

We made it back safe & sound from Virginia! Picked up a fantastic selection of Toys & Games. We drove about 7.5 hrs. down, stayed over & got back today around noon. Not too bad for 2 grand parents. haha. Everything is clean and - everything looks excellent or MINT. Mechanical toys all work, etc. I am starting to post now.. late afternoon. . will get all on asap..but will take a few days, (at least!).

Please remember, do not call or email asking to buy the items you see in the preview photos below (before they are listed on the site).. please wait until they are actually on the site and Click The Buy Button. If you are one of my Regular customers that pays through the mail.. please click the BUY button & go through the shopping cart, Select PAYPAL.. and just don't go all the way into Paypal.. Once it goes to paypal..it sends me your order..then email me that you will pay through the mail. This way you are "locked in" to getting it. It seems the fairest way, I get ALOT of requests!

Items will be on Toys1, Toys2, Games, Cartoons, Toys2, Space, Vehicles (Ride On Section) & Misc. pages.

Hope you are all enjoying this long weekend! Bitterly cold here in Upstate NY! Feel like hibernating! No auctions or estate sales lately.. it's pretty slow in January. We are gearing up to go down south at the end of the month (just for 2 days). A man contacted us that has a bunch of vintage toys to sell! So we are looking forward to that! Plus, we will be going to a flea market next weekend..

Meanwhile, I just added some games on the Games page and two neat items on the Toys2 pg.
