Hi all,
I know a lot of us look to online auctions to
help us build our collections. There's always something old or new that you
need to fill that last hole, or add to favorite track set, or something from
overseas that just isn't available here in the States, or in your Country.
And of course, Ebay is the king of the
auctions. But there is an alternative. The folks at Toy Car Auction have
built a great little auction house dealing mainly with toy cars. They have
other toys as well, but toy cars is their main focus. And in the cyberworld
of giant corporate auctions, they have managed to stay alive in this hobby.
Perhaps it's the targeted user, the toy
buyer. Perhaps it's the incredibly low fee structure:
Perhaps it's because a number of folks have
become disillusioned with the large online auctions. If you're like me,
you'll like the smaller nature of the TCA site. If you're a buyer, then
you'll really like the fact that some awesome deals can be found there. And
if you're a seller, you may find that the majority of your buyers are folks
who you see on the various message boards everyday. There's a comfort in
that, "knowing" your buyer, knowing the outcome of your sale will be a
positive one.
Before you roll your eyes, and look at this
as a paid advertisement, rest assured it isn't. Yes, I do know the admins of
TCA personally, and yes, they do advertise on my site. I wrote this mainly
as a way to inform, as The Shack always has. Just as we all have
alternatives in where we buy our new toys, it's nice to know there are also
alternatives to buying your old toys as well.
