Bucketeer Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 If you happen across any Majorette Renaults then I would gladly have them Checked through everything and the only Renault is the Majorette R5 Turbo. It's in grand condition bar a slight scuff on both rear wheel arches. I must have been an OMGDRIFTGOD in my youth. Not sure if the matchbox Bedfords are worth much but the Isetta and Bristol? next to it are Spot-on I think, and worth a lot.The Isetta is indeed a Spot-On. Means nowt to me though. Sorry Brickwall, the Gas van was baggsied earlier. I can only apologise to anyone else wanting something that's already had the dibs thrown on it. I think 'first come, first served' is probably the fairest way to do it. I will find out postage charges and suchlike tomorrow and will take better pictures of anything requested. EDIT Just been looking at Mr Ramrod's Corgi Studebaker Golden Hawk, and it's got 'push it and watch it go' propulsion and noises from the rear wheels. OARSUM. Everyone messaged and commented so far is on the list. eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimothyClaypole Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I think you provided enough entertainment with your travels and spots that people should offer to pay something for them. I'd rather put a bit of cash in your pocket and know it helped towards future spots that kept me with good stuff to read in the future.

Ghosty Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 SCC - If you look in the picture of inside the carry case, it's hard to tell but there's what I think to be a green Matchbox Mk4 Cortina with a red interiour at the bottom middle, slightly to the left. I have one the same and it's a nice little model. I've spotted a Transit Supervan in the same picture too! Could it please be added to my list?

jmsguzzi Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I will be happy to take any Mercedes 190E's or Lancia's off your hands. I'll also happily rehome the yellow SD1 and the beige number 5 Mercedes rally car in the first pic but only if the more serious collectors don't want them.

Split_Pin Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Once Bucketeer has finished rehoming his collection I am going to do a similar thing with all the matchbox and Corgis that I have which didn't sell at swapmeets and car boots. For what it's worth, in light of recent posts I do have. A matchbox Mk4 Cortina and Guisval Mercedes 190 going free. Not going to mow the OP's lawn any more here though.

Bucketeer Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 OARSUM indeed! I already have a Golden Hawk without, so they will be companions on my shelf. In fact this will be my first push-and-go Corgi, amazingly! Superb! I take no responsibility if the friction propulsion turns out to be just remnants of 30yr old Curlywurly and Wham Bar jammed in the rear axle. I really am working my way through requests and comprehensive listings. Unfortunately, my already poor organisationalistic skills are being further eroded by cheap cider.I'm also having to divide my time between listing cars, playing with said cars on the carpet like it was 1983 again, finding work for the next couple of weeks, baking bread, drinking and other such fascinating endeavours.Please bear with me.Some baggsy comfirmations shortly.

Bucketeer Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 jmsguzzi(GR9 choice BTW) Ghosty DVee8 155V6(just FYI, the Volvo is a Corgi Juniors and seems to be preety poor quality, kind of like an Asda Smart Price model). I haven't forgotten RammyEdRod, Seacow, Srad34 and others. There are a couple of isues to deal with. Firstly, the lovely blue Capri 2.3 Ghia that 155V6 passed over to CortinaDave was actually dibbsed by Srad34 after V6 and before Dave, and the RS2000 was bagged by Srad34 before Ghosty.I can only apologise to anyone who doesn't get want they want. I feel bad but I suppose I am giving them away for nowt, so shouldn't really. I am trying to please everyone in a fair and democratic way. The mythical comprehensive list is still being worked on. I realise that I am probably doing this all arse about face, and that some previous baggsiers may want to add some motors from the forthcoming 'list' to their orders, but at least this way I have a visual record of who is taking what. Confusion is reigning slightly at CampBucket. eddyramrod and srad34 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucketeer Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 Muchos soziness CD. I have to stick to the 'first come' criteria though, otherwise it could descend in to diecast anarchy. With the money you've potentially saved on non-Capri non-postage, you could buy a loved one something nice* and wait for karma to reward you further down the line. Or maybe I've completely misunderstood the theory of karma, and instead I am soon destined to be run over by a Capri. Or a rollercoaster.

Des Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Why not send all to the first baggsier on the list, who can retain his cars then send remaining to the next baggsier, who can retain his cars then send remaining to the next baggsier, who can retain his cars then send remaining to the next baggsier etc. and unleash mayhem spread the workload?

vulgalour Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I think I used to have one of those trailers on that Mercedes and it had an orange plastic canopy. Some of my favourite toy cars were actually trailers and caravans, still are in fact. I also used to have the NASA bus that I've amazingly managed to bagsy, though mine had lost it's satellite dish so it makes me happy to have snagged one of those after all these years. eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have my Matchbox Superkings 'Ford Capri II' in brown and beige if you want. A wee bit chipped but still looks good. I do love it but its just sitting in the loft doing nothing.
