eBay My World: bigdanv( 938)

Thanks for coming to my site. As you can see from the photo, I'm a boomer (born 1/14/1949) and share a lot of interests and hobbies of my generation. I've always been interested in anything with wheels and an engine. Old toys and advertising, too!

Vintage model kits, model railroad items, old toys, advertising and promotional items, nostalgia items.

Model kits with neat cover art, slot cars, real cars and resto items.

Lionel trains, Franklin and Danbury Mint cars, Volkswagen items, British, German and Italian sports cars, movie posters.

English

Attending car, model railroad and plastic kit swap meets, antique and collectible auctions, rummage and estate sales, reading.

Freakonomics, Main Street, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, classics

The Third Man, Beat the Devil, Cool Hand Luke, Midnight Cowboy, La Strada, Goodfellas, Mean Streets, Woody Allen, film noir and Bogart movies.

Old-school Jazz, 1960s surf music, vintage country & western.

Law and Order, Crime Story, Are You Being Served?, Mystery and Masterpiece Theater on PBS, 1960s sitcoms.

I'm always fascinated by coming across an item that may have little or no interest to me but, after it brings big money at auction, is valuable to somebody else. Archtypical example is an 1800s pencil sharpener that I used for years as a door stop that brought over $300!

Four years and counting with on-line auctions, Power Seller, excellent feedback.

PayPal, personal check, money order.

Smaller items by USPS and I do spring for Priority Mail if it's only a dollar or so more; use FedEx and UPS for larger items.

I've never had an item returned.

Prefer through e-mail at drvnuk@yahoo.com

Often, I'll get a response to a listing asking if I have more of the same item or a similar piece. I attend a lot of swap meets, shows, auctions and estate sales and keep these requests in mind.
