    i would never get that lucky in life. What did you pay if you dont mind me asking? Ive been looking for a shark nose for forever but i don't want to really pay 50,60,70 + for one, so ive been doing the whole tag sale/flea market kinda thing

    if you ever want to buy an old die cast like the ones on the pictures (dinky-toys, corgi-toys, solido, mercury...) you will have to pay the price, even if you search on ebay, you can't one for a small price if you llok for a good one with a good box, if you don't care about the box, you can almost cut the price in half, i payed for a small price because i bought them for a friend on him who's a toy seller, so i got a 50% rebate (otherwise i would not have bought them from him, even if he's a good friend...)

    usually Solido sell for more here in france, because french collectors usually collect french brands of toys
