I'm on a mailing list for local Estate Sales. I didn't see this email until tonight. Looks like a lot of models and dealer promos (all makes). Because of the hours, I can't go until the last day.

I could use that L700...
A few of those promos could be worth some money if they're original issues.

Oh, didn't know - thanks for the info.
One of these days I need to build the car hauler kit for my promos, and it'll need a truck...

I don't collect these anymore, but there are a couple I wouldn't mind having.

My biggest concern is cost. The prices are probably gonna be as stupid as lumber is right now.

I'll report my findings tomorrow.

Prices were VERY reasonable to my surprise.

I got there behind two guys that bought probably 30 cars.

The ones I wanted were gone already. Don’t know if the two guys

got them or someone else.

I saw one that I almost bought for Larry, an M body cop car, but when I went back

for it, it was gone. Two guys?

Would have been nice to get there the first day. Oh well.

In three years of being on that mailing list, this was the first one I’ve seen

with model cars/trucks.
