Now that is a collection, and I see that bidders are awaiting that special moment when they can snip in at the very last second.  Wink [;)] Whistling [:-^]

I won't be able to make it in time to see the stuff in person, flights are all booked up for Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil this time of year I here it is a hot tourist destination. Big Smile [:D] Cool [8D]

I've been hammering on the PLACE BID button for the last ½ hour but it keeps saying "insufficient funds". Pay Pal must be having some issues. Dead [xx(]

As soon as my driver gets here I'm on the corporate jet to have a look see.

No way am I letting that Corkys Carnival set get away.

Can you imagine if they still had the original boxes for all that stuff.

One too many zeros.

Hey New Haven I5:

Do you really think I would enter into this without sufficient funds to cover the minimum bid? Ebay has very specific rules against this. Sign - With Stupid [#wstupid]

Everyone:

I have finally arrived at the Dragon of the Sea. We had a slight detour to Bangkok and I also had to my spring my personal assistant from detox but that is another story..........

Anyway, It seems SteamFreak is determined to outbid me. His pockets are so deep they drag the floor so I may liquidate some assets or risk loosing my Corkys Train.

So how much is eBay's insertion fee for an opening bid of $600,000?

So true. Approve [^]

Hey those Corky's Carnival C-Liners have 8 WHEEL DRIVE! Sure, you can get the completely prototypical Proto 1K version, but do they come with rivets a a scale foot across and circus paint? I think not! Where's the fun in that? Sign - With Stupid [#wstupid]

So Soo Line, bring it ON! Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]
