assistant: Gary:
    I'm interested in the above, but am extremely cash-tight.  Interested in
trading for computer equipment?  Mostly olders stuff, but it all works and
will arrive working.  What would you want (cash-wise) for the above albums
and estimated shipping?  What kind of trade (if any) would you be interested
in?
    Thanks!

Write your reply.

assistant: Hiya, Robert, the answer is a big yes, my toy car collection is my
favorite, and I too began collecting them at a young age. Hot Wheels (
especially the early " red line " stuff ) is nicely detailed. I had the
Mongoose & Snake set, too, but all that is left are bits and pieces,
however, I have a complete set of the " Olds 442 " series, where the
same model is painted different colors and trim : Police car, Fire Chief
car, Army car, etc. They are my favorite, along with the ' 69 Firebird.
I also have some of the " Models of Yesteryear " cars, some rubber
bodied cars from the 30's & 40's ( pre-plastic stuff that belonged to
my Uncles ) and a box full of the metal bodied " Midgetoy "cars, a good
mix of stuff, all in good but " played with " condition.
Someday, when I get some time, I'll sit down with the box of toys,
go through the catalogs to check their rarity, price, etc....
...But I'd rather just sit on the floor with a big glass
of " Ovaltine " and play with them...
...It's amazing how a lifetime of memories all fit in
one cardboard box...
Thanks, and I hope to talk to you soon...

Hi Billy:
I see that your are interested in 8-track tapes. I have a collection of
about 200-300 tapes, mostly country music. I also have a panasonic
portable 8-track player that is connected to my music system. The system
that I have set up can play or record from phono, reel-to-reel, CD,
cassette, or VCR. I do most of my recording onto video tape now as the
quality is as good as reel-to reel tape. I have two Sony super hi-fi
Betamax VCR's. One is used for recording music, while the other is
connected to the TV. I also have about 1,000  collectible record albums
and I don't know how many 45's. Also have about 200 reel-to-reel tapes
and about 200 cassettes that I've recorded over the years. As I'm no
longer a spring chicken, I'm beginning to wonder what will happen to all
this music when I'm gone. I might be interested in getting rid of the
old 8-tracks. Just recently I gave to a friend a portable 8-track
player. If there are thrift shops in your area, check there. I see them
all the time here in Lincoln. Like you, I have collected all kinds
of music over the years; but, my real love is old-time country.

 I came home the other day, the rain coming down harder than it had in

 Luckily the plastic bubbles in the padding made the package water-tight, but
 needless to say that my heart skipped a few beats... everything came in

assistant: Well it sounds like you have quite a system set up. I have checked most
of the flea markets and the shops, but for some reason, I quess maybe there
are people beating me to them, or the shops just feel there is no interest.
I haven't tried any of the reel-to-reel stuff yet.  I just can't see why
people want to go and get a tape of old stuff when they can get an 8-track
for about a buck at the most and the quality is just the same.  I really
don't care about country that much, I go mainly for the old school rock.
