There were two or more bidders with lots of money and nothing more important to spend it on that got into a bidding war? I hope that they don't back out. The seller wasn't being greedy and should be laughing all the way to the bank. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to be labouring under the misapprehension that what someone is willing to pay is an indicator as to what they are worth Andy! Mike.

They look like Oxford Diecast vehicles. If you go over to somewhere like Hattons you can get something similar for £5 to £15 each, NEW, depending on the size. Probably £35 max for the lot, secondhand, a bit less. Postage would be the same. The vendor started at a reasonable price, just a couple of loons couldn't step back and restrain themselves! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it that they went bust or something? Pity, they did some useful 30s / 40s cars that you can't get anywhere else. There was some chancer asking £80 each for some of those last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Pocketbond get bought up by Bachmann? Even so, the Pocketbond High Top van (2nd left) can be had new for £2 and the Base Toys artic on the far right for £7... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were bought up by Bachmann but all they got was the name (Classix) and a warehouse of unsold models. The original owner/founder of Classix passed away suddenly and the firm just seemed to have disappeared except for the name that Bachmann acquired. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted January 9, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 9, 2021 That would explain why Bachmann after the initial joyous news they announced when they bought Pocketbond subsequently did absolutely nothing with it and it all but vanished into thin air. The tooling must be gathering dust somewhere.... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was when many Chinese factory workers didn't return after the Chinese new year and this disrupted production coupled with the illness/death of the owner meant there was no one to chase things up.

MrWolf Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 So in those circumstances, I assume that it is all in limbo. Bizarre that the workforce didn't bother returning after the new year. Perhaps they got a better offer elsewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
