Wonderful Vintage 1951 Marusan Cadillac tin toy in Gorgeous original condition For Sale

Superb 1953 Marusan tin friction toy Cadillac in excellent original condition. This came out of a life-long collection of a high-end toy collector who had it for decades. We do not believe this car has ever been repainted or restored. If it has had any painting or restoration done, it is unnoticable to the naked eye. Repaints almost always have a tiny bit (at least) of overspray, and this has none. All surfaces appear to be contiguous, with no obvious color differences anywhere. The tires and hubcaps are likewise original, and the trim is bright with just a bit of wear and corrosion to the surfaces. The base exhibits faint playwear, with very light useage wear. The friction is strong.The Caddy measures approximately 12.5\" long. Please look closely at the many pictures included, and email with any specific questions. I\'ll do my best to answer. $400 start with . .........This item and most everything we\'ll be listing in the coming months is from our storage unit. I am unloading items at random, so I never know what\'s going to show up in our sale at any given time. Lots of paper ephemera, vintage magazines, books, vintage and antique toys, 8mm movies, vintage T\'s and other clothing, and other cool stuff, from Victorian children\'s books to 1940\'s adult movies. I will be listing items every week or two until I\'ve made a dent in our stock, so keep a watch on our sales as you (or I, for that matter) never know what might show up. It\'s time to move these items to make room for more stuff, and we\'re listing them at cost or below. A very good opportunity to buy great vintage items at a price that leaves plenty of room for the end user or re-seller. Shipping cost on this vintage Japanese tin toy is $13.00, within the Continental US only, with tracking and insurance included. We will combine shipping on multiple purchases whenever possible at the lowest additional cost. All potential buyers outside the Lower 48 United States must email first for shipping availability and shipping costs. No exceptions, please.

With over 15 years of selling on , and over 2000 excellent, positive responses (mostly for selling items worth well over $100) this person left me bad feeback for mistake I made on a $5 item. I sold 2 sets of what I was told were \"Proof\"grade U.S. coins. Each pack of coins was in a factory made clear Cello package, and each included a penny, nickle, dime, quarter, half-dollar, and one dollar piece. The face value of the coins was $3.82, and they sold for $4.99. Without informing me of the mistake (he claimed they were not proof, but a slightly lesser grade), or asking me to make it right, he summarily left bad response for me. This notwithstanding the fact that I had high-resolution photos of both front and back of each item that potential buyers could cleary see content and condition. Instead of emailing me first to let me know of the error, he offer on them, received them promptly, then decided I\'d ripped him off, and left the bad response without bothering to contact me. This is my main source of income, selling on , and at fleas and shows. The bad response is the kiss of death for an online seller like me, who relies partly on my response to get and keep other customers. If you see something you may be intersted in purchasing on our site, but have ANY questions about it, PLEASE email before offerding to clarify any details about the item. I will gladly answer any inquireries. I also gladly refund the total purchase price if I\'ve made a mistake in my description of the item you bought. We value and respect our customers, and always strive to please them. Please look closely at the items for sale this week, and offer with confidence that you will get what you paid for, or a prompt, cheerful refund from a reliable, honest seller.
