Condition

Good, little to no playwear.

EXCEPT - the Frasers Wagon's  rear left wheel spokes have broken. These can be glued with care. A piece of one spoke is missing appears to be missing (small straight bit). Due to this breakage the tyre has split.

As pictured.  Note Matchbox International was the brand that followed on from the original Lesney Matchbox. These are all made from the original moulds and have good quality.

Regarding price

Long time buyers may have noticed a sharp increase in item prices. For the sakes of transparency, let me explain:

I obtain most of my goods from overseas, Europe mostly. Due to the inexorable devaluation of the rand, goods whose price has remained relatively static overseas have near doubled in terms of cost to land here. This is not just a direct per item cost, but includes postage (which has greatly increased in cost), customs and even bank charges. All are affected as they get charge on a rand value. i.e. Because the model cost me more in rand terms, I get charged more in terms of customs.

My request is that people please refrain from trying to contact me to arrange private or bulk deals and so forth. This is contra the platforms rules and also not economically viable for me.
