 Some of the models entered into Auction 24_1When one of these reverse coloured BP Wrecker Trucks was last offered to the market at auction it fetched over £5,000 |
|
 And what about this ultra rare Moko Scooter with sidecar!!!!I have only ever seen one before, so it must be awfully rare!
Sacha Goldscheider who is a fellow expert on Moko and the early Lesney Toys writes,
"Clearly there must have been a reason to put the words POP-POP SERIES on the well known scooter's box. Whether the item shown here was meant to be the 2nd model in a series or whether it may be just a prototype is hard to ascertain, but considering it is the first of its kind reported in over 50 years, it may support more the series theory than practice. The side car, which is clearly loading space rather than a passenger seat, is attached rather cleverly, if crudely at the same time." |

 Some members who were at the recent Convention have entered their FREE dinner models... And why not? It pays for their 2009 Convention ticket! And enables an overseas member to get a very scarce Code 2 model for their collection. |

 This pale green Y13 Santa Fe remains a must have Yesteryear... |

How to bid in the postal auction...THE MATCHBOX CLUB POSTAL AUCTION
Postal bids must be received by 11 am (UK time) via the Auction check out
OR in an envelope clearly marked' AUCTION' - we cannot accept late bids OR you can bid by fax on 01244 539414
We have given a suggested estimate. No lot will be sold at a lower value than the estimate.
HOW TO BID There are 3 ways:
(a) State a specific amount in sterling against the lot or lots you are interested in. eg:
LOT 1 £ I 00: LOT 2 £250 OR
(b) You can add to these amounts with running bids up to a MAXIMUM amount. This will assist us if two or more of you bid the exact same amount for a particular lot. By adding a further sequence of bids this should more often than not provide a top bidder. e.g.:
LOT 3 - £70 but if necessary £80, £90, £100 with £101 being the MAXIMUM bid. This will mean that the actual bid is at least £70 and no more than £ 101 and depending on the interest in that lot may well go to the bidder for £70.
Please note that where there are identical bids, the bidder with the earliest e-mail will be successful.
OR
(c) It is also possible to enter an 'Either/Or' bid which means that if lots exceed your top price you can indicate another lot that you would like as your second choice, again indicating the top price you wish to pay. Please note that the second lot must occur after the first choice lot in order for it to be an Either/Or" bid. Please write' Either/Or'
Buyer's commission: Members pay 5% and Non-members pay 10% on top of the sold (hammer) price
We will accept telephone calls to describe the lots in more detail or to explain if necessary how to bid, but we will not accept telephone bids.
A photocopy of the under-bidders bid will be supplied if requested minus their name and address.
Details of the next Postal Auction on rare and pre-production models will appear on the web site http://www.matchboxclub.com, as will the realised prices.
