A Return Visit to Blackwell Auctions

If you've been following my blog, you'll know that I always revisit the
person or company's website and write another blog. Sometimes, I'll even
write a 3rd or 4th blog. I added a post for Blackwell Auctions in March of 2024, and suddenly it's December 28, 2024.  

It's really unbelievable how fast "time flies".

I like the way  Blackwell Auctions photographs their toys.The photographer 
does an excellent job of lighting the toys, as well as getting many
different images of the item from different camera angles,
as well as detailed and close-up photos. This gives the bidders 
participating in the auction plenty of photos to see the toy or toys.

The auction that I chose was from January 14, 2023. Normally, I
select the second auction later on in time from the first one.However, 
this time I went back in time, and found a nice collection of different toys 
that I had not seen before.

20" (50.8 cm), smallest is 7" (17.8 cm) in length"

What also was in the description was information about the condition 
of the toys, as well as the offering "reliable shippers" or having the
buyer select his/her own shipping company. It's important for buyers 
to realize that here are other costs that also are part of the 
final price of any toy going to auction. One of the other costs is a 
"buyer's premium" . If you type in the words "buyer's premium) 
you will understand what that means.  I just did a search
and found out why this additional charge exists. The answer was for
the costs to the auctioneer of running the auction.

I decided to search for information on the 'Net, and 
found some information below on 
hobby db 


For those who don't know hobby db is  a website that has
a large data-base (information) for searching for information about toys.

So that's it for today's post. I hope that you liked today's choices
of new discoveries that I had not seen before.

Thanks for visiting my blog.
