I've been going returning to my old blog posts and looking up the posts that I have written From there I've been clicking the link on the first page. From there, I am able to visit the updated websites of these nice people and companies, who have allowed me to use their photos and narratives, and descriptions of their items for sale.

When I was redirected to  EMERALD CITY TOYS, I was pleasantly surprised to see a very updated  site on ebay

On the front page, there is a very useful and well-designed rectangle of item brands and identifying characteristics (e.g. clockwork, tin.pre-war) of toys and categories. Not only that, but clicking on each of the red brand names or descriptors to get to that category of toys. 

Not only that, but you can  select different categories of toys from their categories below. Once again, clicking on a category, refreshes the page to see all of that grouping.
Very, very professionally done.
