I am moving to assisted living by the end of the year and there is simply very little room for my collection of 1:18 diecast cars. My hands no longer let me even hold a screwdriver or allow me to wrap for sending, hence I am not able to return them to their boxes, which I do have and you can have but you must dig threw the 200 boxes I have to find the right one. They are in virtually air tight Pioneer individual display cases. There are GMP, Auto art, Highway 61, etc.. All are American between years 1956 to 1971 with a couple newer ones. I would like you to take all 50 I can't take with me.
All you have to do is come get them in New Hampshire, this phone number will be dead in a few months. 603 539 6988, FREE

I am very sorry about your change in living status, Brush. For most of us, that decision comes eventually, but it is always stressful and a major adjustment. Your offer is very generous. I suspect you will make a lot of people happy. I'm in another country so will not participate but thank you. All the very best to you.

Bruce, I also echo the comments made by other Forum members. Your offer is a very generous one and I’m sorry that you are giving up a hobby / passion that you love. You take care of yourself and enjoy the models you are keeping. You’ll be in my thoughts and prayers also. I, too, will soon be giving away what’s left of my collection. Take care,
Steve
