I HAVE HAD THIS STASHED AWAY WITH A FEW HUNDRED OR SO ADDITIONAL MODELS ALL OF WHICH I HAVE PERSONALLY OWNED FOR UP TO
5
DECADES!
HAVING HUNDREDS TO THOUSANDS OF MODEL CARS TO CHOOSE FROM, MOSTLY PORSCHE AND CORVETTES, I HAVE DECIDED TO START LISTING SOME OF THESE HERE ON E-BAY. 95% OF THESE ARE ONE-OF-A-KIND LISTINGS AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO SHOW YOU AN ARRAY OF PICTURES AND DESCRIBE THEM TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. THIS RARE
YONE VACATION LAND AIRPLANE RIDE
IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE!
THIS
VACATION LAND AIRPLANE RIDE IS IN EXCELLENT TO SHOWCASE CONDITION. IT IS MADE FULLY OF TIN, EXCEPT FOR THE SMALL CIRCULAR CLEAR PLASTIC DISC WHICH ALL THREE (3) OF THE TIN BOATS ARE MOUNTED ONTO. ALL OF THE GRAPHICS ARE HERE VIA TIN LITHOGRAPHY AND LOOKS LIKE THIS WAS MADE JUST LAST WEEK!
NO WHERE .... ANYWHERE DO YOU HAVE ANY DINGS, DENTS, RUST OR CORROSION.
THE UNDERSIDE IS IN EXCELLENT OVERALL CONDITION AS WELL AND ONLY HAS SOME VERY SHALLOW AND SUPERFICIAL SCRATCHES ON THE PARTS THAT HAVE COME IN CONTACT WITH A SURFACE.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS
VACATION LAND AIRPLANE RIDE
IS NOT BEING REPRESENTED AS NOS (NEW OLD STOCK). IT HAS BEEN PLAYED WITH, BUT, IT IS VERY OBVIOUS THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN ABUSED IN ANY WAY. OTHERS WOULD EASILY PASS THIS OFF AS NOS (NEW OLD STOCK) AND IT EASILY PRESENTS ITSELF SO NICELY! IT'S REALLY THAT NICE....
THIS
TOY
IS RELATIVELY SMALL IN SIZE AND FOOTPRINT OF AROUND 3.5 INCHES WIDE (9CM) AND IS JUST ABOUT 5 1/2 INCHES TALL (13.9 CM).
THE ORIGINAL BOX IS IN GREAT SHAPE/CONDITION. THE COLORS ARE SLIGHTLY FADED IN SOME SPOTS, BUT FOR THE MOST PART, THEY STILL ARE VIBRANT. THERE ARE NO RIPS, HOLES, OR MISSING PIECES, ALTHOUGH THE CORNERS OF THE TOP TAB HAVE BEEN FRAYED. THERE IS BARELY ANY RASHING AND ALL IN ALL THIS BOX IS IN GREAT CONDITION FOR ITS AGE. YOU HAVE NO ADDED TAPE OR GLUE FOUND ON THIS BOX.
THE CLOCKWORK DRIVE ON THIS
VACATION LAND AIRPLANE RIDE IS STRONG, AND THIS TOY HAS A VERY UNIQUE CLOCKWORK ACTION!
AFTER WINDING UP THE BUILT IN KEY AT THE BOTTOM OF THE TOY, IT WILL EMIT A "DINGING" NOISE AS THE AIRPLANE RIDE MOVES AND SPINS AROUND, SIMULTANEOUS WITH THE BOATS BELOW, WHICH ARE ON A PLASTIC, CLEAR DISC WHICH ARE PLACED ABOVE THE LITHOGRAPHY WATERS, ALSO SPINS AROUND WHEN THE CLOCKWORK IS ENGAGED. THERE IS ALSO A SMALL METAL TAB (OR LEVER) ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CIRCULAR BASE, WHICH, IF FLIPPED TO THE LEFT, WILL PAUSE THE RIDE'S MECHANICS. SWITCHING IT TO THE RIGHT WILL TURN IT BACK "ON", AND THE RIDE WILL CONTINUE TILL IT'S CLOCKWORK ENGINE RUNS IT'S COURSE.
ALL OF THE ABOVE (AND DESIGNED) FEATURES WORK AND WORK EFFORTLESSLY.
BY MY STANDARDS AND POLICIES, I VERY RARELY DO NOT TEST WHAT IT IS I AM OFFERING HERE ON E-BAY. AFTER ALL JUST HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO TEST A MODEL? ALL ONE NEED DO IS TO TOSS IN A FEW BATTERIES AND GIVE IT A GO! I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE SELLERS WHO WILL EVER SAY "THIS MODEL IS UNTESTED AND AS SUCH IT IS SOLD IN AS IS CONDITION" OR , "I HAVE NOT TESTED THE WIND-UP MECHANISM (CLOCK-WORK) AS I DO NOT HAVE A KEY, SO THIS WILL BE SOLD UNTESTED". THIS
YONE VACATION LAND AIRPLANE RIDE
IS FULLY TESTED (AND ONCE AGAIN, WORKS PERFECTLY) AND WILL BE FULLY TESTED ONCE MORE, JUST PRIOR TO SENDING IT OFF. I DO THIS TWICE, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THE FIRST TESTING WAS NOT A FLUKE! I AM SURE WE BOTH DO NOT WANT ANY ISSUES HERE AND THIS IS ONE EASY STEP TO AVOID ANY!
I TAKE PRIDE IN MY MODELS THAT I OFFER HERE IN THE E-BAY WORLD. I DO HAVE OPTIONS AND I CHOOSE TO OFFER ONLY THE VERY FINEST THAT I HAVE AVAILABLE. AS I MENTIONED ABOVE, I TEST EVERYTHING PRIOR TO LISTING IT AND ONCE AGAIN PRIOR TO SENDING THEM OFF. I DO THIS SO WE WILL BOTH BE VERY HAPPY WITH THE END RESULT, IT'S THE ONLY WAY I DO THINGS!
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THESE PICTURES AS THEY DO BECOME AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE DESCRIPTION AND THESE PICTURES DO A FAR BETTER JOB OF SHOWING YOU EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THAT YOU WILL BE RECEIVING FROM ME VS. MY WORDS HERE. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR DESIRE ADDITIONAL PICTURES, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME VIA E-BAY MESSAGING AND I WILL DO THE REST!
THIS VINTAGE, FULLY TIN, CLOCKWORK DRIVEN
YONE, "
VACATION LAND AIRPLANE RIDE
" IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF A MODEL AND A TIME THAT HAVE PASSED US BY.
THIS IS A RELATIVELY NEW STORE FOR ME HERE ON E-BAY, BUT, I COME WITH A WELL OILED AND POLISHED TRACK RECORD! I AM CURRENTLY (NOT ON THIS ACCOUNT ... YET!!) A GOLD /RATED P-Seller WITH OVER 8 YEARS OF THIS STATUS BACKING ME. I SPECIALIZE IN PRIMARILY THE AUTOMOTIVE FIELD AND I CONCENTRATE WITH/ON PORSCHE, BENTLEY, AUDI AND "
PORSCHE DESIGN
" ITEMS/ACCESSORIES.
I HAVE A UPS ACCOUNT AND MOST OF MY OFFERINGS HERE SHALL BE SENT THAT WAY. I PACK EACH AND EVERY ITEM MYSELF AND DO SO AS IF I WERE RECEIVING IT. ALL OF MY DOMESTIC SHIPMENTS WILL BE INSURED FOR THE SELLING PRICE. I ENTER THE SHIPPING DATA DAILY INTO BOTH E-BAY AND PAYPAL. THIS
YONE TIN
VACATION LAND AIRPLANE RIDE
WILL BE SENT VIA THE USPS AND WILL BE FULLY INSURED.
FOR MY INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS, I WILL BE PLACING THIS ITEM INTO EBAY’S "GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM (GSP)". UNFORTUNATELY, IN THE PAST I HAVE HAD SOME DEALINGS WITH SOME VERY SCRUPULOUS INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, WHO BY THEIR VERY NATURE … "DO NOT PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS". CONSEQUENTLY, I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO TRY/USE EBAY’S GSP AS THIS DOES OFFER "WE THE SELLERS" SOME ADDITIONAL PROTECTION FROM FOLKS WITH THIS MIND~SET.
THIS ITEM MUST BE DECLARED FOR IT’S SELLING PRICE. IT IS SIMPLY NOT POSSIBLE TO DECLARE AN ITEM FOR .00 AND THEN TURN AROUND AND ATTEMPT TO INSURE IT FOR 0.00! IN ADDITION, VIA THE GSP, THEY (EBAY) AUTOMATICALLY FIGURES OUT
THE IMPORT FEE (IF APPLICABLE) AND COLLECTS THIS FEE FROM YOU, SOMETHING I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER.
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, PLEASE READ THE VERY BOTTOM OF THIS SECTION AS THIS DOES APPLY TO YOU……..
AS MENTIONED ABOVE, THIS IS A NEW AREA FOR ME (HERE ON E-BAY) AND I DO TRY MY BEST TO DO AS GOOD AS I CAN. THIS HAS BECOME A FULL TIME BUSINESS FOR ME AND I REALLY ENJOY DOING IT. I WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO TILL IT BECOMES A BURDEN AND I CAN NO LONGER ENJOY IT. I WILL BE ADDING TO THIS STORE WEEKLY (OR TRYING TO) AND HOPEFULLY YOU WILL SEE THAT I DO EXACTLY WHAT I SAY AND DO SO IN A VERY TIMELY FASHION.
THIS WILL BE OFFERED IN THE BUY-IT-NOW FORMAT AND THIS IS A ONE-OF-A-KIND OFFERING BY ME.
IT IS MY INTENTION TO LIST ONE OR TWO DIFFERENT MODELS EACH AND EVERY DAY (IF AT ALL POSSIBLE), OR UNTIL SUCH A TIME WHEN I GET BURNT OUT FROM DOING SO. IT MIGHT BEHOOVE YOU TO CHECK IN WITH ME OFTEN AS YOU'LL NEVER KNOW WHEN AND IF I WILL OFFER THAT SPECIAL SOMETHING THAT WILL ROUND OUT OR COMPLETE YOUR COLLECTION!
THIS IS WHERE I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME IN READING ALL OF THE ABOVE.
I HAVE JUST ADDED THE "STORE" FEATURE THAT E-BAY OFFERS WE SELLERS TO USE (AT A FEE OF COURSE) AND THIS IS TO ASSIST YOU, THE BUYER, TO VIEW ALL OF MY OFFERINGS. IN ORDER TO VIEW MY LISTINGS IN A CONCISE AND ORDERLY FASHION, ALL YOU NEED DO IS TO LOCATE THAT SMALL "
RED
" DOOR A TOP THIS PAGE. THIS IS LOCATED JUST BELOW MY SELLERS ID AND FEEDBACK TALLY. ONCE LOCATED, A SINGLE LEFT CLICK ON IT WILL IN TURN "
OPEN
" THE VIRTUAL DOOR TO MY STORE HERE ON E-BAY!
IN ORDER TO STREAMLINE YOUR SEARCH FURTHER, ONCE YOU'RE IN MY STORE, TO THE LEFT YOU WILL SEE A "SEARCH" BAR, IF YOU'D LIKE TO SEE JUST MY MODEL CARS, JUST TYPE IN "MODEL CAR" AND JUST MY LISTED MODEL CARS WILL POP-UP. ... IF YOU'D LIKE TO SEE SOME LP'S ... YOU GOT IT ... TYPE IN "ALBUMS" . I THINK YOU GET THE GIST OF THIS NOW!
I HAVE A LIST OF CATEGORIES THAT WILL ASSIST YOU IN STREAMLINING YOUR SEARCH AS WELL. I HAVE JUST ADDED A NEWER CATEGORY "ANTIQUE/VINTAGE TOYS" TO HELP KEEP SOME OF THESE MODELS SEPARATE FROM MY OTHER LISTINGS HERE.
ONCE AGAIN, I THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATIONS ON THIS
