The Unofficial Mamod and Other Steam Forum

Manxman · Posted: Sat Jul 12, 2008 8:08 am Post subject: Tin Toys History and Auctions

I must want my bumps read. But this morning I'm going to share a very special website with the forum. This is one of those places I think you'll all end up visiting more and more.

I'm not quite sure how it works but it is a search function for eBay and will look up tin toys and come up with the best matches.

Now we can all use eBay and you may think why bother with this site. Well simple, by using the flags you can do the same search on 8 different eBay sites. All the favs are thier but also a few you may not think to use.

I don't know how their search works but it can sometimes find toys I can't seem to find with my normal search skills.

So I'd ask people to visit the site. Maybe start with a Bing search and see what Bing models are on sale around the world and hopefully you'll all think a secret well shared.

And now the link:

I have stumbled across that site before and promptly lost it again.

Now added to my favourites.

Thank you for posting it, as it is very helpful indeed.

It is a very interesting little site and I've found a couple of treasures this way. Just remember to keep clicking between the flags.

Amazing Chris,

Its funny but like Les I came across that site ages ago when I started collecting and like an idiot I forgot what goggle search I found it on, an for the life of me could not find it again.

Thanks Chris this is a superb time saver… and I can spend time with my wife of an evening now instead of trawling through all the Ebay sites

It is either a time saver or time eater, depending how you look at it.

Yeah, I bookmarked the site as well, it is on my Safari Bookmark Bar.

Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for the website.
(I just editted your post and fixed your link as it had a ',' instead of a '.' in it.)

..old thread, but just wanted to let you guys know I am busy modifying my website, since Google let me know they didn't like my site

good news is, I added some new auction sites, though very little Mamod is to be found on other sites, but hey you'll never know, maybe you'll find treasures in the outskirts of the internet someday

If there's anything you want to see on my website, new features or etc. let me know!
