DINKY TOYS
#421 Hindle Smart Electric Articulated Lorry
The Good (Description) : The Hindle Smart! What a great vehicle! Only Dinky would make it. So awesome.
The Bad (Flaws) : It is literally perfect, save for tiny paint loss in a couple spots. Difficult to see any flaws with the naked eye. A very nice example.
The Ugly (Managing Expectations) : These are TOYS, not models, made in the 50’s and 60’s. They weren’t perfect then, and are less so now. They... will have paint blemishes or pin prick paint loss, or a flat tire from sitting in a box or on a shelf all of their life, Compared to modern Made in China products, they are crude, but they reflect back to a simpler time and their very imperfections are essential to their character. They are toys collected over a lifetime, some 50+ years. While all have lost their original packaging, I will provide a bespoke box for safe travel and storage.
The Fine Print (What You Need to Know) :
1. This is not a business. This is me passing the fruits of a lifetime of collecting to the next generation. This is supposed to be fun. For you and for me. I want to be your favorite seller and will do everything to achieve that end.
2. I take great pride in doing things as well as I can. In my descriptions, in my photographs, in my packing, in my response, and in my integrity. If you see a mistake or an omission or a flaw that I didn't see, please let me know! I shoot for perfection, but I'm far from perfect ;)
3. I think that my prices are fair and I'm not much of a wheeler-dealer. Bargaining is stressful for me and pretty much takes all the fun out of doing this, so please honor the prices. If I'm way out of line or you think I've misrepresented something, please let me know, otherwise let's not wrestle for $5.
4. One more thing: The photos are shot with DSLR 24-30MP cameras and are merciless in their detail. I guarantee you that the toy will look significantly better in your hand than in a 4X magnified image on screen, but I have always subscribed to promise less and deliver more. Just want to make the point that the magnified photos expose flaws often times not noticed with the naked eye.
From Me to You (Shipping) :
1. USA: All domestic packages are sent Priority Mail with a Flat Rate fee of $8. Dinkys and similar die cast ship at a pound or less and that fee covers it. If you purchase more than one, I'll gang them up and save you some money. Just let me know before you pay X times $8. I discount multiple purchases.
2. INTERNATIONAL: I ship to Canada, Europe, UK and Down Under, First Class International at a Flat Rate of $24. If you would like to buy more than one toy, give me a head's up before paying X times $24. I discount multiple purchases.
3. Don't ever fret about the care or attention paid to safely packaging your new found treasure. I am obsessive about my packing and spend more on materials and time than any sane person should. You will not be disappointed.
