1972farming Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 two of the yellow mf's? :P I've got one with box. :) got it for ?68 You did very well there mate . The first one I bought off a friend in 2002 ,I paid him ?50 and he was seriously chuffed . It was just beer money to him and I ended up buying a load of stuff off him for ?450 in the end .

1972farming Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 you seem to do VERY well tooooooooooooooooo :) :) Yes in some cases I have been lucky but I have paid what I think was top money for others so it all swings around really . The second MF 135 Industrial cost me ?150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972farming Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 Another classic example is when I bought my first DDN I paid ?150 for a very tidy Powermajor on rubbers but have since bought them ,not so tidy for as little as ?35 .

I can just remember having MF 135 as a child but only vaguely but I do remember having 595 s. The 135 is a lovely little model I think .

1972farming Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 yes I grew up in a small village ,the nearest town was 4 miles away (Ledbury) . There was a good toy shop and I can remember pestering my mum and dad to buy things . Pity I didn't look after them really . The only toys I have kept are my lego which my children now play with and my old train set . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972farming Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 still got all my britains from back then, with most of the box's :) My best friend kept all of his Britains toys which spanned 1976-1985 in their boxes . It took me two years to buy them all off him (and around ?1500) but he collects corgi artics so he is glad of the dosh . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1972farming Posted January 2, 2006 Author Share Posted January 2, 2006 the nearest town toyshop was 10 miles away lived up on the black down hills. Thats a bit more remote than us . In fact I have recently moved into the house I grew up in so my son is now digging all over the garden in search of my old toys ! So far we have only found a starsky and hutch ford torino !
