agoose Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 So all these are my boxed Britains, which I still have since childhood. First up in no particular order is the Push off buck rake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agoose Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 i will keep an eye out for an unboxed one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Those buckrakes (boxed) in that colour seem to make big money EBAY & im looking for one unboxed in that colour . Agreed Justin but the red one is rarer and more expensive I would say. We had a topic once about it before. I can't put a link of it into here for whatever reason but I have bumped that old post again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agoose Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) Does anyone know how many of the Ford and irrigator sets were produced? There was a thread on this before in which I commented. Seemingly this set was only made 84/85 to 86 Note that there is a Ford 7710 in the set On the back of the box a TW20 is featured Edited October 30, 2012 by agoose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 The red buck rake http://tinyurl.com/9h4pqn5 The red one may be rareish but in my opinion is not worth that kind of money. I certainly did not pay and would not pay that amount for one but I suppose it depends on how desperate one is to get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly did not pay and would not pay that amount for one but I suppose it depends on how desperate one is to get one. Agreed. I would pay £35-40 max for a boxed one, but have given up looking as it still commands silly prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) I'm sure you will find one some day at the right price Chris but personally I would value that one on ebay at £ 50 tops including postage but that just my opinion.

Pretty much on the money, if you forgive the pun.
