Specialising in vintage Corgi, Dinky and Matchbox models... when toys were real toys, and had real heart!

I am a dealer-collector living and working in Sherwood Forest, Robin Hood country, in north Nottinghamshire, England. I spend a lot of my time wistfully looking back on a more innocent and golden past, long before computer games, ipods and mobile phones, when children like myself could get hours and hours of pleasure playing with tiny metal models of cars, buses and lorries we saw on the much less busy roads back then.

Today, like you, I fondly remember the golden era of model toys, those wonderful Corgi models of the 1960s, the classic Matchbox years of the 1950s and 60s, the great Dinky models of the 1950s, 60s and 70s. They were all part of my childhood, growing up in the 60s... I loved them then, and I still love them now, many decades on.

And what's more, I still think they pack more charm, warmth, style and sheer beauty in their ageing card boxes than any of the ultra-slick mass-produced so-called 'limited editions' churned out today... which is why I concentrate almost exclusively on these golden classics, sold at a time before most people realised they had any collecting value.

It was late 1999 when I started browsing the then very young ebay website, and to my delight found that somebody was selling a Matchbox Regular Wheels number 1 Road Roller, one of my favourite but long-lost toys from the past. I bid on it... and to my eternal delight I won it. When it arrived a few days later, I was almost in tears at being reunited with an old friend. This model still occupies pride of place in my best cabinet. It's not particularly rare (it's the 1d version with plastic rollers, fairly common) but it means the world to me. I will never sell it.

From that point on, I was hooked. How many more of these lost gems could I unearth?

Ebay became a rich and rewarding hunting ground for me. I began selling some models to raise funds to buy more. I quickly acquired the entire 1-75 range, including several variations of each... then sold them all, then acquired them again!

I branched out into Corgi, and later Dinky, and I'm now dabbling in other lesser brands like Spot On and in tinplate and clockwork items.

I'm now hooked, and get as much pleasure selling a good model to an enthusiastic collector as I do buying them for myself.

If you're into collecting these great model cars, buses and lorries you've found the right ebay site!

Virtually every week I am selling a superb selection of the best of these models - all of them usually mint or near mint boxed, all top quality, and all guaranteed originals in their original boxes.

I have been dealing on ebay since January 2000 and have sold literally hundreds of these models to very satisfied customers all over the world. Just read my feedback below to see what they think of my service and customer commitment!

Whether you're a serious collector or somebody just wanting to relive nostalgic memories of yesteryear, George's Good Stuff is the site for you!

All my auctions start at 10pm, UK time, every Sunday, when I list up to 30 or so top quality items, and they all last for seven days.

I have sold numerous absolutely pristine perfect gems in the past, including mint boxed complete versions of the Corgi 267 Batmobile, 261 James Bond Aston Martin, 336 James Bond Toyota, 497 Thrushbuster, plus all Corgi's beautiful ice-cream van models, along with virtually all of the rare boxed sets, like the Corgi GS5 Agricultural Gift Set, a beautiful mint perfect example that sold in July 2004 for 98, or an immaculate Corgi GS31 Riviera Gift Set, perfect in every way, that went for 16 in May 2006. In fact since I started in January 2000 I've pretty much sold the entire 1950s and 1960s Corgi range of models at least once!

I've also sold numerous great Dinky items, including all the Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet collectables, while Matchbox fans have bought mint perfect items and rarities from the 1-75 Regular Wheels series, Kingsize, Superfast and Yesteryear ranges - all first issues, all fantastic!

I spend most of my time hunting down only the finest all-original mint boxed examples, mostly from the 1950s and 1960s golden age of toys, visiting auctions in the UK and Europe, swapmeets, antique fairs, specialist shops, private collectors and of course the internet.

Some of these great gems end up in my own collector's cabinets, but every so often I have a 'clearout', when I switch my collecting fad to something else... which means you end up bidding on the best top quality original mint boxed models you will find anywhere in the world!

I also spend a lot of time taking many detailed close-up photos of the models, that have become collector's items in their own right - so you never have any doubt as to the quality of what it is you are bidding on.
