I was standing chatting to a stallholder when someone asked him ‘how much’ for the Meccano which was on display and he said he wanted £40.00 which I thought was a realistic price. “Give you a tenner” was refused and the potential buyer walked off moaning about overpriced goods! (cheeky bugger)I thought his offer was derisory so I told the seller he should put it on eBay to which he said ‘I cant be bothered’ “In that case I will give you your forty quid and I will put it on eBay” and I did because I could be bothered and was mega chuffed when the whole set of over 400 pieces sold for an impressive £110.00 plus £4.50 postage. By the way I must tell you the truth it was Lou who listed it for me and did I get paid? Of course not! OVER 400 PIECES OF VINTAGE MECCANO. THERE IS WHAT LOOKS LIKE A MOTOR – DON’T KNOW IF IT WORKS – NOT TESTED. ALSO WHAT LOOKS LIKE A WIND UP MOTOR – CLOCK? WHEELS AND PLATES SPROCKETS AND WIDGETS. SCREWS BRACKETS AND COGGS. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU COULD MAKE. I’VE NEVER BEEN A BOY! THE SCREWS ARE INCLUDED THERE ARE JUST TOO MANY TO COUNT. PLEASE LOOK AT THE PHOTO’S AND DECIDE FOR YOURSELF WHAT IS THERE. SOME OF THE LONG BITS ARE SLIGHTLY BENT BUT IT NEARLY ALL LOOKS IN GREAT CONDITION FOR ITS AGE. SOLD WITHOUT RESERVE.
