Back to the shop →What we buy.
Toys and collectibles from the 80s, 90s and 00s, loved or still in the box. Most get an estimate on the spot; rare pieces we price by hand within one working day.
Not for us: loose parts, broken electronics, reproductions and bootlegs, and toys that are not complete enough to play with or display.
A whole box or a whole attic?
We also buy complete collections, from a box of 90s toys to years of collecting, in any condition, for one price.
Send a few photos of everything together and tell us roughly what is in it. In the Netherlands we can come and pick it up; from further away we arrange the shipping.
What do you buy?
Toys and collectibles from the 80s, 90s and 00s: action figures and playsets, plush, electronic toys and handhelds, collectible figurines, and vintage cameras. Most pieces get an estimate on the spot. Rare pieces we price by hand within one working day, so you get a fair number rather than a cautious one.
How do you work out the price?
We look at what each piece sells for today and at what we pay for it ourselves, then count in how it looks and whether it works. You see one estimate per piece and a total. Shipping is already counted in; the label is free for you.
Why don't you pay the full selling price?
Because we still have to clean, photograph, describe, store and ship every piece, pay the selling fees, and stand behind it for the next owner. In return you are done in one go: nothing to list, answer or send, and paid fast.
Is the estimate final?
No, it is an estimate. Within 48 hours of arrival we test every piece. Is everything as you described? Then we pay the estimate. Does the condition or working turn out different, we tell you what we found and talk it through with you. If we don't agree, we send everything back in one parcel, free.
Why do some pieces show a range or "personal offer"?
When we can't be sure from a photo, you see a range that we confirm after checking. Rare or valuable pieces we price by hand within one working day.
What if I'm not sure it works?
Choose Not sure. We take 5% off and test it. If it does not work, it comes back to you at our cost. Broken pieces we only buy as part of a larger shipment.
How do I pack it?
Each piece in a bag or bubble wrap, batteries out, small parts together in one bag, everything in a sturdy box. The label in our email is insured.
How fast am I paid?
Within 48 hours of arrival, by bank transfer, PayPal or Wise. Bank transfers usually land the same day.
I live outside the Netherlands
We buy from anywhere. Within the EU the label is free and insured, the same as at home. From outside the EU we agree a fixed price with you by email before you ship, because sending things back is not an option there. We then arrange the label and the customs papers, and pay for them. Offers are in euros; we pay in your own currency, by bank transfer to any account.
Who can sell to you?
Anyone aged 18 or older, wherever they live, selling pieces that are theirs to sell. Like every buyer of used goods in the Netherlands, we keep a short record of each purchase, so that stolen goods can be traced. Now and then that means a few extra questions about a piece or about you. What you tell us is stored securely and never shared.
What happens to my photos and details?
We use them only to price and buy your pieces, and to pay you. We don't share them and don't use them for marketing.
