I know some people buy and collect silver coins and bullion, vintage toys, and other items.

Would you know of a specific item that could help answer my question?

Thanks in advance!

I’m assuming it is Burger King or McDonalds. You move the character’s arms and it reveals a small hole to dispense a gumball. Does anyone know exactly where these came from or when?

Also have a comic collection of 700+ issues of Marvel, DC comics. Many impotant issues, as well as many sought-after items in the toys list also. These would be better suited for a collector than staying with me. Trying to make room in the house and my collecting days have long since passed, and I would like these to go to someone who truly appreciates them now. Complete lists of each available, and any help in directing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!

However, all of the websites contacts are usually non-existed anymore or the blogs or posts are from 4 years ago, or longer. I would like to keep the process as simple as possible, not looking to start my own website or anything, but can’t seem to find the best place to locate collectors of such items. I also am looking to find the collector’s that are looking for specific pieces that may complete their collections. For example, He-man shield, or armor, Golden Girl cape, or sword, Barbie shoes, or Barbie outfits, Glamour gal showcase, Etc..I’m looking to keep things simple, I don’t want to pay a website to sell an item, and be charged more than it’s worth. Lamens terms like "I need and want your item, I ship, they pay, the end.

We’ve been through books and websites, and still have some that are hard to figure out. I can take digital pics if someone can help us. Or maybe there is a definitive website with an extensive gallery. Any thoughts? Thanks, in advance.
