I got home from work today and decided to tackle some the toy tractor collection. I want to get an inventory of them all and by doing this I need a photo and a description of each one, time and patience is the key on this one. My first task was to clean off one of the shelving units to make room for the ones I have documented. I started one by one taking photos and jotting down information about each Ertl toy. Before long my our basement is going to look like the Ertl shipping warehouse. I proceeded to do this only until my camera battery started blinking, apparently it had had enough for the evening too.
I was proud of my progress this evening. Until now. I ONLY made it through NINETEEN! Good thing I'm not on strict deadline. However, it is interesting to learn that some of them are worth more than I had ever originally thought.
This one here is anywhere between $165 and $200, who would have guessed it.
I made some progress on the e-store today too. I've hashed out many of details and am for the most part ready to post my inventory. Maybe a few more tweaks to the design and figuring out shipping rates for those buyers out of the area. It may be a little while before it goes live due to amount of hours I have ahead of me working on the inventory. I'll keep you updated.
I found a couple of interesting things tonight. The first one just suddenly dropped out of one of the tractor boxes. It was this 1993 M&M watch, definitely not something you come across everyday.
The second one is this John Deere Napkin Dispenser.This thing looks like it should be in a restaurant somewhere. It's brand new and I'm pretty sure this is the ONLY time it has been out of the box.
