I am struggling to make ends meat, and with Christmas only just around the corner I have had to make a decision to make some money to help pay for the most expensive time of the year.
I have got a lot of Matchbox cars that I have been collecting and I have decided to put them on eBay to see if I can make a little bit of money.
One of the ones that I am currently listing is a 1970's Matchbox caterpillar no k-8.
Now there are a few of these for sale at the minute on the platform but none like mine, the others come in yellow and red while mine is in silver.
The toy is not in the best shape but for something that is 40+ years old it has stud the test of time,
There is a few things wrong with it, one of the most noticeable is the driver is missing, but then there is also the fact that the dumper part doesn't stay up and the back wheels are locked in place because the casting has got bent as some point in its life.
I have done my research and the last one of these to sell went for around £18 plus postage and packaging.
I think this cost me about £1 and I have listed it at a starting price of 99p with £2.60 postage.
I hope that it reaches the amount the last one went for but you never know when selling on eBay just how much thing will go for.
