Title: Nice shop owner
Post by: matchboxluc on December 12, 2005, 16:51:23
Hello,

I went to one of my sources of old Playmobil (the one in my hometown) and he came up with klicky sets 3369 and 3372 MIB (a bit sun-faded but nonetheless...) from behind the shop. 8-)

He also had an ancient Playmobil colouring book that he witheld from someone who bought an entire lot.. Now isn't that a nice shop owner:

Congratulations on your finds (well, the shopkeeper's "saves" really) and for showing us them.  :) You must really have impressed him/her with your love for Playmobil.  :)

How do you always get soo lucky.  You seem to have the best "find" stories.  I have some old coloring book as well, but I believe mine is a bit different.

I guess it is mere coincidence, but I'll enjoy it while it lasts (knowing that it will end someday).

I hope your treat this shop owner very well

I am envious of your finds, of course.
I only wish the US had such shop owners.   :'(

the good part is that the klicky sets were €2,50 each and the book €1,75... 8-)

This shop owner is not only nice, s/he also doesn't exploit a great business opportunity. You could easily ask (and get) € 25.00 for these treasures!

This man has retired and is running this shop as a passtime, rather than making money out of it; it gives him a nice little addition to his pension...
The prices were the ones from at least 20 years ago.

Only the book, not the water carrier or the builder?

I have 8 loose water carriers and 1 boxed (not MIB but at least I have the box ;) :P)
As for the builder, I have it loose too, but it's not a set that I need to have MIB. :P

Great finds!

That can be avoided by pretending they are presents (just don't mention for whom ;) )

Excellent finds! I would kill  (ok, pinch gently) to have the water carrier boxed.  :love: Thanks for letting us see it even though...
you are causing me real pain   :P

I have 2 of the carriers loose and was thinking of looking for a 3rd but not with both Meg and Luis on the prowl!  :o
