It's a variation of an old saying meaning that when the news that you have Steck to get rid of gets out everyone (i.e. lots of people) will be interested.

Ah, thanks for the explanation :)

No, funnily enough - but it better ring soon because it is going on ebay soon ;)

Ok, I'll get breakfast started for when you arrive! ;D

I don't really know how I managed to get it for £5, but it was collection only, and finished in the middle of the day, and was just a photo of a box of castle parts named 'Playmobil castle' - so I expect that helped, but it was in Kent, so very accessable to people and I'm still sure it should have gone for more, but that was a couple of years ago now.

I wonder how many 3666 castles are still gathering dust on toyshop shelves? I've found them as far apart as Dublin (Ireland) and Eugene (Oregon), but I can't believe there are hundreds just waiting to be discovered by a Playmofriend.

I found one a while back...
I didn't know what it was at the time,
And I haden't brought enough money for somethjing that big...
So I bought a Roman tent instead. ::)

Still, I like the tent as well.
