.99 Cent Starting Bid! Night Haulers Set and Highway Wrecker Set

[htxhill]

New here, found the forum researching Tyco Electric Trucking and traded a few emails with Mike about a find of mine. Over Christmas I dug out all my childhood toys from my parent's house, I'm 45 now, and brought them to my place to determine next steps. One such item was a Tyco Electric Trucking Night Haulers Set and a new in sealed box Highway Wrecker Set. I unboxed the Night Haulers Set this morning and after a little 320 grit to the some of the rails both trucks are running circles quite well, even on original tires. Haven't messed with any of the accessory pieces. The Highway Wrecker Set I guess was a to be gift that never happened. It is sealed and has a $14.97 Toys R Us price tag. Only bummer is a small crush to a rear corner on the box. All of this stuff will probably be going to eBay as I've moved on to more expensive toys in the form of a 1973 Ford Bronco and 1973 Ford F250.

Glad you took my advice! I've been selling on eBay since 1999! People always want to know what something is worth, and this is the way to find out on high demand items!
As you can see, the Wrecker set is already up to 201.00!

No guts, no glory!

When the weekly newsletter goes out, this thread will be in it, I updated your title.

Thank you for assistance with auction suggestion, letting me list here and promoting through title change and newsletter.

I thought the sealed piece might create some action at auction end, but a little surprised to see it at $201 a day in.

It was fun getting the set up and running, but happy to pass it on to a new owner.

Not bad, especially with that shipping cost.

I will take it. Thought the sealed piece might do more, thought the big set would do less. I told the big set buyer I’d refund any shipping if actual is less than $40. But the double box is big and with all the packing it’s 10 pounds. I try to pack stuff securely so it has the best shot possible to get to destination in tact.
