PURELY MATCHBOX 2
Purely Matchbox 1 was a great success and now we are proud to present Purely Matchbox 2, another 500 lots of high quality vintage Matchbox items from the 1950's through to the 1980's. We have made some important changes to the bid increments for this and all future sales. Now all bids up to £100 are in £5 increments, previously bids between £50 and £100 were in £10 increments. Also bids between £100 and £300 are in £10 increments, previously only up to £200. Finally above £300 all bids will be in £20 increments regardless of the amount the item gets bid up to. These changes are in response to requests made by yourself and we are always open to suggestions to improve our service to yourself.
In this sale are many rare and hard to find items of Regular wheels, Superfast, Kingsize & Superkings, Yesteryears and pre-productions of the aforementioned. Other items include original empty boxes and gift sets. Our next sale, Purely Matchbox 3 is scheduled for Sunday 24th February 2008 at 11:00am GMT.

NOTE: We would advise anyone placing commission bids through eBay or LiveAuctioneers to do so at least 2 hours before the start of the auction to avoid disappointment. This is due to the nature of the LiveAuctioneers system which does not register bids placed within the 2 hours immediately prior to the auction start time, all of which is out of our control.
