When listing your Corgi, Dinky and other die-cast toys for sale, please include as much info as possible.e.g. model number, manufacture date/year of release.This will help buyers to find a specific model faster.Also, and of great importance, any damage or missing parts should be described. Even with good quality pictures it is very difficult to see the condition of  plastic windows and tires, or if a mirror is broken off, as seen in the left picture of  the Corgi # 406 Unimog. It is also  preferred that more than one good quality close up photo be included. At least two photos should be submitted with your listing.One showing front and one side of the toy, the other photo showing rear and the other side. It may cost an extra 35 cents, but the item will get more consideration. If  possible, include a shipping cost, or at least an estimate of some sort.  Nobody wants to find out after they win an item that it will cost three times as much to ship it than what the item is worth.With the amount of Dinky and Corgi toys listed, there is not a lot of time to email back and forth for quotes

.**Since the time I wrote this guide quite a while back, I have noticed the pictures in listings are getting better. With the better digital cameras being used, the detail and flaws (plus the good stuff), show up a lot better. Thanks for checking out this guide. I hope it helps to improve the enjoyment of buying and selling these die-cast treasures from our past...Skokatoy  **
