As with everything at the moment, you need to see this in comparison with the rest of the market. And the fact is, that ...

Oh ... actually I can't finish that thought as the stats don't support it! Was going to say that the Kenner cards are much more plentiful and they currently have an average of £115, so it's fair for Mecanno 20bk to be £150+

But as some of you have said already, this Meccano 20back is the most common version you can get:

Above are stats for the last 6 months sorted most common (in terms of recorded sales) to least seen. The market is not always rational!


what the hell is that?

is what pete davies bangs on about in the podcast?

There are a few options to choose from as you sign up. All priced in USD from $5 a month through to $30 as one annual payment to cover 12 months. You get a month free trial to decide if it is right for you before any funds are taken.

And yes, I harvest the market data weekly as part of the on-going service.

It looks like a really great service you've developed! Do you harvest from forums and facebook, or just ebay?

Economics fundamentals would agree with you, but the market is a wild volatile place these days!

various eBay sites (UK/Euro, US & AUS) and Vectis are the main ones. Forums and facebook are difficult to harvest efficiently, and simply don't have enough volume to be worth it.

Toytoni maybe have hundreds, does that mean there is also fake ones out there ? :?

No he never had the card backs. What people forget is Toni has had just as much if not more genuine stock than the questionable stuff.

Oh I did not know that, thanks :D
Keep an eye on his eBay page, he seems to have a plentiful supply of Power Droid and Ig-88 on Jedi cards too.

He's had a fair few of those in his Snoopers Paradise cabinet over the last 6 months or so...very good condition too... he's also had the occasional Meccano Jawa as well so he must still have stock. He does tend to drip feed stuff out from time to time. Trilogo AWing pilots popped up a while back too.

For those thinking of buying from Toy Toni, I wouldn't piss on the guy if he was on fire. Just saying...
