Toys in the Attic

Local Pick Up
I’ve already fallen behind on my warehouse updates! The plan is to still be out by October 31st of this year so I’ve already eaten up two months of this year and have only eight months to get the job…
High Floors
Happy Family Day fellow Canucks and happy Presidents Day to the US of A. It’s nice having a long weekend. Long ago I decided the Monday off is better than the Friday off. On a regular Friday we’re all feeling…

It Never Gets Old
What the heck is going on, seems like everyone has the flu! I think I’ll have a full crew at work this week for the first time since before Christmas! The problem with having a full crew is there’s no…
Trash Vortex
We’ve had three auction closings to date in this young 2024 and though it’s early I’m buoyed by what I see as an overall good start. Our icecollectibles eBay auctions deliver a good mix (always trying to make it better)…
C-C-COLD
A nice Polar Vortex has settled in over beautiful Southern Ontario making thigs nice and raw. With all the warm weather the first half of this winter I’ve found myself welcoming this freeze. A polar Vortex alone would not normally…
On the Clock
Okay, the holidays are done! Time to get to work. I’ve got less than 10 months to clear out of the warehouse I’m in right now. I can say that we’ve put a good initial dent into the toys, we’ve…

TGIF
In last week’s post I wrote about CGC having way less comic book submissions and questioned how they were handling it financially. This week I’d like to turn the same question towards the comic book auction houses. The big players…
