There are many action figure collections on eBay, but rarely are they limited to one character. This is a huge collection of vintage GI Joe action figures and vehicles. There are no 25th anniversay or Lanard figures, or any duplicate vehicles but there may be the odd duplicate figure.

The starting bid is $2,500, and the seller has 125 detailed photos for inspection.

This site needs a bit of color, so these 13 jars of marbles should do the trick. Apparently, these are “antique” marbles from the estate of a “marble champion”. Well sure, we were all marble champions at school.

The title and the $5,000 BIN price are too funny. If it was an attempt to get attention, it worked for me! Needless to say, making an offer is the way to go here.

Almost the entire Lesney Matchbox Cars 75 series from 1978 is here. Kept in storage for 30 years, each car still has its original box. How cool is that!

The starting bid of $1,250 is a bit pricey for Matchbox cars, but it’s rare to find such a large collection from the early years.
