Collectors who frequent THETOYPEDDLER.COM might have received a recent newsletter announcing the start of a new section on the site called “The Vault.” This new section became available to registered TTP members at the beginning or August and features listings of high-end collectibles selling for $1000 and higher. After first reading the announcement it was difficult to believe that there would be many items available for purchase since the number of collectors that can deal at that level is fairly small. Low and behold, there is some serious action happening there!

Posted items are ranging from gems like minty red lines for $1000 to $2000 each all the way up to a sealed case of 96 blister-packed red lines for $27000! While prices like these are virtually unobtainable for most, there are definitely items moving at these prices. At the time of this post, the most recent piece sold was a rose colored hybrid custom Baracuda red line for $1250! Many of the rare cars listed are owned by well known collector Bruce Pascal. diecastAUDIO sat down for an interview with Bruce during the 2006 Rhode Island Diecast Expo which is definitely an episode to not be missed!

If you haven’t checked out THETOYPEDDLER.COM yet, then defintely make sure you do. Not only is it a fantastic place to buy and sell (ie - cheaper than eBay and garners a niche audience) diecast and action figures, but The Vault is a perfect place to go check out some uber-rare diecast to keep the collecting dreams alive!
