Congratulations to Paul Biddle at The Toy Peddler who recently announced some impressive milestones for the site that will be achieved this month. There will also be some nice deals on listing credits over the July 4th holiday weekend. Here is the low-down from the latest Toy Peddler e-mail blast:

I have some very exciting news to share with you. This July we will have our 500,000th sale here at The Toy Peddler. In celebration, I am going to be offering some great deals over the 4th of July weekend. First, if you purchase listing credits in any amount on Saturday the 3rd, or Sunday the 4th, you will receive DOUBLE credits. I rarely offer this opportunity, so take advantage of it if you are a seller or planning on selling in the future. Second, on Saturday you can relist any item back to the front page, (where most sales occur) for just .25 cents. Third, on Sunday the 4th of July, you can list any item for just 1/2 the normal listing fee. So, if you take advantage of the listing credit offer and list items on the 4th, it is like you are paying just 1/4th the normal fee! (see how that ties in?) I would love to see us all celebrate our independence from Ebay this weekend and show our support of TTP.

Along with our 500,000th sale this month, we will be seeing our 1 MILLIONTH listing sometime from late July to mid September. I did some calculating and with relistings counting as a new listing, that means we have an actual sale rate of somewhere near 75%! That is huge! Have you ever listed items at Ebay and not had them meet reserve or even get bids? These figures show just how active the buyers are and how reasonable the sellers prices are. SO, I want to have a little contest to see who can guess the closest to when that 1 millionth item will be listed. The winner will receive $100 in cash, $50 in listing credits AND a Johnny Lightning TTP Challenger which will be released this month to Toys R US, Target and possibly Walmart stores. I will personally autograph the card. To enter, just reply to this email or contact me NO LATER than JULY 15TH. Give me your best guess as to date, and exact time of day (pacific time) that the millionth item will be listed. (1 entry per member) Good luck!

For those of you planning on attending the upcoming 24th Annual Hot Wheels Collector Convention Oct. 13th through Oct. 17th at the Marriott Los Angeles Airport, we will be doing something special. I plan on bringing my 1970 TTP Challenger with me and will have it displayed in front of the hotel for the week. You can have your picture taken with it and I will be autographing any Johnny Lightning TTP Challengers that you were lucky enough to find and bring with you. I will also plan a photo op for an all members gathering and will have LOTS of prizes to give away. This is going to be a very special event and I would like to gather as many TTP members as possible. I will have more details on what will take place in an email to follow in the near future.

  If you are a member who has never tried selling here at The Toy Peddler, and has never received free listing credits, please reply to this email with your user ID and I will add $5 in free listing credits to get you started. It’s very easy to list your items for sale here at The Toy Peddler. As always I appreciate your support of TTP and suggestions on how to make The Toy Peddler an even better place to buy and sell your toy cars, collectibles and other items.
