Toy Collector’s eBay-killing online marketplace for collectable toys and models is now fully operational, with all site users able to buy and sell.

Having launched in Beta mode in June, with access provided by invitation, the market is now fully-operational and open to the public. Initially, the focus is on vintage Dinky and Corgi Toys, with the intention of rolling out to cover other brands and areas of the toy, model and hobby market, catering for both antique and modern items, accessories and supplies. As of launch, several hundred items are already listed for sale, with more going up continuously.

Richard Hewis, trading as The Retro Trader has been part of the Beta launch and says: “I love the way the catalogue makes selling really easy and also how simple and straight-forward the rules are and predict that this will become my main channel!”
