TARHEEL SPACE GLIDER AND MOON BUS FOR SALE

Hi Paul,
Thank you so much for your quick reply! If you’re interested in posting them for sale on your site, that would be sincerely appreciated! I’m attaching 8 photos of what we have. We were mainly interested in selling them as a set, but I suppose we could separate them if absolutely necessary. We’re located in Sturgis, Michigan, USA, and willing to ship internationally.
We’ve tried to do some research on them to place a value, but it seems these Sword toys are pretty rare! So, we have no set price, but would be happy to consider all offers.
They appear to be in good working condition, but I can’t say for sure. The Space Glider worked great – it roams around and bumps into things, then takes off on a different path. The Moon Bus makes a lot of noise, and it seemed to spin around in circles, but I’m not sure if that’s what it’s supposed to do. My husband said it looked like one of the gears under the cap on the wheel mechanism had a very small crack in it. All the lights on both models are in working order. It appears that all stickers are still there. No yellowing to the plastic, but they might both benefit from a thorough cleaning. We got them at an estate sale.
I’m glad I was able to get in contact with you on these. I’d love to see them go to a collector who will appreciate them – they are certainly unique.
If we don’t have any responses within about a week or so, I’ll probably go ahead and list them on eBay.
Thanks so much for your help! Please direct any interested collectors to this email address.
