I adored the small ads in newspapers back in the Nineties and the Naughties. There were lots of old toys in them.
You know how it worked: see the ad, ring the telephone number [on the landline] and go to the address to exchange cash [actual money] for the item for sale. Boom!
When I was a keen driver I used to go all over my bit of Yorkshire to buy stuff. Some top purchases from classifieds included a Dinky FAB1 with blister box, a huge collection of old Monogram and Revel model cars, an Elvis mirror [strange even for me] and a mint boxed 1960's Action Man.
Probably the oddest thing I bought was a Ouija Board game by Waddingtons, which I quickly sold on!
Did you buy stuff from classified small ads?
