A reserve price is the minimum price the seller will accept. This price is hidden from bidders. To win, a bidder must have the highest bid and have met or exceeded the reserve price.
This is a VERY nice copy of this FP classic. The masonite base is in beautiful condition, no cracks or chips, just some light scuffing on the underside. The same is true of the plastic parts. With the exception of the bell on the elevator not ringing, all of the moving parts function as they should. I'm not sure what the problem with the bell is. I looked it over and nothing seems to be broken. The lithos are in really nice shape throughout.
There are a few minor scuffs, a few small stains and light pencil marks, and a bit of bubbling on the top of the elevator, but overall very clean. As you can see it is a bit dusty. I didn't want to wipe it down for fear of damaging the lithos so I will leave that to the buyer. Overall I would grade it a 7-8 on a 10 scale.
The set includes a complete set of the original pieces. The pieces have light play wear including some staining on the lift. According to the THIS OLD TOY web site there were a number of different combinations and this is one of them. The cars are the the later style without the "Fisher Price" stamped on the side-walls. I would grade them a 7 on a 10 scale overall.
I inspect the condition of all of my items very thoroughly. Because of all the time I put in I list my items at a higher price but I'm hoping that you the bidder are willing to pay a little extra for the assurance that they will arrive "as described".
