Now Entering Charley's World
One of the perks in creating Timeless Toys was the toys! Some were rare and very expensive. I would buy them on my credit card, have them photographed and then immediately put them on eBay before that credit card bill came due. Sometimes I’d lose money (took a bath on an original GI Joe I overpaid for), sometimes I’d make money (doubled my investment on an early Spirograph…who knew?). Overall, I’d say I broke even.
The plan from the start was to keep some of the neater toys to show off on television shows like Charley’s World.
