Where are we coming up with the dates on these bikes. I wasnt aware Arco made those that far back. I have some early JC Pennys and Sears catalogs from the early 70's with those bikes in them.:shrug:

I'm no expert i will call jim and ask him to double check his years, He has over 75 minis, maybe that could lead to some confusion of years?

Thanks. You have a project for sure.
I knew I couldn't swing shipping. That's why I let it go.
I have looked at Hudson Valley craigslist. He has some real nice minis. Not fussin but, he's proud of them too. If it wasn't for shipping I'd be all over a couple of his bikes for sure.

I think I know what you mean, I first saw some of his listings and they were around $500 average. Looks like the average is climbing. When I go to see the collection I will post what I find. Whats the most minis you saw anyone own? He said hes got over 75.

That's right up there. That's a whole lotta minis for sure. And quite the variety. Just the bikes in the background of his listings, I saw a couple fairly rare rides as well. Couple Bonanza choppers. Just some real cool stuff.
Sure would like to set on his porch and tell lies.

Thats the feed back I'm getting is he's high on the prices. I'm guessing after your review we can call him burnt toast. Does he have early 70's Manco Parts?:wink:
