I took it, and over the years got used to him wandering around swapmeets with his pair of really big hold-alls, putting the same dilemna to the stall holders, and then filling them with incredible bargains. I think I ended up with a fair deal - if you take a sixty year timeframe....
In later years I would steal an hour to visit 180 Smithdown Road in my lunch hours and browse through his second hand offerings.
I'm sorry to see them go, but new model train kit is now so expensive that I can only see the market shrinking.
