Find child's lost plush toys & hard to find vintage collectible toys

I've had people from all over the world buy toys from me because their life was turned up-side down by one small lost plush toy. They either wanted to replace a lost toy or a soiled one, or buy it as a back-up.

I didn't realize that this was serious and that children could become so attached to a certain toy or item until one of my Grand Children lost their Clifford The Big Red Dog and was very upset. Now, this couldn't be just ANY Clifford...oh no, it had to be a certain size, with a certain tag (very important) and in a certain style, laying down position. His Mother searched everywhere and called every store that sold it...with no luck after a month. She finally found it on eBay, but it was very expensive.

My children are grown and have children of their own now. Recently, we were talking about the toys they had as a child. I could not believe how vivid their memories were. Toys remembered were: Star Wars, Chatty Cathy, Easy Bake Oven, a Rescue Squad Truck, the Bear from the Snuggles Commercial, Light Brite and Glow Worm. I even contributed with my favorite remembered toys....a Singer Sewing Machine in the case, a Ginny Doll and a music box.

This inspired me to sell on eBay. My mission is to re-unite children with their lost toys as well as adults looking for that special treasure from their childhood at reasonable prices.

Please share your experience with a child's lost toy or a toy that you had as a child.
