For a time, I was really into collecting 12" Joes. In fact, these are what got me out of my adolescent funk and back into Joe collecting. But, I eventually discovered that my true passion is for 3 3/4" Joes, the ones that I grew up playing with. SO, I've decided it's time to sell a substantial chunk of my 12" collection (and some 3 3/4" items as well) to make room and free up cash for some more small stuff :)

I wanted to give everyone at this site first dibs on everything in the interest of finding a good home for it all. I know most of us here at Joedios are 3 3/4" fans, but maybe you know people who are interested in this stuff. I'm not a member at JBL, so if any of you frequent there and would like to give me a plug (link to this post) I'd appreciate it.

There's a list of items I'm interested in trading at my website (http://www.ryankingsbury.com/Gijoe/buysell.html) , along with an email link for those that aren't members here. I'm willing to consider any reasonable offer for these items; my objective is mostly to make space rather than money and I want these items to go to a good home. PM me if interested in working out a deal (cash or trade). Thanks and yo joe!

Unfortunately I don't have a good picture of it handy. I searched the web but couldn't find it in any of the usual places. You can see it from the side in the pic below (top shelf on the right). The handle has some vintage style artwork featuring the action soldier set into it I believe. If you're interested I can dig it out and get you a better pic.

Most of this stuff is at my parents' house in Houston, so it's not readily at hand. If it were I'd have snapped a pic for you already. I'll see if I can have my dad take one.

Yeah, it's only about a 4" blade or so. I didn't have a specific price in mind but I definitely would want more than $5 for it. Thanks, though!
