Old School Collectibles LLC — Attraction in Independence

Buyer or seller, this is the place for you. Kevin is friendly, knowledgeable and--most importantly--passionate about his craft. He has as many stories as items in his shop! A self-professed hoarder, he not only knows his collection, but has a vast knowledge of things NOT in his collection. When you go, plan to spend at least an hour, making sure to budget time to chat. He's as good a listener as he is a storyteller. Hot Wheels and die-cast cars are my thing and, I tell you, I could LIVE in this shop! But, there's something there for everyone. From G.I. Joe and Star Wars to KISS and Emerson, Lake and Palmer, you'll find what you're looking for. And, if you don't see it, ask. Kevin can find it for you. Don McCann - author of the EDO...

We don't go very often but there seems to be something new or different every time we go.

The owner is friendly and is willing to deal and help on anything...

Cracks me up reading the comments from the "Haters". Obviously an expectation from them as if they were in a nationwide chain store. Kevin and John are absolutely the BEST! Rarely will you pay for an item 'as marked'. They almost always voluntarily make a deal with you on whatever you're buying. As for the comparison to eBay? Go ahead, buy on eBay. eBay now charges sales tax and likewise you'll pay shipping. Even if the seller advertises it as 'Free Shipping', I assure you they've integrated the shipping expense into the price. It's little more than a tactic.
