He lives beside a friend of mine, but doesn't use computers. I'll print it out and pop over after the holidays. He travels all over the world and is seriously into this, so I'm sure he will know.

Josh, if it can wait a few weeks, I know a guy who restores, buys and sells old toy vehicles. He's been doing this for a long time and could know about yours. I'm having both sides of the family for Christmas this year and just really busy this week.

Look on page 13 of this pdf file for the Bible being sold by a rare book seller. 600 pounds!
