Testimonials
I found myself in a position of needing to sell my deceased husband's large and much-loved model car collection. Craig came to my rescue and impressed me with his subject knowledge and kind manner, making a stressful time a lot easier. Thank you, Craig!

Craig came to buy some models out of our father’s very large model collection. He was very professional and has a very kind and caring nature. Craig took great care in handling the models and his subject knowledge was incredible. He offered us a fair price for the models he purchased. Craig is honest and trustworthy. He is very easy to talk to. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him to anyone with toys to sell.

Thanks for flying down from Auckland to buy part of my father in laws old model collection. You helped clear some space in our garage and I was impressed how you packaged everything up and arranged a courier to pick it up from our house, so we had nothing to worry about. You also gave us some really useful advice about what to do with the rest of the collection. Great service and business ethics.

Having discovered CRToys I made contact reference purchase of a collection of models that I no longer wanted to keep. Craig responded in a very short space of time. I sent photos of models I had and a price was quickly agreed upon. It was all so easy. I boxed the models into an NZPost carton and posted them to Auckland from Dunedin. Craig was more than happy to cover the cost of both the carton and postage. I txted Craig to advise parcel was in the post and what the costs were. Within 15 minutes all moneys were in my bank account.

After collecting matchbox toys from the early 70’s I contacted Craig to see if he was interested in having a look with a view to purchase. Craig was very friendly and professional. He offered what I would call a very fair price. Would highly recommend Craig to help you out.
Rex, Auckland
Craig was an absolute delight to do business with. We had some very precious toys that needed to find a new home and the decision to let them go was very difficult as they had provided hours of fun for my children (now men!). I struggled to let them go but Craig was so professional, caring and friendly that it made the tug just that little bit easier. Totally honest and dependable, paying me promptly and fairly. I could not recommend Craig more highly and he is a real asset in his field. Thanks so much Craig!

It’s been an absolute pleasure dealing with Craig. His knowledge and professionalism made the process of selling my deceased father’s toy cars very easy. He was always quick to reply and his knowledge of products was very impressive. I know the cars will be looked after and are in the best place possible. I throughly recommend Craig to anyone is contemplating selling old childhood toys.

My daughter-in-law found Craig's site online and the references seemed to be excellent. I had an extensive collection of Matchbox toys (hundreds) of all types, the first purchase being in the 1950's. These were items imported from England. While I was prepared to sell, the challenge was to who and how. Given Craigs excellent testimonials, I gave him a go. Viewing the collection, he spent a good amount of time carefully viewing and commenting on various items. He obviously knew the subject matter which then gave me confidence. As keen as I was, I didn't want someone who might offer a price which was unfair leaving me with a difficult decision. Craig didn't do that. What he offered I could say yes to without any haggle. Note, this isn't his job but a hobby. You can see and feel it and I think that makes a difference. He left me impressed with his story and with how he treated me and my beautiful collection. I can truly recommend him to anyone in a similar position to me.
Warren, Auckland
Craig responded promptly to my message regarding my collection of model cars. He is a smart-looking family man, who came to me to view the cars. We agreed on a deal, and he lovingly packaged the cars ready for their car journey home (this impressed me). Highly recommended.

After 60 years of hoarding 'my precious' Lesney Matchbox toys it was time to rip them from my soul and entrust them to a good caring person. Craig was the perfect man for the perfect price. Thanks Craig.

Karl, Ponsonby
I recently approached CR Toys looking for advice and a valuation of a 1980’s toy from a collection I had. I received a prompt reply from Craig with his opinion of the toys possible value. Craig also expressed an interest in what might be in the rest of my collection and if I would be interested in selling some of the items. He offered a very fair price which I was happy to accept. The courier pickup was arranged by Craig and for me, the whole process was an easy and straight forward transaction. Thanks Craig.
