Every toy you begged for in 1987, every one your mom "donated" in 1996 — plus the store displays, novelty phones, and neon signs that made the era glow. We hunt it all across Texas, building inventory for a future retro toy store. One fair cash offer for the whole lot. No cherry-picking. We come to you.
2,000+ toys sold live in front of 2,400 collectors over 4 years — watch us work before you ever message us.
This is more than buying and selling — it's a rescue mission for the golden age of the toy aisle, and the mall around it. If any of these ring a bell, there's a good chance something in your attic belongs on the store's shelves.
Not technically toys — absolutely the point. The mall glow, the movie nights, the lunch-table status symbols.
The toys your mom hated most are the ones we want most. Collectors pay real money for gross.
Got any of these boxed up somewhere? They belong on the store shelves.
Show us what you've gotOne wide shot of everything, a few close-ups. Don't sort it, don't clean it, don't make a list. Attic dust and all.
One fair offer for the whole collection — usually within 24 hours. We never cherry-pick the good stuff and leave you the mess.
Anywhere in Texas. We pay cash on the spot and haul every last box away. You're done in an afternoon.
🤔 Not sure it's worth anything? Send photos anyway. We'll tell you honestly what you've got — even if our advice is "have a garage sale."
Your neighbor's garage. Your dad's closet. That coworker who won't stop talking about his old Star Wars stuff. Most collections we buy start with somebody saying "oh — you should talk to my brother." Now that tip pays.

Connect us with someone whose 80s/90s toys or collectibles we end up buying, and the finder's fee is yours:
10% of whatever we pay them · minimum $25 · cash or gift card — your pickFee paid when a purchase actually happens. First tip on a collection claims it. Yes, your own family counts — turning in your dad's attic isn't just allowed, it's encouraged. We're kind to your people: no spam, no cold calls, one friendly conversation.
If it lived in a toy aisle, a mall, or a video store between 1980 and 1999, we want to see it — toys, store displays, novelty phones, signs and all. Loose, boxed, played-with, or mint.
Straight talk — what we pass on: fast-food/kids-meal toys and Beanie Babies. We recommend donating to your local elementary schools for teachers to hand out as prizes and rewards throughout the year — the kids love them.
Every collection we buy is a little more shelf stock for the future store — and most of them start with one photo and a DM.
This isn't flipping. Every collection we buy gets tagged, cared for, and set aside for the day we open the doors of a real retro toy store — the kind of place we all remember walking into in 1987. Here's where we are:
First live Whatnot auction. A folding table and two bins.
1,000th toy sold live. Buying trips across DFW.
Now buying statewide — Amarillo to the Valley.
The store. Your old toys on real shelves. Follow along.
First dibs when the store doors open — plus the occasional legendary find along the way. No spam, ever.
Opens your email app — one tap to send. [Swap for a real mailing-list form at launch.]
One offer for everything. We never take the two rare figures and leave you a garage full of "the rest."
No checks in the mail, no "consignment," no waiting. We count it out at your kitchen table.
2,000+ sales in live auctions with reviews to match. Tune into a Whatnot show, or browse our eBay store, and see how we treat toys — and people.
Settling a loved one's collection is hard. We're patient, we explain what things are, and their toys end up on a store shelf — not in a landfill.
"They answered my photos the same afternoon, drove out two days later, and paid exactly what they offered. My dad's toys went to somebody who actually cares." [ Real seller review goes here — collect these from day one ]
Based in Forney, buying everywhere. Big collection out in the Panhandle or down in the Valley? That's not a problem — that's a road trip.

Nope. That's our job. Send photos and we'll tell you what you've got, honestly — including when something isn't worth much. You'll never be penalized for not knowing.
Nope — if it's 80s/90s nostalgia, we want to see it. Novelty phones (yes, the cheeseburger one), store displays and standees, neon and advertising signs, lunchboxes, arcade and pinball stuff, video-store leftovers — if it made the era feel like the era, it belongs on the store's shelves.
Send them anyway. Played-with toys are most of what we buy. Don't clean anything — sometimes cleaning actually hurts the value.
Yes. One offer, everything goes, including the box of parts nobody can identify. That's the point — you get an empty garage and cash, in one afternoon.
Gently and at your pace. We'll walk through what's there, explain what things are, make one offer for all of it, and handle every box ourselves. Many families tell us it's the easiest part of the whole process.
That's the Texas Toy Bounty. Send us the tip or forward your person our message, and if we end up buying their collection, you get 10% of whatever we pay them (minimum $25) — cash or gift card, same day. Your own family absolutely counts.
When the shelves are ready. We're building inventory the right way — one Texas collection at a time — and posting the journey on Instagram and Facebook. Follow along and you'll know the moment we do.
