I HAVE HAD THIS STASHED AWAY WITH A FEW HUNDRED (TO THOUSANDS) OR SO ADDITIONAL MODELS THAT I HAVE COLLECTED OVER THE PAST 5 DECADES OR SO.
I HAVE A
BOUT 10 COMPLETE AND DIFFERENT VARIANTO SETS IN HOUSE THAT I WILL BE OFFERING UP HERE ON EBAY OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTH OR SO.
THIS SET IS SOMEWHAT UNIQUE TO SCHUCO WORLD OF 3010 SETS!
HAVING HUNDREDS OF MODEL CARS TO CHOOSE FROM, MOSTLY PORSCHE AND CORVETTES, I HAVE DECIDED TO START LISTING SOME OF THESE HERE ON E-BAY. 95% OF THESE ARE ONE-OF-A-KINDS LISTINGS AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO SHOW YOU AN ARRAY OF PICTURES AND DESCRIBE THEM TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. THIS COMPLETE, SCHUCO 3010D VARIANTO SET WITH ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL ACCESSORIES IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE
!
AS YOU CAN SEE THE ORIGINAL BOX IS HERE AND IN
GOOD
OVERALL CONDITION/SHAPE.
THE BASE
AND LID ARE 100% ORIGINAL. AT ONE POINT IN TIME, THE LID WAS FLATTENED, SO IT HAD ALL OF IT'S INNER CORNERS GLUED. SCHUCO DOES/DID NOT USE THE LID TO HOLD
MANY TRACK ACCESSORIES, AS THEY DO WITH THIS 3010D SET.
THIS BOX, AS WITH SO MANY OF MY LISTINGS HERE, HAS SURVIVED A MASSIVE FAMILY WATER GUN FIGHT WHICH OCCURRED BACK IN THE EARLY 1970'S. EVEN THOUGH YOU DO NOT HAVE A LOT OF WATER STAINS, THE BASE HAS WARPED SLIGHTLY DUE TO THIS.
AS YOU CAN SEE FROM MY PICTURES, YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL "SCHUCO
-
VARIANTO 3010"
INSTRUCTIONS.
PICTURED
ON THESE SHEETS ARE THE VARIATIONS OF THE TRACKS THAT YOU CAN
DERIVE
FROM THIS SET. OF COURSE, YOU CAN ALWAYS ADD ON TO THIS SET AS ALL OF THE VARIANTO SETS AND INDIVIDUAL ITEMS/PIECES WORK WITH ONE ANOTHER. Y
OU
HAVE THE ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR
BOTH VEHICLES CONTAINED WITHIN THIS SET. YOU HAVE THE ORIGINAL PAPER ENVELOPE WHICH HOLDS 8 SECTIONS OF THE WIRE (SPRING LIKE) TRACK.
THIS 3010
D SET HAS THE CLASSIC COMBINATION OF THE VARIANTO
-LASTO 3042 PICK-UP TRUCK
AND THE THE VARIAN
TO-LIMO 3041
. THESE VEHI
CLES ARE IDENTICAL IN COLOR AND AS YOU CAN SEE .... THESE ARE RED
.
ON
BOTH OF THESE VEHICLES
YOU HAVE
A
SWITCH W
HICH
WILL STOP THE STRONG CLOCKWORK
MOTOR
FROM DISCHARGING AND ALLOW YOU 3 VARIABLE SPEEDS IN WHICH TO TRAVEL FORWARD IN. THESE FUN
CTIONS/SPEEDS WORK VERY WELL AND BOTH OF THESE VEHICLES ARE MADE IN THE U.S. ZONE OF GERMANY. ON THE TOP OF THE PICK-UP TRUCK'S ROOF IS WHERE YOU WIND UP THE CLOCKWORK MOTOR (THE ORIGINAL KEY IS ALSO INCLUDED). THE OTHER HOLE ON THE TRUCK'S HOOD IS WHERE YOU CAN INSERT THE MANUAL STEERING CABLE. BOTH OF THESE CABLES ARE HERE AND BOTH OF THE ORIGINAL BAGS ARE ALSO INCLUDED. THE CAR'
S CLOCKWORK MOTO
R IS WOUND UP FROM THE
DRIVER'S SIDE. BOTH OF THESE CLOCKWORK DRIVES ARE STRONG AND LONG LASTING ...HENCE "LASTO"!
TH
IS
SET
BROUGHT BACK SO MANY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES WHEN I JUST TESTED IT! THIS 3010D SET WAS/IS A MORE ADVANCED SET AND NOT CONSIDERED A "STARTER SET" LIKE THE 3010K IS. I
HAVE A FEW 3010K'S LISTED AT THIS TIME AND I HAVE A BUNCH OF THE LARGER MORE COMPLEX SETS LISTED AT THIS TIME AS WELL. I PLAN ON LISTING MORE LARGER SETS LATER THIS YEAR.
THE
VEHICLE'S BODIES ARE
IN EXCELLENT TO SHOWCASE CONDITION/SHAPE. YES, THERE ARE SOME VERY SLIGHT PLAY MARKS FROM USE, MOST OF WHICH ARE LOCATED ON THE
BODY
.
THE FINISH
ES ARE
BRIGHT AND SH
I
NY.
I CAN LOCATE NO RUST OR CORROSION ANYWHERE ON EITHER OF THESE VEHICLES!BOTH OF THESE VEHICLES RUN THROUGH THEIR GEARS SMOOTHLY AND "STOP" ON COMMAND.
THIS SET WAS/IS MADE IN THE "
U.S. ZONE OF GERMANY
" AND ALL OF THE INDIVIDUAL PIECES ARE SO MARKED! WITH THIS SET YOU EVEN HAVE BROWN MATCHING ORIGINAL SCHUCO KEYS WHICH ARE HELD IN PLACE WITH SPECIALLY MADE SECTIONS. THESE SECTIONS (2 IN ALL) ALSO HOLD SOME EXTRA BRASS CONNECTION TUBES. THESE TUBES ARE USED TO PUT ANY AND ALL OF THESE SECTIONS TOGETHER.
SIMPLY PUT, YOU WILL BE VERY HARD PRESSED TO EVER LOCATE ANOTHER ONE OF THESE 3010D'S IN THIS CONDITION AND THIS COMPLETE (UNLESS IT'S FROM ME)! ALL OF THE TRACK SECTIONS ARE PERFECT WITH NO CRACKS OR CHIPS. ALL OF THE EIGHT (8) SPRING LIKE WIRES/CABLES ARE IN PERFECT SHAPE/CONDITION WITH NO PULLS OR ELONGATIONS FOUND ON ANY OF THE
EIGHT (8
) SECTIONS AND THEIR STILL LOCATED IN THEIR ORIGINAL "US ZONE OF GERMANY PAPER BAG. YOU ALSO HAVE THE ORIGINAL
CONNECTORS (AS NOTED ABOVE) WHICH HOLD TWO OF THESE SPRING TRACK SECTIONS TOGETHER AS WELL AS THE PLIERS TO TIGHTEN THESE CONNECTIONS UP.
I TAKE PRIDE IN MY MODELS THAT I OFFER HERE IN THE E-BAY WORLD. I DO HAVE OPTIONS AND I CHOOSE TO OFFER ONLY THE VERY FINEST THAT I HAVE AVAILABLE. I TEST EVERYTHING PRIOR TO LISTING THEM AND ONCE AGAIN PRIOR TO SENDING THEM OFF. I DO THIS SO WE WILL BOTH BE VERY HAPPY WITH THE END RESULT, IT'S THE ONLY WAY I DO THINGS! THIS
SCHUCO
SET 3010D
WILL NOT NEED TO BE RE-TESTED AS I DO KNOW ITS WHOLE LIFE'S HISTORY AND I AM 100% SURE THAT YOU WILL BE VERY PROUD TO OWN THIS MODEL AND WITH JUST A LITTLE
DILIGENCE
EXERCISED YOU WILL GET AS MANY YEARS OF
USE AND PL
EASURE O
UT
OF THIS MODEL AS I HAVE!
ONCE AGAIN, PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT
MY
PICTURES AS THESE DO A FAR BETTER JOB OF SHOWING YOU EXACTLY WHAT IT IS THAT YOU WILL BE RECEIVING FROM ME VS. MY WORDS. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR DESIRE ADDITIONAL PICTURES, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME VIA E-BAY MESSAGING AND I WILL DO THE REST!
THIS IS THE ONLY 3010D COMPLETE SET WHICH I HAVE LISTED ON EBAY AT THIS TIME.
THIS
VINTAGE, SCHUCO
CLOCKWORK
,
TIN
CAR
/SET
IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF A MODEL AND A TIME THAT HA
S
PASSED US BY.
THIS IS A RELATIVELY NEW STORE FOR ME HERE ON E-BAY, BUT, I COME WITH A WELL OILED AND POLISHED TRACK RECORD! I AM CURRENTLY (NOT ON THIS ACCOUNT ... YET!!) A GOLD /RATED P-Seller WITH OVER 8 YEARS OF THIS STATUS BACKING ME. I SPECIALIZE IN PRIMARILY THE AUTOMOTIVE FIELD AND I CONCENTRATE WITH/ON PORSCHE, BENTLEY, AUDI AND "
PORSCHE DESIGN
" ITEMS/ACCESSORIES.
I HAVE A UPS ACCOUNT AND MOST OF MY OFFERINGS HERE SHALL BE SENT THAT WAY. I PACK EACH AND EVERY ITEM MYSELF AND DO SO AS IF I WERE RECEIVING IT. ALL OF MY DOMESTIC SHIPMENTS WILL BE INSURED FOR THE SELLING PRICE. I ENTER THE SHIPPING DATA DAILY INTO BOTH E-BAY AND PAYPAL. THIS
SCHUCO
VARIANTO SET 3010D
WILL BE SENT VIA THE USPS AND WILL BE FULLY INSURED.
FOR MY INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS, THIS ITEM WILL BE PLACED INTO EBAY'S "GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM (GSP)". UNFORTUNATELY, IN THE PAST I HAVE HAD A FEW RUN-IN'S WITH SOME SCRUPULOUS BUYERS, WHO BY THEIR VERY NATURE "DO NOT PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS". BY UTILIZING EBAY'S GSP THIS OFFERS "WE THE SELLERS" SOME ADDED PROTECTION FROM BUYERS WITH THIS STATE OF MIND AND ATTITUDE.
IN ADDITION, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO DECLARE THIS ITEM FOR .00 AND THEN TURN AROUND AND INSURE IT FOR IT'S ACTUAL VALUE, SO PLEASE, DO NOT ASK IF I WILL LOWER IT'S DECLARATION VALUE. BY USING EBAY'S GSP, THEY DETERMINE IF ANY "IMPORT FEES" ARE TO BE COLLECTED. I HAVE NO CONTROL OR SAY IN THIS MATTER, SO PLEASE DO NOT FAULT ME FOR THIS ACTION.
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, PLEASE READ THE VERY BOTTOM OF THIS SECTION AS IT DOES APPLY TO YOU.......
AS MENTIONED ABOVE, THIS IS A NEW AREA FOR ME (HERE ON E-BAY) AND I DO TRY MY BEST TO DO AS GOOD AS I CAN. THIS HAS BECOME A FULL TIME BUSINESS FOR ME AND I REALLY ENJOY DOING IT. I WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO TILL IT BECOMES A BURDEN AND I CAN NO LONGER ENJOY IT. I WILL BE ADDING TO THIS STORE WEEKLY (OR TRYING TO) AND HOPEFULLY YOU WILL SEE THAT I DO EXACTLY WHAT I SAY AND DO SO IN A VERY TIMELY FASHION.
THIS WILL BE OFFERED IN THE BUY-IT-NOW FORMAT.
IT IS MY INTENTION TO LIST ONE OR TWO DIFFERENT MODELS EACH AND EVERY DAY (IF AT ALL POSSIBLE), OR UNTIL SUCH A TIME WHEN I GET BURNT OUT FROM DOING SO. IT MIGHT BEHOOVE YOU TO CHECK IN WITH ME OFTEN AS YOU'LL NEVER KNOW WHEN AND IF I WILL OFFER THAT SPECIAL SOMETHING THAT WILL ROUND OUT OR COMPLETE YOUR COLLECTION!
THIS IS WHERE I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME IN READING ALL OF THE ABOVE.
I HAVE JUST ADDED THE "STORE" FEATURE THAT E-BAY OFFERS WE SELLERS TO USE (AT A FEE OF COURSE) AND THIS IS TO ASSIST YOU, THE BUYER, TO VIEW ALL OF MY OFFERINGS. IN ORDER TO VIEW MY LISTINGS IN A CONCISE AND ORDERLY FASHION, ALL YOU NEED DO IS TO LOCATE THAT SMALL "
RED
" DOOR A TOP THIS PAGE. THIS IS LOCATED JUST BELOW MY SELLERS ID AND FEEDBACK TALLY. ONCE LOCATED, A SINGLE LEFT CLICK ON IT WILL IN TURN "
OPEN
" THE VIRTUAL DOOR TO MY STORE HERE ON E-BAY!
IN ORDER TO STREAMLINE YOUR SEARCH FURTHER, ONCE YOUR IN MY STORE, TO THE LEFT YOU WILL SEE A "SEARCH" BAR, IF YOU'D LIKE TO SEE JUST MY MODEL CARS, JUST TYPE IN "MODEL CAR" AND JUST MY LISTED MODEL CARS WILL POP-UP. ... IF YOU'D LIKE TO SEE SOME LP'S ... YOU GOT IT ... TYPE IN "ALBUMS" . I THINK YOU GET THE GIST OF THIS NOW!
I HAVE A LIST OF CATEGORIES THAT WILL ASSIST YOU IN STREAMLINING YOUR SEARCH AS WELL. I HAVE JUST ADDED A NEWER CATEGORY "ANTIQUE/VINTAGE TOYS" TO HELP KEEP SOME OF THESE MODELS SEPARATE FROM MY OTHER LISTINGS HERE.
ONCE AGAIN, I THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATIONS ON THIS
