Located in Atlanta, Georgia (USA), we at Einstein Design have been involved in the vintage toy market for over 3 decades. While we sell a variety of items, toys are the main focus.
Our team provided research for Atlanta's 'This Old Toy' (thisoldtoy.com) to help collectors and resellers identify Fisher-Price toys (toys made from beginnings in 1931 up to 1999). The company has a large organized warehouse (not a home) with receiving & shipping departments (merged with unrelated long-standing mail order business), allowing orders to be filled correctly, securely packaged, and shipped as fast as possible. Tracking is provided AFTER the postal service(s) takes your package (usually within 24 hours after receipt of payment), allowing you to watch your prize in transit to you! Our team ships EACH DAY the United States Postal Service is open, thus most order are at the post office within 24 hours of payment received. Payments received up to 12 noon (EST) can usually be sent the same day.
Getting your order to you, as described, as quickly as possible is our #1 goal. After collecting and organizing toys for 30+ years, we understand the importance of accuracy, proper packaging, and speed-speed-speed!
Note that most items we sell come from store closeouts, unpaid storage lots, collector swaps, and Atlanta area estate sales... as the south is full of basements and attics packed with family collections and fun vintage toys! All are picked thru and checked for possible flaws to be noted when listing. Upon receipt, each item is photographed (thus no 'stock' photos, meaning what you see is exact item you'll get), then placed in a specific warehouse location, until shipped. Neither pets nor smoking are permitted in the warehouse (nor on any part of the property). Upon receiving, any item with bad smell, sticky with food related issues, or tainted with 'hairs', are automatically donated to our local Goodwill. Such items are too likely to mold, attract pests, and/or taint items stored nearby, thus far too costly for us to deal with.
Buy with confidence and get it FAST!
