Sale Items

Overstock and Auction

by James Elliott

2004 OVERSTOCK BLOW OUT! As our first year in business winds down, we have found ourselves with some overstock items that we’d like to clear out to make room for next year’s new stock. When we began earlier this year, we had no idea how much of which items would sell, so we purposefully over-ordered everything, just to be safe, to make sure we would not run out of ANYTHING during our first year. Now we know how much we really need to keep on hand and how much is truly just overstock taking up the space that we need for next year’s stock. So we came up with the idea of selling off all the overstock at wholesale prices to any New Helen of Toy Fans who may want to buy them. We’ll be listing various overstock items at wholesale cost on ebay over the coming weeks in order to make some room. Keep an eye on our auctions for some amazing deals - we launched a couple of overstock auctions this week for our extra Toy Soldiers. You can snatch up HUGE CASES of 7,200 troops at wholesale cost! RARE PROTOTYPE ITEM AUCTIONS In an effort to make room for future stock and product items, we are doing some “pre-Spring cleaning”, removing anything that is no longer needed in our always-cluttered “Research & Development Shop.” Rather than simply throwing out or destroying these very neat and very rare prototype items (like most toy companies do) we decided to offer them to our Helen Fans. We are starting to list them on ebay this week. Items will include our Prototype Mini Footlockers (the only 3 we ever produced), Prototype large Footlocker Boxes (the only two ever made), a Prototype Cannon Ball War Game Set, Prototype Paper War Game Boards and more. Keep an eye on ebay for these rare and often one-of-a-kind collector’s items that give a very unique peek into the fun world of The New Helen of Toy R&D shop.
