First, this is a newsgroup for discussion and auctions, IMO, should be held elsewhere. There are plenty of places you could auction the set, and then notify people here as well as RTL. eBay is a good bet. Also, Gene (gr3@superlink.net) at the Brickyard may allow it. You may have better luck as a seller from either of these auction sites. But thats not up to me. Meanwhile, I was looking through eBay tonight and stumbled across a nice pic - here is its location: http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=81029855 Its an Exin set, and is at about $30. There were others on eBay (same brand, different models) all at about $30. Does anyone know the age of these toys? None of the descriptions gave a date, although all mentioned that they are from Spain. The figures are very different from Lego mini-figs, but the pieces are fairly similar, although they are more intricate. I think they look a lot like Playmobil Castles, except these you actually get to build. I liked looking at those sets and would like to see more if anyone knows of a site or other pictures of these type sets. Finally, did Tente brand ever make Castle models? I had some early Space Tente as well as some battleships, but do not recall Castle sets. Thanks for reading... -- Have fun!

		Exin Castles (Re: Clone Auctions and something cool)
(...) i've wanted one of those exin sets for awhile now (very cool looking), but they always end up with a very high winning bid...they look to be from the seventies. but like you mention, none of the auctions mentions a copyright date from what (...)

		Re: Clone Auctions and something cool for clone fans
(...) A friend of mine had these when we were growing up. They certainly look more detailed than a Lego castle, but the possibilities for creativity are much less. As I recall, the wall sections were fairly large, and the tower tops were single (...) (26 years ago, 25-Mar-99, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

		Re: Clone Auctions and something cool for clone fans
(...) I like that idea. I mean, does there really need to be a newsgroup venue to hold clone-brand auctions here? There certainly never, ever will be a web-based automated auction service for clone brands as part of lugnet.com, but there will of (...) (26 years ago, 26-Mar-99, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
