WILLOUGHBY, Ohio â Bidders from more than 20 different countries brought their A-game to Milestoneâs May 1 Spring Spectacular Toy Auction, which ran 13 hours due to sustained bidding, primarily via the Internet. Interest was especially strong for robots, early comic character toys and an extraordinary collection of 150+ vintage toy boats and electric outboard motors in their original boxes. Â âIt was an exciting sale with lots of international action, especially on the robots,â said Milestone Auctions co-owner Miles King. âIt seemed that everyone was waiting till the day of the auction to bid, because as soon as a lot would open, the bidders would all jump in at once. They obviously were keeping their items of interest to themselves, as smart bidders often do.â
