As you may know, 3000toys.com is the business that really pays our bills here. Our main warehouse, offices, and home are about 4 miles south of the city of Joplin and the tornado path. We did however have a leased warehouse space in Joplin that took a direct hit and was totally destroyed. We have been able to recover a small number of toys that are OK but have damaged packaging. These are being sold on 3000toys.com as a fund-raiser for Joplin relief agencies. The ENTIRE PURCHASE PRICE will be donated to a local relief agency on the ground in Joplin. There is one Allis-Chalmers item in the list but I have less than 10 of them. http://www.3000toys.com/catalog/products.asp?FIND=joplin,tornado - http://www.3000toys.com/catalog/products.asp?FIND=joplin,tornado If you are able to, I would appreciate your support of this effort. Thank You, Darin Stratton  ------------- ============================================================ Darin Stratton 3000toys.com - b2bReplicas.com - AllisChalmers.com ============================================================ |

Darin: Is there a particular group that one could send donations to? I have bought a number of toys from you and would simply like to make a donation. Thank You.

Ages Cat, see my post above. Buy a a toy or two, tell them to give the toy to a kid that lost theirs. That way some kids will get some toys and the money will go to the tornado relief fund. Dusty ------------- 917 H, '48 G, '65 D-10 series III "Allis Express" |

There are literally hundreds on the ground right now. I'm just not sure which ones are setup to take donations online. Our church has turned into a distribution center for food and supplies http://www.chcchurch.org , they have a separate fund for relief and 99% will go into supplies, materials, and direct help for those needing it. The "bridge" is a Christian youth center that is working 24/7 for relief now http://thebridgejoplin.com/ - http://thebridgejoplin.com/ I know there are tons others as well as the big ones like Red Cross. ------------- ============================================================ Darin Stratton 3000toys.com - b2bReplicas.com - AllisChalmers.com ============================================================ |

Darin, I notice in the pictures a few red tractors or crawlers with some damage. Perhaps you should add those to the sale. Just post pictures of them with a number on each one. The highest bid in a week or so gets it. I'm sure you have more then a few things to do at this time but maybe later in the summer this could happen. It seems a shame that they can't bring some help and not go to the landfill. ------------- "If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer" Allis Express participant |

Got my toy in the mail monday, you folks are doing a top notch job. I didn't figure you would get it shipped so quickly with all your dealing with, wasn't to concerned, figured when it got here it got here. So I was surprised to say the least, thanks Jeff
