I have taken to buying collections on eBay and often get some good deals that way. I typically find that there are great accessories that went unnoticed or even not shown in the photos or listed in the description.
Today, one of those collections arrived in the mail. The seller had sent me a message saying that she was "also sending a broken black and white horse that wasn't in the auction. Its leg is broken, but it should be an easy fix. If you don't want it, just throw it away."
I opened the box to discover that the broken horse is a black and white Stormcloud. The front leg was indeed broken, but it was there and it was clean break. I have repaired it and added this rare horse to my ever-growing collection.
You can still find nice stuff on eBay!

That is quite a good find or I should say accidental find. Congratulations.

Any condition black Stormcloud is better than no black Stormcloud, LOL! Nice score.

I got my black & white Stormcloud (the only surviving Marx toy from my youth) fixed, it had a broken leg and a broken tail. Fixed, repainted (ruined the collector's value), but it's mine and it looks good!

I never thought anyone would top the $5 deal I got on one of mine at a garage sale, but hard to beat free! Congrats
