The quick guide

Find the toy you want. Trade the extras you have.

Toy Wanted helps collectors find each other. Browse the toys, make a list, then contact someone to work out the exchange together.

Browse a collection

See every toy in a collection and look through collectors’ listings. You can browse without an account. Search by toy, ZIP code, and distance when you want to narrow the results.

2

List your toys

Sign up with a username and email, choose a collection, then add your ZIP code, search radius, and the contact options you want to share.

Mark what you own, set a Trade quantity only for toys you are offering, and select I want this for the ones you hope to find.

3

Contact a collector

Open a listing or profile and choose Contact to see the options that collector shared. You need an account to reveal contact details; on collection searches, enter your ZIP first. Talk directly and agree on the toy, condition, and exchange details.

Own, trade, and want mean different things

I own

Your personal collection tracker. Marking a toy as owned does not offer it for trade.

Trade

The number you are willing to trade. Only a quantity above zero appears as available for trade.

I want this

Toys you are looking for. When a collector offers one you want and wants one you offer, the listing can show a mutual match.

Location, contact, and safety

ZIP codes help estimate distance. Listings without a ZIP code can still appear, with an unknown distance. A ZIP search filters listings whose distance is known.

Contact options stay hidden until a signed-in visitor chooses Contact. Your public profile has a shareable link, so you can show collectors what you trade and want.

To sign in on another device, request a five-letter login word at the login page. You can manage email verification from your profile.

Toy Wanted does not process payments or arrange exchanges. Meet in a safe public place, inspect toys before trading, and read the safety guide.
