Well, there goes the last large item. Our tent is on its way to LaCrosse WI. to a hunter group of eleven. They came and picked it up today. Do have a few miscellaneous items that I keep finding as I do a final cleanup, but nothing valuable. Just some wood ammo crates, and plastic totes/crates left to get rid of.
So as of today 6/8/2025, Papas Toybox is fully and completely out of business. I'll keep this page around for a bit, but I reckon I'll have to inactivate it come December or so.
Again, Sue and I want to thank all our customers for their support these past 9 years. To our friends and vendors we will work to keep in touch via Bob's personal page and by attending the local gun shows as a customer.

Well, almost everything (inventory & equipment) has been sold. For now, we just have a few items left. About seventy-five totes/bins we kept our inventory in, our 18 X 36 Army Tent, and some wood ammo boxes. The tent and ammo boxes are listed in Facebook Marketplace under my name (Bob McClelland). Once the tent sells, we can do a final consolidation into one personal locker.
The tent is an 18 X 36 MGPTS Type 3 Medium Tent w/Floor and liner. This type of tent has an aluminum frame instead of center poles. It comes complete with ceiling liner and floor.
Our final drop-down price is $2000 local pickup, cash only. I'll donate it to the Scouts before I'll drop the price anymore. It's in excellent shape and similar ones are selling online for around $5000.
It's been a great 10 years owning and operating Papas Toybox and Sue and I both miss all our friends still working and attending the gun shows. We'll pop into the shows from time to time just to say hello.

Been busy working on clearing out our storage lockers of inventory and obsolete/unsellable inventory. With help, this job should be complete by the end of March, and we can deliver the product to be sold in the 3rd auction.
Of course, this must be complicated with a nice March Winter Storm getting ready to hit today and tomorrow. It's Minnesota and March, so anything can happen.
Once the lockers are clear of inventory, we will be listing on Marketplace our Pallet Jack and Heavy-duty steel shelving. We expect that in May we will list our rounders and trailer as we will be done using it by then.
Our 18 X 36 Army tent is still for sale, and we've lowered the price to $2750 which is a heck of a bargain compared to current retail which is around $6000. Our tent includes an unused floor and unused ceiling liner for added insulation.
