Little about me:
My name is Andre Maia, the heart and soul behind SpareToy.com. My journey with toys started way back in my childhood, growing up in a world where a single action figure or a beat-up Hot Wheels car could spark endless adventures.
As a kid, I’d spend hours staging epic battles with my GI Joes, building sprawling LEGO cities, or racing Matchbox cars down makeshift ramps in my backyard. Those toys weren’t just plastic they were portals to imagination, joy, and memories that stuck with me for life. Fast forward to today, I’m a proud husband and dad, and my love for toys hasn’t faded one bit. Watching my kids discover the same magic in a Barbie dreamhouse or a Playmobil castle reignited that spark. But I noticed something: finding quality, affordable second-hand or rare toys wasn’t always easy. Too many treasures were gathering dust in attics or getting lost in the chaos of generic marketplaces.
That’s when Spare Toy was born a place to rescue those childhood gems and pass them on to new homes, whether for collectors hunting rare finds or parents seeking budget-friendly fun for their kids. My mission? To make Spare Toy your go-to spot for toys with stories, vintage classics, quirky one-offs, or that Hot Wheels set you swore you’d never part with (but now it’s time). Every listing here is handpicked with care, because I believe every toy deserves a second chance to bring joy. From secure payments to our 7-day return policy, I’ve built this site to feel like a trusted friend’s toy chest safe, exciting, and full of surprises. When I’m not curating listings or packing orders, I’m probably sneaking in a play session with my kids or scouring local markets for that next rare gem.
Spare Toy isn’t just a business; it’s a love letter to the toys that shaped me and the family I cherish. Thanks for being part of this journey let’s keep the magic of play alive, one toy at a time .Got a toy story to share or a dream find you’re hunting? Drop me a line, and let’s make some nostalgia happen and become a Vendor!
