"Diecast Collecting"

I think many of us here would be interested.

here’s the first batch of pictures from the cases that hold 48 vehicles each …. Enjoy and I welcome any and all feedback on how to help my son get a fair value for the lot, not individually.

Got a few things yesterday.
I was a bad boy.

50 Mercury Woody Wagon by Johnny Lightning

Next a 65 Ford Econoline Truck that the WM lady gave it to me for 4 bucks by M2 Machines

And a 65 Ford Econoline Delivery Van also by M2 Machines

There was some other stuff but those were the cream of the crop.

That's quite a lot die-cast! Shipping them in one lot would be costly, and likely would disinterest many potential buyers. If you're bound and determined to sell the entire lot in one go, selling them locally is your best bet. One other option is to divide them into a few groups (by brand, older pieces, and those that have obvious damaged or missing parts) and sell off those lots. As Willy said, you'll maximize return by selling nicer ones individually and the rest in lots. Good luck with the sale!

I'd love to see if you have any Camaro's. My collection is growing, but i've barely scratched the surface of what's out there...

here’s a gen 2 from my sons collection - it’s in the lot!

Hot!!!

Yup mate, with the condition they are all in, you've easily doubled your value.
Scratch off what I said about the displays, wrong ones.
Keep the ones in the organizers, I think you'd do better considering the way everything is laid out.
Going by lots of 10 cars, I'd say $20-$25, plus shipping.
Packing everything into one bundle, you'd return far less, especially with shipping costs.
Hope that helps!

She's a greenie mate? Or M2?

[Just Plain Dave]

I would gladly pay $30 if I could pick 10 out of that mess.

[Just Plain Dave]

In fact I will send a $50 for the container with pickup trucks in it.

[Just Plain Dave]

$60 is my final offer on the container with pickup trucks in it.

Got some stuff Today.
Only thing not pictured is a 70 Datsun 510 by M2 Machines

[Just Plain Dave]

A Dodge Viper would probably NEVER have wire wheels.
But it had two color boring wheels and these were available so here it is.

[Just Plain Dave]

Some of my latest disasters
The wheels had two different colors so now black on a Dark Metal Metallic painted body.

A formerly decorated VW with different wheels

Siku made these VW T3 Transporters as a promo for Stihl in the early '80s. They aren't common, and people ask a lot. Just a couple months back, I noticed one that had sold for $100; but it was the first mint one with the Stihl box that I had seen.


This one I bought earlier in the year for about $10. A little bit of playwear, but nothing too noticeable. Decided to bring it out while doing some yardwork.
