    Price depends on who see's them. I sold my brother-in-law about 30 cars a few years back for $20 each. Some of the ones you've listed are worth 5 times that. I know, I had them all except the first 5!:( Check e-bay, that will give you an idea.

    I was up to about 600+ before I finally kicked the habit !! :laugh: LOL
    Also had other manufacturers 1:18 scale diecasts, and they can be quite addictive, so consider this a "heads up". :Do No:
    You also need ample space, and dust free, illuminated cabinets to display them properly ! :TU:

    Most of them will have an average price of around $35/$40. Some of them you have listed are close to the 3 digit mark. Most are $35/$40 and some you may have to let go for $20/$25. The market is not the greatest right now. If you don't need to sell now, I would hold off until colder weather. More people will be "Surfing" the net once the cold weather sets in. (More buyers)
    Especially if you place them on E-Bay. More buyers means more bidders which usually means more money!

    Be sure to stress they're un-opened. (NIB)
    That will perk the interest of the serious collectors.

    I don't think you get there but should be close on the 2) 1970 Chevelles and the White 1967 Corvette. The Corvette has a better chance than the Chevelles. (IF it's stock # is 7491 and it's the convertible version) They also did a hardtop version but that isn't worth as much.

    If I remember correctly the Orange 1970 Chevelle was produced for Toys R Us and is tough to find now days. That one will probably fetch more than the Yellow version.

    Hope this helps.

    I might like to have the 69 Oldsmobile 442 W-30 – Silver and the 70 Dodge Challenger T/A – Plum if the price is acceptable.

    Mike,

    I really didn't post the list to try to sell them here, just a little guidance. I think once you add shipping to the price it gets a little rediculous...
