I asked a while back about selling my 1:43 model car collection, and got several useful replies, however I wasn't 100% certain at the time if I wanted to sell them or not. Well I have finally come to the decision that it is time to sell them. The majority of them are Minichamps, with a few AutoArt, Norev and some others there too. My issue is how to go about selling them, and getting the most I can for them.

How can I find out how much they are worth? and where should I go to sell them, ebay, try some forums?? I have also put a similar post on Scale143 asking for advice as recommend by someone on here.

If anyone would like a comprehensive list of the cars (about 40) then please PM me.

Thanks
Tom

Ebay; if there's anything you're unsure of put a reserve price on it but take good quality photos and list a detailed advert.

I'm often surprised by how much some models make on there, often more than current models are available for brand new.

I know this is the obvious answer but it will give you the biggest market.

I offered a slightly broken 1/24 F40 FOC on here a bit ago and nobody wanted it, are you sure there's a market.

Thanks guys, next month when I've got more time I'll put them up on eBay. I asked on other forums too and was given some useful advice there too.

Was it a Bburago model? If it was ( No offence intended ) , they are a crappy budget maker.

The stuff the OP is selling are by the best in the diecast market and will sell.
