Hi, I have recently recieved many old slot cars that I would like to sell on eBay! I really have no idea what they are worth though. I do not know much about cars either so if there not labeled I don't really even know what they are. The only one I could find to be worth something was my 1/32 Monogram Lotus 33 F1 Slot Car which i put on eBay. The rest i have not been able to find any information on.
If anyone can tell me what any of these would be worth, I would sure appreciate it.

To me that's the beauty of e-bay. You don't have to know the value, just start the auctions a $.01 and see what they are worth. You would have to know what they are though so you can describe them accurately. I am not BSn you. I start most of my auctions at $.01 with no reserve, and do quite well. My e-bay seller name is micyou3 if you want to check.

Yea I see what you are saying but if theses cars are not worth much I will just put them in one sale all together. Whereas that one slot car I had it was better to sell it alone. Also if anyone can tell me what model car some of those are that would be helpful.

The olive green car would have been the best (Cox, LaCucaracha) but it's been hacked to death (common problem) but if it has the correct chassis, will still bring some money. The Baby blue #3 car appears to be K&B Chapparrel....as I mentioned in another thread, while not fast I like the way these chassis handles but each car should bring about $50~60 reasonably complete..one for the chassis only, one for the complete car.

I'm interested in a couple of them...are you looking for anything in trade?

Or I'm willing to buy as well.
