I am parting with around 300 of these regular wheels, all mint and boxed. If you are looking for something in particular, let me know. I'd much rather sell directly to collectors on a site like this.
this group has a lot of North American members - you cant sell on it but you should join,and after sharing a photos for a week or so and making posts, ask the members to suggest the best FB groups to sell through. You have common variations so it about finding deep pocket collectors who are not yet deeply into Lesneys so these general groups are good starting points

One cannot do much with all the monies in this world but can do much more if he strives toward contentment.

I'm not ready to cast out bargains. The proceeds from my sale are going into buying a classic Jag, or maybe a Lotus Exige.
I'm sure all of you can get behind that, so accept my prices and start buying!

Real cars v toys is the same difference as a real loving woman v porno movie. However I already have enough classic 1:1 but maybe you dont although there is a lot of difference between a Lotus and a Jag. If I had time for another 1:1 it would be either a Rover P6 or a Mini mk1 or mk2 - classic cars are like choosing dogs i think,I recognise the right car as the right car for me if I see it!
Your prices are cool enough, my advise would be to stick em on ebay. I know that it will cost, but there you also get the "real market price". I have often put up stuff here that hat no takers for a fix price and then sold it on ebay for twice as much. My BPW esso tanker under Dr jazz sales was on here for 35£ incl shipping. Sold on ebay for 59£ plus shippping. I have many of those excamles. So I recommend to stay on fee bay. It is true as a US seller less europeans will bid due to custom, but there is enough collectors in US
Btw lovly models you have and for the car 1:1 you must take a Lotus good luck
I can only repeat what Jazz has said, I have found few buyers here on the site and ebay will earn you far more.
I think my prices are reasonable but most of the members will already have the models that I have listed http://www.vintagebritishdiecasts.co.uk ... ion=recent
1:1 car...Its got to be a Jaguar, no retail value in a Lotus (remember what LOTUS actually means...LOTS OF TROUBLE, USUALLY SERIOUS), and you will need a computer to service it yourself, poor tickover and poor performance will likely be a replacement coil-pack and you can't really tinker with much unless you re-map the engine managment system.
