Hello Neil.

The best advice for you is to look at the same models on ebay. This will give you an idea of what is selling and at what prices and the models that are not selling probably because the Yesteryear collectors already have them in their collections.

If you are not keen on selling them here or on ebay yourself, you could book a table at your nearest toy fair or car boot sale and see how they sell.

If you decide to try and sell them here, we will need good clear pictures of each model you have, how many examples of that model and a price you are comfortable with.

Thank you for that, gives me some idea of a way forward,
they are an inheritance, and not our thing really. ill start with
ebay and go from there, thank you

If common versions of the models, around £1.50-£2 each realistically. Job lots this size usually work out at about that.

Bob is correct. The supply of Yesteryears exceeds the demand. I have seen fairly priced Yesteryears languish on eBay for months. Considering those two factors, plus eBay fees, listing them here is worth at least considering.
