The initial set of Vans that has created this thread really need to stay together as intended from the factory, so please try and keep them together as one lot if they do have to go to ebay.

I totally agree with Idris .Please take note of what he has to say .This is a difficult one.I know there may be a matter of urgency in the need to dispose of these items but it would be better in the long run to maybe except them as a gift....Keep them safe and take your time .There not going anywhere.......Time is a great decider.
Heres the man with the bargains.Always open to offers from this sites members..http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/misterpop/m.h ... m=&_ipg=25

I'm damned if I'd risk thousands of pounds worth of rare models with the sharks on E-Bay. Use a reputable auction house, much safer.

If I thought it would help I can put you in touch with the Chairman of the Dinky Toys Collectors Association but feel he will give pretty much the same advice the members here have done already!

Strange that he didn't think to advertise the auction here on the Forum - he might have got even more for it!
