Very large collection

[Steveward]

Not a car I know but a nice bit of kit

This guy had an eye for some great models. This is another wonderful item.

We are very glad you enjoy them the only thing that puzzles me how can a person buy so many you see he never drove a car he got about on the bus and a little 50cc Honda till he hit a tractor on it.
A lot of you are asking what will become of this collection to be honest with you I'm not 100% sure I do need advice on the value.
Him self and his sister are happy to let me take control of this but I need to get help from this site if you see anything that needs looking into with more detail ie colour I can take them out the boxes.
His sister said she is happy to let me have the collection for helping the family over the years so in a nut shell certain items I will sell on to help the individual build up there collection so if you do see anything you need please let me know the wife would love the space back and I will love my garage back at some point.
Thanks Steve

Couple of things. the car ferry sets don't have the correct models with them in the photos, if the correct models are in the collection I would consider reuniting them with the sets for achieving the best price. Also you mention about getting the space back in your garage, this time of year garages tend to be very cold and I would be somewhat concerned about any possible reaction to models and boxes from prolonged exposure to different temperatures, ideally in a house where the temperature is constant is best, hope this helps.

Because of the size of the collection I am tempted to say get a professional model expert valuer or a known respectable toy dealer. There are members here who could recommend a dealer or even point you in the direction of somebody like Vectis Actions who specialise in toys and models, but these will value the collection to their benefit, not yours, so you won't get the best prices.

Any of this information transfering must be done through our Private Messaging system, OK.

Hi ye thanks for that info it's still early days yet regarding price I still have a large amount still to get round.
Regarding the garage it's a brick built double skin with insulation and I do have heating in there also so it's kept warm through the cold months.
I do intend racking out the spare room I have to get most in there.
Thanks Steve

Got another bag to sort well a few to be honest but this is some matchbox stuff in one bag

[Steveward]

Hi all sorting through the matchbox stuff can you tell me why these boxes differ from the others are they more recent models ? The content in the box is stamped on the end of the box

[Steveward]
