Advice Needed Please

Post by Rusty » Tue Jun 27, 2017 5:49 am

My Dad has a collection of around 180 1:43 F1 cars. Quite a few of them are Onyx but there are also Minichamps, Brumm, a few Corgi and some Italian and Chinese brands I can't recall. A lot of them are probably about 20 years old and in good condition but the bad news is that I don't think we have any of the boxes so they are all just loose.

My Dad is unfortunately in full time care now and a friend of the family would like to buy the collection. Do you have any suggestions on how to get to a fair average UK value for each car? I've looked on eBay and some appear to be listed for quite a bit but they're all boxed so not a fair comparison.

Any advice appreciated,
Thanks.

Hi, welcome to DS. My advice, search on ebay for "past" sales on your particular model. Though keep in mind the value of each car is what someone is willing to pay now, patience is key, as some just won't sell today. Good luck
