| 1642.1 | Matchbox cars | KERNEL::SHELLEYR | Looks like he hit the tree Jim | Wed Feb 05 1992 13:08 | 13 | 
|  |     As the result of a discussion in the BASINGSTOKE notes conference, I've
    discovered I have a valuable collection of toy cars.
    I'm particularly interested in getting an idea of the worth of mint
    condition/boxed Matchbox cars from 1965ish to 1972 as I have about
    40 of the things.
    If anyone knows about this (specifically Matchbox) I can mail you the
    full list including model numbers.
    Cheers
    Roy

| 1642.2 | Any Help ??? | COMICS::COOMBER | Inverted Flight Expert | Wed Feb 05 1992 13:46 | 11 | 
|  |     I know very little about Matchbox cars but I do know that if buy one of
    the collector magazines your will get an idea of what they are worth.
    
    A word of warning, big advert collectors are the sort of people that
    don't give the real value, They give you what sounds nice but often
    that is a lot less than you could really get. Alternativly  there is a 
    vaulation book you can buy for matchbox cars. Cost lots but if you know
    someon it's worth taking a peek.

| 1642.3 | I know a dealer (friendly!) | VOGON::KAPPLER | Spontaneity is fine in it's place.... | Thu Feb 06 1992 09:18 | 6 | 
|  |     You can mail me a copy of the list and I'll ask my friendly model
    dealer to value it.
    
    Might take a week or two.
