Default Diecast Car Collection for Sale

For sale is a diecast car collection put together by my father over a couple of decades. Most of the cars are 1:18 scale, there are about eight at 1:12 and 20+ at 1:24.

The collection consists of more than 230 cars and is worth well over $40,000.
Selling for $24,000.

We have boxes for almost all of the cars.
The cars and boxes are in excellent condition.
The cars have been displayed dust free and untouched in the cases.

About 15 or so are Franklin Mint cars.

There are probably 40 or so Corvettes in the collection.

We are looking to sell the entire collection including the display cases and lights.

Send a PM or call if you are interested. The collection is in the St. Louis area.

Moving to Memorabilia section.

Scott, you need to post an asking price for the lot, thanks.

Good luck with the sale! As a serious diecast collector I can say there are some rare and hard to find models. Wish I could afford it!

My Dad put a lot of time into the collection. Not as much as he did on his '58 but he loved it.

We are hoping to sell the entire collection. But it is a big price tag and we can likely make more selling the cars in smaller batches or individually; that's a lot more work researching, listing for sale and shipping them all.

Here is a link to pictures of the entire collection. Because the cases have mirrors, the photos have some issues. All of the cars are shown but not all of the boxes.

Would you sell these individually? I see several I would like prices on. I realize that this might be a pita for you to do though.

Right now we are trying to sell the whole collection. Trying to price every car will take a lot of time and that's why we are looking for one buyer.
If we decide to break up the collection, I'll let you know.

Thank you! I just reached out to them. Turns out my father was one of their customers. I'll see what comes of this.
