Collection Value? Stompers, Shell Wrecker and Service sign plus more!

[keith parlich]

Sorry to repost but I'm not good with technology I somehow deleted this area in my last post. I'm the original owner of all the items in the pictures. I worked part time at a Toys R Us after high school in 1986 and purchased all of the items
most of them came from opened boxes or items that were returned the manager of the store new i loved slot cars and gave me great deals on them. All of them work just like they did back then I really never played with them that much I have hundreds of regular slot cars. I am going to sell all of it together if you look on line the prices are all over the board so this website looks like the place to get some honest opinions on the value. I would first and foremost like someone to enjoy them because they don't make toys like this anymore. I have a bunch of misc parts that are not included in the pictures. If you're like me and not good with computers I'll leave my phone number below just call me. Thank you very much.

The pup trailers with the containers are AFX Big Ryder, not US 1. But they are a nice piece. Do you want us to estimate the value for you, or make you an offer to buy them?

Are you selling any of it? The most desirable piece is the Shell Road Service Sign Sign, the Stompers, Shell Wrecker and Disabled Firebird, Shell Garage. The Department of Highways gets a lot of attention too.

Regarding value, prices are all over the place and peak at Christmas. Search for the item on ebay, and then check the option for SOLD/COMPLETED AUCTIONS. This tells you what people are actually paying! Also, use https://www.worthpoint.com/

Yes I am going to sell everything I just wanted to get a couple peoples opinions on the value . I am a very fair person and would like to sell it to someone who will enjoy it and not buy it and sell it again, that's why I wanted a couple opinions on the value. With that being said what would your offer be?

The top dollar always happens on ebay. I'd recommend breaking up the set as well, you will get more money than selling as a collection. Just the shell sign could bring 100-200.

You could package the Shell Station, Wrecker, Disabled Firebird And sign and could very well do 500++ Especially at Christmas!

That’s an easy $2,000 to $2,500 group of stuff. The 3443 Phone Booth can fetch $3-400 alone. The Stomper trucks can bring $200+, the 3444 Wrecker set can bring $250 easy. The tune up cards bring around $75 to $100. The Borden’s and DuPont can be $75+.

Unfortunately, if you list that all together it may take a while to sell at $2,000+, where if you broke it up you’ll sell the rare stuff fast and possibly be left with stuff that won’t sell unless you bottom dollar it.

If I didn’t have 5 of everything I’d entertain an offer, but I’m downsizing my own stuff and just don’t need any more..
