I have a collection of sixteen different cars that were produced as part of this series by Matchbox in the 1960s.

I'm looking for advice on how to sell them, please; any suggestions (or even offers!) will be appreciated.

Thank you; if you have any questions, please let me know.

In terms of values it would depend very much on what individual models you have and the condition of them and their boxes, if they are boxed of course. If you PM me with a list I could give you a rough idea of realistic valuations. I find people tend to think any old matchbox will be worth more than they actually are. In terms of where to sell them that could be tricky. Obviously there's eBay and the like but they are usually awash with models of this type. Sadly most matchbox dealers won't really give you a decent price as they can be hard to shift. Just go to any swap meet/toyfair and you'll see a lot of them for sale as they have a pretty niche market. I am a Matchbox collector and they are certainly not on my radar.
