    • I'm guessing they are all Die Cast - metal.
    • • And sized at about 12 to 15 inches.
      
      
    • Possibly plastic which would make them much less valuable.
    In other words, vary tremendously based on maker, Hubley being one of the tops. Franklin Mint OK. And about 50 other places they could have been made.
• My advice. If you really love them as much as I do - go for a bunch of them at, of course, a nice discount. IF THEY ARE DIE CAST 10 to 15 inches, in decent condition I personally would grab them all for ten bucks each.

• Sadly, I will say they may not still be there. But I'll cheer for you to get there on time.

 

Hey thanks a lot guys. By the way what are the factors that make them expensive. is it the ratio or the condition. Any good auction sites to buy some of these other than ebay. maybe having a good collection?

 

By the way guys il try to put a visit and get the back of the images to see whats the models or make are? So i might be able to put the pictures of it

 

unless u can identify the really good ones....I'd pass

 

Mariyan, first, let us know if there are any left at the sale. I'd be surprised if they are metal - die cast. It seems to me they are. But I've only been wrong twice today, so I have a few more left.
I cannot give you all the names of makers. Not enough room. Best and quickest research is on eBay. Probably a few thousand of them, all makes, sizes, materials, vintages, etc., etc., etc. Check offers and then sales only. When you get an idea what you like best use advanced search.

I didn't pay close attention at first and thought you were a guy. So figured you would have bought some at first chance. Gals don't quite react that way with model cars.

Either way, maybe grab a few if there and check their record on eBay. IMHO you would make a profit if you bought a bunch at a low price.

BTW, davey, just noticed your sig. Best one on the antiquers. By far. And, BTW, how long has she been there?

 

IIRC some of these models are exact replicas, IOW, the scale/proportions is the same as the real car except smaller. Those, I think are worth more than the die cast ones, but then Dinky toys, Matchbook cars and Hot Wheels all have their own following.

 

Hey thanks a lot people. il try to get the backs of it. Well i think they'll still be there. Well the location is on the way to my office. off the main road. if some one really wants to come here. they will come. if not they won't. anyway il get you the backs and makes of these models. So in summary you guys say if they are Die cast worth buying right?? or Hubly too

 

I think the blue and green ones above are 1930s Packards. ebay ----

Guys i purchased some. further there were some other models. I took some pics. Do not know the background of these models. pls advise if you people are familar with these.

 

This one is a rio model. make is italy. anyone familiar.

 

Hey thanks a lot dave. i bought them for $20 each the rio ones. seems bit expensive na. By the way there were some other ones i bought. any idea about those?

 

The small car attached in the last pic of mine. lack the finer details. it was around $10. is it a modern remake?

 

The red one is an MG I think; made by Majorette of France. No idea of age or value though.
