Selling a big collection? I'll come to you.
For collections worth $10,000 or more, I travel to you anywhere in the US and pay cash or by wire on the spot. Nothing has to go in the mail.
I buy from individual sellers, estates and collectors. For whole collections I pay 75 to 80% of market value, and collections I've bought have ranged from $500 to $100,000.

Four steps. No packing tape.

Keep it together
Don't sell off a few of the best cars first. Rare cars hide in ordinary-looking piles, and a whole collection is easier to value as one.

Take a few photos
Lay everything out and photograph it, a table at a time if it won't fit in one shot. Add close-ups of the best cars and anything still sealed.

Get paid
For $10,000 and up, I come to you anywhere in the US and pay cash or by wire on the spot. Under that, you're paid up front by PayPal or Venmo and ship with postage and insurance included.
Settling an estate?
You don't need to know what's in the boxes. Lay it out, take the photos, and I'll make an offer on the whole collection.
I started collecting Redlines with my dad. Since he passed I carry his memory with me with every collection I buy, so I know these cars can mean a lot to a family.

Loose Redlines, sealed blister packs, sealed track sets, Rrrumblers, Chopcycles and Johnny Lightning, through 1976.

More on selling a large collection.
For whole collections I pay 75 to 80% of market value.
A typical collection is about 40 cars, and most sellers get $1,500 to $5,000. Collections I've bought have ranged from $500 to $100,000.
Most sellers (about 95%) are paid up front by PayPal or Venmo, before they ship anything. You see the money first.
If you'd rather be paid another way, I pay the same day your cars are delivered.
For collections of $10,000 and up, I come to you and pay cash or by wire transfer on the spot, whichever you prefer.
I buy vintage toys from 1968 through 1976:
- Loose Redline Hot Wheels, played-with or clean.
- Sealed blister packs.
- Sealed track sets.
- Rrrumblers and Chopcycles.
- Johnny Lightning cars.
Some 1977 cars still came with red stripes, and I buy those. Their bases are dated 1976 or earlier.
I don't buy NASCAR, Treasure Hunts, cases, blackwalls (plain black tires, 1977 and later), or anything from the 1980s or newer.
