TRAINS - Who needs Thomas?

[mjm579]

Terrible pic - hope to add more soon.

$25 - two 1776 Spirit of Liberty Tyco engines, three 1776 Liberty cabooses, eight or so vintage life like kits (quarry, shanty, stock pen, engine house...), at least five varied Cox rail cars (Army, Champion, a crane, ...).

Can't remember them all at the moment. On my way to the beach for some fishing fun with the family.

Also, hubby was pretty happy about the DeWalt saws-all (?sp.?) for $5. No battery, but he already had one.

I would guess you have several hundred dollars in trains there. Nice find.

I'm hoping they net me at least a $200 profit.

Nice buys. Thanks for sharing...

I sell Tyco cars in original boxes for $5 to $6 at the flea market, and they quickly at those prices. I average $25 to $45 for engines, but I typically am in the $25 to $35 range to sell them fast.

Your cars look exceptionally clean, in nice boxes.

The advertising cars tend to do better on ebay, like the Champion car.

By the way, if you didn't know, those Tyco and Cox cars are from the 1970's.

Some dude at the flea market has a box of junk Tyco for sale with a note that says "Vintage trains from the 1950's."

Thanks for the information. I'm no train buff, I just pick stuff up if it looks to be a good buy. I'm hoping to get this listed tonight or tomorrow. I might be back in touch if I have a question.

Way overpaid! Price tag says 19c! Just kidding. Cool trains!

I know. It's fascinating to see how prices have changed.
