A guy near me is selling trains his grandad gave him 40 years ago, he's asking for offers above $500. He says they've never been used.

I'm just curious what you guys think the actual value of these trains is, I couldn't find any of the models online with their original packaging.

(sorry if this isn't the correct place for this, I couldn't find any other site/sub section more fitting)

I can only give an NZD price, but I would think $500 in any currency is asking too much, if it is for what is being shown in these pictures.

The little steam engine (Marklin 3000) is worth about $30 to $40 (Marklin have made over 5 million of these, so they aren't rare).

The coaches are worth around $40 each, and the electric loco (Marklin 3041) is worth around $150.

So, that's about $300 for the lot.

Thanks for the reply, I was honestly just curious. I dont think he priced them at all, just picked a number. Don't have a lot of collectable trains around this area :)

Don't forget Steven that Kolls is price for items in mint or exc condition including packaging which these items are not. Better photos of them from all sides would be needed to determine condition, maybe only the boxes are worn, the items could be as new.

The Oz & NZ markets won't support anywhere near the 4063 value and international postage costs makes them less attractive. The other items you quote are actually not far off what they would be in $AU / NZ, perhaps a little more, (half as much again at the most I would suggest).

Some local (Australasia) members may be interested in them, eBay would quickly settle their value on the day, there are quite a few enthusiast's in oz.

Cheers

Could we have this thread re-named so I don't have to open it every day to remind myself what it's about?

"Unknown" is not a great name for a topic....
