$75.00 each with free shipping and let me know when you go to list them
No really, I am a fan of the auction, but watch the five free listing fees, etc. I know there are members here that list more than I and they are aware of the fee structures more than I, but I think that BIN has a higher fee structure than a straight auction. Something to look into......

i don't know that i'd put buy it nows on them. Just let them get bid up.
I"d also wait a month or two. People are broke right now, after christmas. You'll most likely get a lot more for them if you wait a bit.
And list them individually and just a few at a time. You may get the same people bidding on multiple items that way.

Like the others have said you need to break them up.turkish1 wrote:Asking $2500 for my collection...for All....no specific offers pls..
There was a guy a while ago trying to sell his large collection and it never sold after about 3 attemps.
You may get lucky but in todays market selling that collection may be tough.

Those are some good planes and helos, but in todays market, I don't see a lot like this going for what you are asking. But that is just my opinion. I do agree that you would get the best results by busting them up and selling individually, because finding one person that wants all of these birds at the premium price will be a rare find. Finding one person per item to pay a premium for that item is much more likely.turkish1 wrote:Asking $2500 for my collection...for All....no specific offers pls..
Having experience in selling both as a lot and individually on ebay, I would think that (optimistically) you would get $1,730 for all that as a lot. Also, those prices would be boxed and in mint condition versions if you sold those pieces individually on Ebay.
As a lot, perhaps $1,200. People are just not paying high prices right now.
Unfortunately, you would also have to take heat on the shipping charges and the Ebay and Paypal fees will cost you close to $240-$260 from the $1,730 figure and about $175 from the $1,200 figure.
I am just calling it like I see it and I am being ,both, realistic and optimistic. I know as I had recently sold many of these same pieces. Unfortunately, I just do not see how you would come close to $2,000 for all of this combined IMHO. Good luck though.
All-be-said, if you had purchased all of this new when it came out, you would have roughly paid $850 for all of your pieces combined. After fees on ebay, you would still profit about $300-$650 by hanging onto them for this long.
