do i sell my diecast cars or keep them

[X000BOSS]

im tidying up here and ive got a good collection of biante and carlectable model cars. all larger sizes. i dont own too many, just about a dozen cars but there all pretty much sort after. eg, gtho, holden sandman etc etc. i know the prices are good at the moment. my thoughts are will they increase in value?? i dont need to sell them but im not really enjoying them either. so if it looks they will be worth more later, ill hold on to them and hope the kids dont destroy them one day.

Depends what the wife says...

why sell them?
you still like them so buy a nice kid-proof case and get that mrs a new duster

i think you answered your own question. sell them, collect something you do enjoy.

They'll always go up in price, slowly but surely, even if they take a backwards step now and again.

If you don't need to sell them id keep them.

Or leave them out the front footpath so some kid can pick them up and enjoy them ... or what day's garbage pick up in your area?

what do you mean by "not enjoying them"
silly question, i know, but short of pushing them around like a kid would, i am not sure how you would enjoy them
i would suggest to pick a place to display them, find an appropriate case/cabinet and display them

i had thousands of dollars worth hidden away for years (over 10) until i had something to display them in
now they are on display, i hardly notice them but i sure am glad they are there

unless you can get a substantial sum for them, they are probably not worth selling - i personally would think selling a couple of big dollar cars and ending up with 3-4 i couldn't move wouldn't be a good option

Depends what you have. If you have a few that I want, I reckon you should sell them. If you have nothing I want, you should probably keep a hold of them.

[DJM83]

Yeah if we knew what you had, you may be able to off load some.

If you decide to sell them put up a list of what you have along with pics and prices.

That is what the For Sale section is for

If you are no longer getting enjoyment from them, then I say sell them.

I am in the same situation. I have a few 1:18 and a few 1:43, and used to like them, but now I just think, yeah, they sit there and do nothing. On display or in there boxes, they do nothing! Wish I never bought them now. I would rather put the money to a real car rather than this "hobby". As for holding on to them to sell for more money later? I don't know, they make so many of them these days and just paint them a different colour, I think everyone is holding onto them in the hope of getting more money. Factor in inflation, they probably are never going to be something you will retire off? Just my thought on it.
