Check out my thoughts on this subject here: https://www.warrenvillerailroa...our-toy-trains-worth
I'm also inviting you to provide me with your thoughts on this subject. Your input might be added to this blog post in the near future.
Thanks

Liked your blog post and agree with most of it. And "I can't sell it for that - I have more in it" always elicits a chuckle, but that attitude is all too common.

Just a couple of additions... First, if someone is searching ebay for rare items or obscure variations, they really need to do their homework to avoid fakes. I'm not into rarity, but if I was, I would probably stick with buying in person from people I know, or at least asking for unbiased knowledgeable help at a TCA meet. Second, my experience with for-sale listings in the TCA and LCCA publications is that the asking prices are generally wildly optimistic.
