@Mallard4468  ... Major score on the Robilt !  @ 20US per ... you could probably buy one end flap off the boxes !

Listed here on ePay or similar you would make a considerable profit!

The most common is the plain wagon "Open Truck" and mint in box you are probably talking a min of $150AUD

The Brake Van would be higher than that

and the Peters Ice Cream is considered the MOST collectible of the commoner 4 wheel variants  and I couldnt put a valid price on it, as I haven't seen a NIB example sell in a looong time ...  but conservatively its well into three figures . Even ratty examples ( and I mean RATTY !!!) sell for $100+

Most Robilt was painted with regular paint and had no real primer coat , so they tended to chip and flake easily ... most pristine examples are repaints , but yours having the boxes amply demonstrates this is not the case ....I would hate to think of undervaluing it so lets just say ...you have tenfolded your investment in the open wagon and brake vans ... and in reality only the market on the day will determine the end point of the Peters wagon

What you have are truly Museum Quality examples   if I made that score I think I could safely say I had used up all my collectors karma at once and would never find a cheap loco again .

Probably also important to say that is LOCAL value here ...where there is a strong collector base for Robilt .... in the USA or many other countries they would never have been heard of , and consequently vastly undervalued ... which is why you got them for $20 each lol ... so resale in the US who knows ? but here in Aussie... you have the cream of the crop once in a lifetime find .

(oh and Buco .. I live in the arse end of nowhere lol .. but if you wanted to meet socially for a lunch or summat in a bigger locale say , we could probably do that )
