Thinning down an entire slot collection can be very daunting. We've seen collections ranging into the thousands. That's a lot of cars to sort through.

First steps are to try to sort them into various brands. The main ones are Scalextric, Carrera FlySlot, PinkKar, Revell, SlotIt, Ninco, SCX, MRRC, ProSLot, AutoArt, Avant Slot but there are many many more.
Next step is to check them for completeness and if they work. To do this you can either set up a test track or touch a 9 volt battery to the braids.
You've then got choices, you can sell everything separately, or bundle it by brand.
If selling in a bundle the price achieved will be lower, if selling individually, there will always be something (or lots of somethings) left over, plus the trips to the post office. Pros and cons to consider here.
As a rough guide if selling in bundles for an unboxed car, the usual price will be around £5-7 going up if lots of them are rare or desirable, possibly to around £10-15. Typically the bigger the bundle the lower the number.
For boxed cars anywhere from £15 to 40 depending again on the desirability or scarcity of the models.
If selling singularly, then research of each model is required because some can (and have reached) several hundred pounds.
