Snap On Tools Promotional Models - Valuation's ??

[fred]

Probably in the wrong thread area, if so please kick it into its rightful slot!

Been asked last week to sell a good friends collection of Snap on tools promo models
He has been in the garage trade for as long as Ive known him, which goes back to the 80's
He has decided to shift a lot of models, most of which I have sold on via fleabay,
I have bought and sold old/new Corgi etc.. For years
But these are a specialist area, I know some of them command a decent amount, but
I really don't know how much to pitch some of these at. Got two as a 'test the water'
on the Bay right now but no bites as yet.
So if you collect these or know owt about them, anything would be useful!

PICS!!

















Obviously the tools have been taken out the packaging, all look Mint apart from the Peterbilt truck who's bumper needs sticking back on.

I know a fair bit about these Fred. They are a typical 'Collectors Giveaway' Worth a tenner as a novelty to one man, and £50+ to someone that is looking for that particular model. The stories of them going for 100's are either just stories OR more likely, you WILL come across a mug occasionally. I have a collection of something totally unrelated I am selling at present - worth nothing to one man, priceless to another. What I have done is value them all at X price and invited people on associated sites to email me what they want. I am just happy that pure strangers are getting something they desire for a fair price rather than trying to make a few quid but thats just me.

If the 34 is going for £20, I'll take it. (Would love a flamed 34!)

I have seen certain ones hit the high £80's but like you say one mans novelty is another mans treasure
Left to me, I would put them all up on Fleabay at 99p start and let them find their own price.
But they are not mine, so I cant. As for £20,
You have a PM!

I would normally take offers - but as I have a right arm right now - I will have to decline

Thanks for the kind words mate
