Model car kit values

[GrUmPyBoDgEr]

Hi,
I've got a few model car kits that I will never build now because the old mince pies are no longer up to it.
So I was wondering if anyone knows what they would be worth?
Here goes:-

GUNZE SANGYO 1/24 scale
Lotus Elan S3
Lotus Elan S3 High Tech
Lotus Elan S3 High Tech BRM

("High Tech" includes metal parts i.e. engine; sheetmetal chassis etc.)


Tamiya
Lotus Super 7 S2 1/24 scale
Lotus 25 1/20 scale
Lotus 49 1/12 scale

All are in original boxes, unbuilt & no missing parts.
(The above descriptions are what it says on the box)

Thanks for any help
Cheers
John

The Tamiya 49 is about ?60, Gunze Elan S3 ?15 (green car??) and the high tech something like ?30 - ?40 last time I saw one on eBay (yellow fhc??) I haven't seen the BRM one before....and that's the one I'm interested in John!!

If in doubt, eBay will find the price out for you, but if you put the BRM on let me know 'cos I'll bid.

Cheers...Mark

Just as a bit of additional information, some photos of the kit boxes.
I've bought from ebay before but never sold, so I don't think I will use that route

Hi again

I have a collection of kits and would advise as follows:-

7 and ordinary Elan S3 about ?10-15
25 about ?20
Hi tech S3 ?45 this one pictured is not as desirable as the one which includes the engine.
The 49 about ?50-?60.
BRM Elan is rare and do not often come up on e-bay but strangely one just has and sold for about ?120

The cost of shipping always seems high from Germany so you might just struggle for those prices for all of them except the BRM as they are available from other countries with lesser postal costs. The BRM will sell well anyway.

Thanks, some iteresting information there Kim.

These kits do not weigh much so postage from Germany to anywhere in Europe would be very reasonable but would have to go on top of the selling price.

Cheers

It just goes to show, another BRM Elan kit sold on e-bay tonight at just ?27.00! form Germany. Advert was in German so a few buyers might have missed the point!

What a bargain, not typical!
