Thinking of selling off my Porsche Car Collection

I can post pics but was wondering if I should piece them out or sell as a lot? I have over 360 various Porsches from Hot Wheels, Johnny Lightning, Matchbox to other not so well known. It is actually a pretty diverse collection.

Not looking to make this a huge project, I really don't want to spend months shipping cars around the world. I'm not even sure how to price the total collection out.

ideas?

It might be worth looking up each item on eBay. If there are a few pieces that are above a certain price that will make it worthwhile for you to ship individually, take the time to advertise them individually. The rest can be sold as a lot.

Well, there is a market just not sure how best to price it. As the ol saying goes, something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

Assign the project to your son. He's an industrious type - he'll figure out a way to maximize profits from the liquidation.

I have a very similar but quite a bit smaller collection. I would think there is some good value in a collection that size! Very nice!

Likely selling it as a whole won't get as much money. I like Mark's idea of getting your son involved; maybe tell him you'll give him 25% of whatever it sells for?

Well, I was going to say 40%, but you need to start low, it's an negotiation after all.

Seriously, you need to sell big ticket ones separately and then the rest however you find easiest.
