Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What diecast airplane brands are most valuable?

Hobby Master, Corgi Aviation Archive, and Century Wings consistently hold the highest values — especially limited edition and discontinued models. Dragon Wings has become increasingly collectible since production ended. WWII-era fighters and rare airline liveries from any manufacturer can also command premium prices.

Do you buy 1:400 scale airline models?

Yes, we buy diecast aircraft in all scales including 1:400, 1:200, 1:72, 1:48, and 1:32. Whether you have Gemini Jets 1:400 airliners or Hobby Master 1:72 military jets, we're interested.

I inherited a collection of model airplanes. Where do I start?

Send us photos of what you have — even a few overview shots of shelves or boxes. We'll identify the brands, scales, and approximate values, then make a no-obligation cash offer. You don't need to know anything about diecast aircraft.

Does the original box affect the value?

Yes, significantly. Original packaging generally increases the value of diecast aircraft by 30–50%, sometimes more. Models that are mint-in-box with all original inserts and paperwork command the highest prices. We buy models with or without boxes.

Do you offer appraisals?

We don't provide formal appraisals or market valuations. What we offer is a free, no-obligation buy quote — we'll review your collection and tell you what we can offer for it. If you need a formal appraisal for insurance or estate purposes, we'd recommend contacting a certified appraiser.

How long does the process take?

Most sellers have a cash offer within 1–3 business days of sending photos. Once you accept, we typically schedule pickup within a few days. From first contact to cash in hand usually takes less than a week.

Why sell to you instead of listing on eBay?

Selling a collection on eBay means photographing, listing, and shipping items individually — plus 12–15% in fees, returns, and non-paying buyers. For a large collection that's months of part-time work. When you sell to us, you get one cash offer for everything, we pick it up, and you're done.

Can I sell part of my collection and keep some items?

Absolutely. Many sellers want to hold onto a few pieces. Just let us know what you'd like to keep and we'll make an offer on whatever you're ready to part with.
