What We Buy
We buy collector-grade diecast vehicles in larger scales from premium manufacturers — display-quality models, not small-scale toy cars.
Also Buying
Along with diecast vehicles, we purchase these related items especially as part of a larger collection.
What we don't buy: Small-scale toy cars like modern Hot Wheels, Matchbox mainline, or Johnny Lightning. We focus on larger-scale collector-grade models in 1:18, 1:24, 1:43 and similar scales.
Who We Work With
Inherited a collection of Franklin Mint or AUTOart models in display cases? We'll identify everything, assess values, and make a fair offer. No expertise needed.
Display cabinets full of 1:18 or 1:43 models? We buy entire collections — no need to list them one at a time on eBay or forums.
Switching from diecast cars to a different collecting category? Sell us your models and fund the next passion.
What Sellers Say
“My father passed and left hundreds of model trains. Jon identified everything, gave us a fair price, and handled it all in one visit. Exactly what we needed.”
“Jon was fair, knowledgeable, and made the whole process painless. Showed up when he said he would and paid cash on the spot.”

Common Questions

Yes — especially in excellent condition with original boxes, certificates, and documentation. Classic American cars and limited editions tend to command the best prices. Send us photos for a free evaluation.
Significantly. Collector-grade diecast with original boxes, foam inserts, and documentation are worth considerably more than loose models. Premium brands like AUTOart and CMC retain value even without packaging, but boxes always help.
Vintage Corgi and Dinky from the 1950s–70s can be quite valuable — especially in good condition with original boxes. Rare variations, color runs, and promotional models command premium prices. Send us photos and we'll evaluate.
