Help please

I'm in Minnesota helping my cousins kids clean out and value his estate. It took 3 days to value all the T stuff. He has quite a large model railroad collection, much of it new in box. American flyer, Lionel etc. we need to find a buyer for it all or most of it. I'll try to post a picture a bit later today. Any leads to buyers would be much appreciated. Kim

There's a fellow down in Centralia, WA that is a collection buyer - I'll dig for his number - you know I'm an American Flyer Guy too !

Check Craigs list. Of course they will want to buy for pennies on the $'s. Some of the American Flyer stuff is worth more then Lionel but it depends on how common ether is, less common is more $'s. Some of the American Flyer sets of passenger cars have asking price in the hundreds of $'s. I have been doing a little repair work on some of both on the side.

I sold your cousin a really nice American Flyer Glendale station a couple years ago.

If you want to do it locally, you might be able to find a buyer via one of the clubs here in the Twin Cities:

Pines & Prairies S Scale Workshop (including American Flyer)
Walt Jopke
6611 Countryside Drive
Eden Prairie, MN
jopke@vtc.com

Lakes and Pines Division of the Train Collectors Association (various scales)
www.tcaLakesAndPines.com

There are also a couple of want-ads on Minneapolis Craigslist for Lionel that I see on a regular basis:

Steve Tomaso - That's David Dansky, Ridgefield, WA. I don't have his phone number, however, he is so well known as a "buyer, collector, etc. that he should be pretty easy to contact online, Facebook, etc.,....harold

Thanks for all the suggestions, here are a couple of pictures of the pile!

I just remembered that the fellow who usually posts on Minneapolis Craigslist for Lionel also posts want-ads for American Flyer:

I would say he's located about 25 miles from your cousin's place.
