Whoo!  That's a lot of collection ...  Maybe you should look up ebay and see
who's selling parts - maybe they'd make you an offer for it all.  $16,000
Canadian dollars is a lot of money.

I do find myself rather perplexed by some of the prices though:

Classic Space

6870, 1981
6972, 1987
6990, 1987  715pcs  Futuron, Monorail Transport System

500.00$

Most of the value of this portion, for example, must be in the monorail.
The first two sets probably aren't worth much more than $15-20 CDN maximum,
each!!  In fact, I think they sold for less than $15 each here in
Australia!!

Of course, auctioning them separately might yield differing results, but I
don't reckon a lot of value could be in the first two sets alone!!

You might want to revise the value of some of the items in your complete
list, or consider selling them separately.  A lot of the sets are worth
money, I'd use ebay to figure out what's worth it, by going to the 'Search
Completed items' link, to get a better valuation.

It might take some time for such a large list though.  Good luck finding a
buyer willing to cough up that much Canadian money.

For example, on the monorail set, it's auction value ranged from $72 to $305
dollars, in different currencies, although it doesn't show that.  I checked
the other two for completed auctions and after searching, I'd estimate
around $30-50 max for the 6972 and for the 6870 probably about $20-30 if you
get real lucky and find some people willing to compete for it, around $10-15
otherwise.



Cheers ...
