Model Forum / General / Railroads / June 2004

Check the Greenberg Books now published by Kalmbach and expect to get,
at best, 50% of Greenberg values for items in real great condition.
The bottom has fallen out of 70s era MPC Lionel.

I have some old Lionel "O" gauge trains I would like to sell, but I have
no idea what they are worth today. In the mid 80's, I several collectors
appraise what I have and the average value then was around $1400 USD. I
would like to sell the collection as I no longer have an interest in
model trains.
I would like to find something or location where I can determine today's
value of my pieces. Any help is greatly appreciated in advance.

Greenberg's Lionel Pocket Price Guide--2004 Edition is an inexpensive
book that lists current values for almost all Lionel items ever made:

If you post a list, including the item numbers on each engine and piece of
rolling stock, maybe someone can give you an idea of value. You will need to
also post if they are with original boxes and what the general condition is.
