Franklin Mint Diecasts!!!!!!!!!!

[kingman]

Hi


Today l checked out on Ebay what was going on with the values of their Corvettes and was surprised.

It seem that they have finally started to go up in value, rather then depreciate.

I never bought them to make money, but just wanted to display them at a future date.

I have a lot of them that I'm thinking about selling up there.. basically because I could use the $$ for the bigger one I now own!!

Franklin Mint Die casts

Hi

What l noticed on ebay was that there were special limited editions and one of a kind die casts that were for sale that caught my attention all in their orig boxes.
That is where the price's looked good.

If you want to sell some of them, please list the years and colors and condition.
Plus if you have the orig boxes.

I will check it up against what l have and maybe we can strike a deal.

p.s. My office is in mid-town Manhattan (34th st)

The only ones I would have that are really bringing in big $$ is two '82 Vettes, the Collectors Edition and the Red one. Otherwise, my collection is mainly from various years from 1960-present. I have to weed through my collection and see which ones will go. All have been in display cases since new and nobody (including myself) plays with them, they are all mint.

I don't really trust ebay that much, too many people bid and then back out. I have a few plastics up there now that aren't selling. If you collect plastics, let me know.. I have a lot of those also that are just kicking around the house.

Franklin Mint Die Cast Corvettes

Hi Guys

I have had good luck on ebay, but l only deal with power sellers or people like that.
More people then we realize have been burnt for big bucks.

My vette came from ebay indirectly, it was a local car (65 miles away).

My only interest is diecast and in mint condition because they will be displayed in a glass book case. Just list what you have to sell and what you need $.

Thanks

Alan

I would like to know if there are any models of a 76?
Or is that just a bum year seriously I would be interested in a 76 coupe

Unfortunately there aren't any '70-77's.. (except for the '75) I'd like to see these made, for some reason no company is making them yet. Would be cool to see a '73 or '76, I'd definitely buy one!

I always say the 76's get no respect
