SteBurns Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Hi folks, I'm Steve I thought I'd join up and ask for some advice as I started racing 1/10 electric saloons back in the early 90's and continued to race up until around 2003(ish) I've never actually sold any of my cars, they're all stowed away in the house and I'm not even sure what I've got any more! Some of the cars I remember are... - Schumacher Bosscat (I think I have 2) - Tamiya Manta Ray - HPI RS4 Mini (the short wheelbase one) - Tamiya Top Force Evolution - Mardave Cobra - Schumacher Axis 2 - Tamiya Michelin Pilot Escort - Tamiya Peugeot 306 - Tamiya Mondeo - Tamiya Beetle - Tamiya Classic Mini Plus loads more... My question is, do I hold onto my cars for their sentimental value or get rid? Are they even worth selling? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carpmart Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I would imagine a few people on here, living with the nostalgia of these cars, would be very interested in liberating some of your unloved collection from you. Get em out, photos and a for sale listing and see how you get on.... Welcome to the forum too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HYPER-BOY Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Welcome, yes I would say they are very saleable. If the Tamiya models are in good condition then you should do well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteBurns Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 Thanks for the replies so far... Sadly, most of the cars have been raced so they're hardly showroom condition, but I'll dig them out over the next few days and see what I've got. They haven't seen daylight in 20 years most of 'em!

ReggieC Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 The Bosscats, if in good condition, will be worth a decent amount amongst the vintage racing circles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
