???I have just inherited a Bachmann train set, I believe it is rather old and would like to know the best way to determine it's value. Each train and components have their original boxes.
If it is a Civil War set for either the North or South, Ebay will provide you with some guidance on value.
If it is any other set, maybe 30 dollars max.
The real value I think is of the Play kind. Does it run well and all parts present?
I cannot tell you how many times people think that something old and dusty in a closet shelf for 40 years will be worth something. Brass yes, trainsets no.
Inheritance is nice. Work off that. I recall one I received with a grand total of 12.50 after all fees and expenses were paid. It worked out great. Come into this world with nothing, leave with nothing.
If that's the only thing you inherited you didn't make out very well. 8)
