The crux of this collection is focused on GTO’s and other muscle cars in the form of die cast models in every scale, however, as my horizons have expanded so has the scope of my collection. As a broad overview, I would say I have nearly $250,000 worth of merchandise. 98% of this is brand new, in boxes and unopened. Some of it is displayed in cases. It is all outstanding and I have always purchased the most desirable items. The items range in age from the 1940’s to present day. My intent initially was to just fill my office up with some die cast models and some cool classic toys, even some of the newer stuff that I liked and I thought would be definitely classics some day. I started collecting stuff for my kids to have in 20 years as memories of their childhood, but as we sometimes do, I began to get compulsive about the whole ordeal. As a result my 4 car garage is shelved with boxes and boxes and boxes and boxes of some of the coolest stuff there is, but I could use the room and the money. I would like to sell my entire collection rather than piece by piece. At one point we considered opening up a museum or restaurant/museum in which these items would be ideal. Right now we own a classic car restoration business. That is why our interests and ideas revolved around these sorts of collectibles. And, again, as I said before, it became a compulsion which resulted in having such a large lot of items. I’ve taken pictures of the items I have out of boxes and displayed. I cannot possibly display enough pictures in an auction to thoroughly and properly represent this outrageously extensive collection of items, so I have taken general pictures and I will try to list, to the best of my ability, what we have. I think I am correct in assuming that phone conversations will have to take place between any perspective buyer and myself in order to communicate properly this collection. I thought this collection would be ideal for another person with such a compulsion or even someone with the idea such as we had of a museum, restaurant/museum concept or something of this nature. This package may also appeal to Ebay retailers or someone with a retail store. Please be advised that I am not prone to separate the collection or any of it’s components at this point. There are hundreds of boxes of items, some very rare, some just very cool and desirable. One thing is for sure, the reserve is set at far under value and at less than half of out of pocket expenses. This means that the reserve is set well enough under $100,000!!! I believe retail to be at about $250,000 with my out of pocket expenses at about $200,000 to $225,000. This is quite a buy for anyone interested. I can assist with packing and shipping.
