I NEED TO FIND THE VALUE OF LOTS OF LIONEL VINTAGE TRAINS. CAN ANYONE HELP?
The best thing you can do is buy yourself a copy of “Greenburg’s Pocket Price Guide to Lionel Trains.” These are readily available online or in a book store, and are relatively inexpensive.
Next, open the book, find the section on grading in the front, and read and study it carefully.
Look at each piece carefully, and decide how it grades. Be conservative-many people trying to sell want to badly overestimate the grade.
And, no, “mint condition for its age” is not a legitimate grade. Mint means “Brand New all original, unused and unblemished.” A piece which is mint should be clean, shiny, and have no rust, paint chips, or handling marks.
Now, look up the pieces in the guide by the number marked on the side of them. Find the listed price.
Take this price and subtract 30% from it, as Greenburg’s prices are inflated. This will give you a realistic idea of what everything is worth.
