I would bet the owner of this unit was Depression-era baby who served in the Air Force in WWII. My grandpa was like this. He loved buying toy like hobby things and hoarding them. He did not have actual toys growing up and was in the war. When he came back and got older, the joy came from knowing he had it. Intentions were to put things on display but it never came to be. I would guess this mans house was packed with boxes when he passed. Growing up with nothing made him want to have things always around him. These people truly were the Greatest Generation.. ❤❤❤

My mother is a major collector of MANY different and expensive items. Her father was an huge collector of trains. These items have to be from a train and hobby shop. These items are now considered vintage. When he had the hobby/train store theses items were expensive but not very hard to find. Now, 16 years later many are hard to get. If you sell these items properly, and you have what I believe you have in the back of your locker, I estimate roughly $250,000 +.Be careful about the way you sell these items. As I was typing you were opening up some other boxes… I have been waiting for the trains to show themselves. And…. There ya go. Congrats on your find. Many of these items will never be found in brand new condition. You really have found gold.

I doubt the previous owner had a store, my guess is that he had some sort of compulsive buying disorder and a lot of money (Apple stock?) and simply stored everything away, without even opening some of the packages.
@marybunn25873 жыл бұрын
The quality of the items and not finding comps just speaks to me of the rarity of the items. i bet the guy who got 55 of the cars was freaking out about getting them for less than a thousand dollars! My guess is $250,000 to $500,000 overall. Congratulations on this find of a lifetime! How sad the guy's family couldn't go through the locker because he clearly loved collecting. What a blessing for you and your family. How exciting, you will have stories to tell for years!

Man, you hit a gold mine there! This guy must have had a shop for models and model trains or something. Märklin, Trix, Fleischmann, Schuco and all that is gold standard for models and trains in Germany. And since model trains are less popular nowadays, some of the stuff may be discontinued. In the "as new" condition it could bring a lot of money, if you don't rush it and wait for the right collectors who look for a certain model. Having bought all this for $1 was probably the best deal since the USA bought Alaska from the Russians. :)

We sat on the curb in front of their house until just before The Wonderful World of Disney came on. She let us come in and watch the intro, Tinkerbell creating fireworks of different colors and all that. We were mesmerized . Then she made us leave lol Thanks for the heads up, I'll go look for that video!!

I’ve got a friend who has twin single garages on her house. She has a whole side devoted to a massive train setup that runs on 3 levels with the top level almost hitting the ceiling. She has a Plexiglass door built in so she can leave the main door open at night during the holidays and light up the whole scene using village lighting. Half of the front of the lowest level becomes a Christmas Village and folks are invited to walk up and enjoy seeing the trains run. It’s soooo much fun to see the little kids faces light up at the Christmas scene, then the fascination as they watch the train wend their way through the entire layout. She also opens the outer door on noice spring and fall evenings and people come over to watch the trains run and see what changes she has made in the different scenic areas (she changes them often). I hate to think how much time and money she has invested in all of it, but at least it’s not just sitting in a locker gathering dust. It’s out being enjoyed by a huge variety of people on a regular basis.

I too love how excited you get with your locker finds, it's like a kid in a candy store! What a blessing this year has been for you and your family!!!

I would definitely recommend getting the trains that don’t have current comps APPRAISED so that you maximize your profits and don’t sell yourself short. This locker could fund your 401K and take care of you in your retirement!

Yes you’re right, the guy who bought that definitely saw them as an investment. So it should be wise to do the same with few pieces.

He’s selling those items at their retail cost, not their antique value.

@@RMFATO What a waste... I see a few pieces that go for way more than retail, and collectors will eat them up. It's not even a cold item, they are hot pieces that WILL sell. =(

These German trains, carriages etc are not cheap. Even the small bits. My husband would be so envious
