I have at least one of every 1:18 scale GS or GSX made, including the Nats Specials (all matching serial numbers). Probably 18 to 20 in total. First run yellow and black GSXs, Peachtree editions, etc. Most still in boxes, some have been displayed but still have the boxes. Looking for individual "worth" - not really to sell, more for informational purposes. Anyone have an idea? Ebay is hit-or-miss and not a real reliable info source. Local hobby shops are only interested in NASCAR stuff and are not too helpful. Any info appreciated. Thanks.
i have a guide from 1999 the only 1/18 scale are ertl gs/gsx in the book are as follows: American muscle yellow 71 gsx $50 to $100 American muscle black 70 gsx $50 to $100 then it says the blue peachstate 71 gsx,diamond collectables red 71 gsx,96 nationals white gsx 70,97 nationals bittersweet mist 71 gsx, and the98 nationals aqua mist 70 gs stage1. are valued at $101.00 to 200.00 each. I hope this helps you convince the wife,so you can keep them. I know there are alot of other cars not in the guide but its all i have .
I know those prices came from "The Book", but how did the author determine those prices? uzzled: I've been curious of the same thing, myself, but I don't agree that those are necessarily "current" values! :Smarty: For example, what does the book list, specifically, the '96 Nationals (White Prototype with Window Sticker) as? Does a "lower" production number make it more valuable, if it's a "Limited Edition"? o No: The most I've seen one Sell for was $350, at a "Toy Show"! ou: :shock: If those values are accurate, I have 2 of almost EVERY one that you have listed (except for the Blue one and the Red one)! I've never removed ANY of them from the original boxes, or opened them at all! :shock: Maybe at one of the Buick events we could have "scale racing" like a Pinewood Derby, only using the ERTL cars! Bring your customized 1/18th GSX to run against a 1/18th Hemi Cuda, for example! Put them on the track, and let them go! :laugh: I got $10 on the GSX! :TU: If it wins, I'll buy it for $50! :bglasses:
I'm not questioning "you", Jerry. :TU: I just wonder, sometimes, how people get their information about determining "values" for parts. o No:
That's fine, I just relayed what was in the book "A Guide To BUICK Diecast and collectables" I know all my cars are worth alot more than anyone is willing to pay. Anywho... I didnt take anything as a slam. :beer
