Original Hornby James Thomas Coaches - Worth anything?

[meatloaf]

Ive found 3 of my old thomas coaches in my dads loft.

 

2 x R091 and 1x R094. Are they worth much these days? Boxed although boxes are slightly tired coaches are in fab condition.

Look at eBay completed items. Normally these sort of things go for far more than you might expect.

I did have a quick look on ebay but couldnt see any of the older ones. Plenty of the newer ones

when I look on E-bay for R094, I mainly get a Pilkington Glass wagon, but also a Thomas set - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/114419797301?hash=item1aa3f38d35:g:-9MAAOSw2M9fZ5b7 which is listed at £250.

 

There are a few R091 (and R094) on Worthpoint (https://www.worthpoint.com/inventory/search?categories=&query=R091) but you'd need to sign up for free subscription to see the price details - these are mainly past E-bay sales.

In the 8th edition of Ramsay's guide, they are quoted at £15 - £20.

Selecting the boxes for "completed" and "sold items" half way down the left hand side of the desktop eBay site shows that the coaches have sold for around £14 each excluding p&p at around £5.

 

If I were selling on eBay I'd put them up for £20 with £5 postage but tick the box to invite offers on them. There's no other items currently listed and someone might snap them up straight away.

Cheers ive put them on ebay with a start price of £30 which at a tenner a coach seems like a good bet.
