    post it on ebay like i told you the other forum, you'll yield 200-400 out of it. as i told you before, locally you'll prob. get 100 bucks maybe. the freight cars are prob. worth 20 bucks each, the engine will sell on ebay for 50 bucks or more, and the accessories are prob. worth 5-15 bucks each.

    i'd take this guy up on his offer. 300+shipping. i just looked through the photos again and theres easil 500 worth of stuff here, but parting it out seperately would yield you the most and that is time consuming
