Does anyone have any idea what these would be worth?

Hi, My partner has always been into formula one and cars in general and has been collecting die cast cars since he was about 12.
They are die cast, 1:18 scale and 90 per cent of them are made by hot wheels. There is around 50 of them at last count, they are all as new condition, boxed.
A few pics:
The time has now come that he would like to sell them, so does anyone have any ideas on what they could be worth? Just looking for a general idea before we advertise them.
Thanks.

The thing is that most toys/ornaments of this type today are advertised as collectors items, therefore those who would collect this sort of thing will already have it!
As someone has already said, toys from the 50s. 60s and 70s and sometimes the 80s, that were not sold as collector items yet have been preserved, fetch huge prices!
I restore old toys from these eras!

Why are you exclaiming your posts?
Put the items into auction, put a reserve on them and if they don't reach the reserve then nothing's lost, wait awhile and try again. Nothing to get so excited about, just fact.
I had a girlfriend who actually used to speak like that. Needless to say we're not together anymore.
I'm not surprised, Tom, don't you just hate being shouted at? I've seen it happen before on this forum but I thought the person who continually did it had gone, seems that I was wrong.
It wasn't necessarily shouting, she just sounded constantly suprised/enthusiastic. It was really unnerving
I'm unnerved, believe me, I'm unnerved but for possibly different reasons.
Ok then, I won't pry...
Its a very bad habit I am trying to break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sometimes, well most times, my finger just types it without me thinking.
As a manager, I am nearly always sending emails to people that warrant an !, it is annoying I agree.
I collect F1 cars and know they are pretty expensive to buy, and there is a big market for them on eBay and they usually go up to a decent price on auction.
I don't think you will make too much of a loss on these at all. Maybe even make some on the rarer ones.
Good luck!!!
Don't know if this will help you or not but in Meadowhall Sheffield there is a formula 1 shop (they sell autographed memorabilia etc.) and I am sure they used to buy F1 related stock as well. If not they may be able to advise you anyway

Annoying? Yes, very - because it's unnecessary but whatever - I'm still happy to see you and I'll say no more- nudge nudge/wink wink.
LMAO!
