Answer 1

you don't need to know, that the beauty of the auction, start low and if you must put a reserve on it at your wanting price, then just let them bid on it

Answer 2

If it's a vintage set then it may be worth alot to the right person. Look for those trade shows that have trains on display & talk with people there. Who knows, you may have something very rare. But, the 1st answer is also correct. The beauty of an auction is to see what things are worth. Watch eBay for several months to see what pops up on your items & then maybe you can get an idea as to what to sell your trains for. It's time consuming, but it may get you more cash in the long run.

Answer 3

Lionel engines and cars have unique numbers to them and there are references listing approximate value based on the numbers.

Answer 4

Buy a copy of Greenberg's guide to Lionel trains. That will give you a reference point. See link:
