How do I find the value of old train sets?

Answer by  carryvan (148)

The first step in finding the value of anything old is to do some extensive research on the internet; you will usually find most of the information you need here. If you cannot find any information of your product, consider taking the item to an antique dealer or appraiser. Keep in mind appraisers will charge you a small fee.
