I have decided to part with my Tonka and other toy trucks. My question is what are they worth and is there still a demand ? There are approximately 50 of them, with half of them being Tonka brand. I would appreciate any insight you guys could offer. Thanks!
Hey Bowie, It's a lot of work, but my suggestion would be to do some research on Ebay and see what each is going for. I've always done my troy pricing research using ebay. The Mini (smaller) Tonkas don't have much of a following, but the bigger trucks (tonka, Nylint, Structo etc.) can demand decent money. But, right off hand, 2 of them caught my eye...the 2 in the left rear corner. The white Tonka Sanitary Garbage truck is a ONE YEAR (1960) production and can bring $400-500. Also the Nylint Mobile home set can bring $300-400 depending on condition. Selling Vintage Tonka Toys? Tonka Toys and Trucks Museum A good source of Tonka info. Hope this helps a little. Jack
Thank you Jack, for your insight and the informative link. I knew you would be a good guy to touch base with on this subject.
I don't have any more info for you, but just wanted to tell about the road grader we recently acquired. An orange, new in the box, #2510 like yours in the back row.
