Default Does anyone know what these are worth?

Was cleaning out my basement & ran across these.I was going to toss them & a freind of mine asked me if I have rocks in my head
He said there worth like $50 ea So can some one tell me if he's smokin something? There a little dirty,the brats were to good to play with trucks.It doesn't have a joy stick w/a tv connected to it.





Had like 5 more pieces & gave them to a friend of mine.If these are worth something,I'm gunna be pissed.
Also found these.




So if anyone knows about this,Please let me know.
Thanks!
FGD

Freddy check ebay. from the looks of everything you should be able to get 30 to 50 each for everything.

Nice find Freddy! The 1/64 Ertl JD toys aren't worth a whole lot prolly 25 for the lot. They are from the late 80's. The IH/payloader is pretty cool. Its worth about 15-20 itself. The Tonka's are definitely worth not throwing away. My kid would play with them in his sandbox. You just cant find toys like this any more. especially metal one's.

Maybe Smallhaul can assist you to RC all the Tonka stuff. Just imagine an entire fleet of RC "toys" - would be more than cool!

Holy cow freddy you still have these Tonka trucks I 'd give them a dust off and keep them in a safe place where little hands can't get to them or use them on your trailers as loads, the majority of toys these days are all plastic only cause it's cheaper to make give me metal toys any day..................


Cheers Tracy

I have the truck, the loader, the grader. not in that good of shape either but yours should be worth $50 a piece to the right market. As for the small stuff I had a collection like that. When I was a young boy in the hospital my grandparents bought a bunch of those and brought them to me in the hospital to play with.

then some kids stole it...

Fred, those Tonkas aren't hard to find and sell for $10 to $30 a piece plus shipping on ebay.

I just sold off my old tonka toys, i didnt have a grader and still got a pretty penny for them, an average of 45.00 each. With the right buyer Ive seen some sell on the bay andcraigslist for up to 60.00 each. I would def. keep them or sell them not just toss them. Nice find by the way its too bad they dont make them like used too.
