    That is a great collection of cars. The Maisto are probably the lowest end cars but you should still do well on them. The Burago are Italian made and sell good. American Muscle always sells good. The Auto Art should bring the highest amount. I use to buy and sell these all the time and always did good even when I had some at discounted prices. $20 each is a good purchase price and I am think you will more than double you money on this collection. Makes me wish I was still in Canada buying and selling die cast and would love to have some of those cars but would cost a fortune to ship to the Philippines and then not much room here for the 1/18th models. Good luck with your sale and I will be watching for sure.

      On the prairies, this is called “breakup.” The frost goes up to 3-feet deep and expands the moisture in the soil. When it thaws, that now liquid takes time to either bleed off at the surface or redistribute itself in the soil. If you drive on it at that time, you’re in the mud. Even rock will sink in that mix until it stabilizes. Doable, but takes multiple layers of rock to fix. In the oil fields to the north, they give breakup time to settle before going over the roads.
