Josh. Here are some ideas worth chasing up if you want to sell the entire collection, or just parts of it...

• Contact the organizers of the Lehigh Valley Slot Car Show in Allentown, PA: www.valleygoto.com/slot-car-show-and-toy-car-show
  
• Contact Elliot Dalberg (njdcball@aol.com), organizer of the Maryland (Baltimore) Slot Car Show and Swapmeet
  
• Contact Pete Serraon (pserraon@aol.com), organizer of the Parsippany, NJ Slot Car Show
  
• Contact Guy Graziano (facebook.com/groups/Guysvintageslotcarsales)
  

Booking a table at a show might be an idea? The show organizers are more likely to help you with pricing if you are part of their show, rather than just selling on eBay! I was lucky enough to attend a Maryland show during a trip to the States in 2018 and it was a really friendly event. The chances are that anything very collectable would be bought early at a good price and you are likely to get offers for anything you have left over from dealers. If you want to turn the collection into cash quickly and without too much hassle, that might be a fun alternative to simply selling it all to a dealer.

Because the old 60s and 70s cars are collected by knowledgable and passionate enthusiasts, you will need to list items extremely carefully if you sell via eBay. The whole process will require time and research - and the humility that you'll get things wrong and have to deal with unhappy customers. There are collectors' guides for Aurora, Tyco and early Tomy models, listing all the variations and with notes on how common or rare they are. The guys listed above could help you get hold of those guides.
