Hi and welcome to the forum.
From your sign up info I gather you are in Australia so you have the following choices in order of diminishing returns:
1) sell items individually via eBay/Facebook marketplace etc. This will involve you in a lot of research, work and grief dealing with individual buyers but will produce the highest returns.
2) Sell at a swapmeet. The Australian Scalextric Collectors club LINK hold them each year in Sydney and Melbourne. If you contact them they should be able to advise on prices. A Lot less hassle than selling on eBay and should provide decent prices.
3) Sell via a specialist land based toy auction house. Several in UK but not sure about Australia. Bear in mind that they will take a hefty commission and the buyers premium involved will also reduce the hammer price. Overall although it will produce a decent return with minimum work on your part.
4) Sell to a dealer who will buy the whole collection. Bear in mind that they are in business to make a profit, nothing wrong with that, but you will only receive about 50/60% of the true value.
The UK dealers already mentioned are reputable and of long standing but I don't know whether they deal in your part of the world. The Australian Collectors Club linked above may be able to help with dealers more local to you.
There is also an Australian slot car forum LINK. Don't know how active it is these days but it could be another source of information for you.
