My friend took some of his old meccano boxes to a toy fair just to see if they were worth anything and people were fighting each other to look inside. He got offered £50 just for one part and a few hundred for the each box.

It may be worth doing a google search first as some rare parts can get a lot of money where as incomplete boxes don't.

Reminds me of what's called an Erector set over here. And I agree they can fetch a good amount of money.

Wow Horses you found a gold mine of old toys....I didn't have that set in particular more like what.Jack mentioned.. I had the semi deluxe erector set... it was deemed to dangerous for kidlets ... so it went out of production...If your Corgis are the Superhero series...they are worth a good dollar...the Green Hornet's "Black Beauty " in primo condition can go for 500 Us :O ...almost the same for the old Batmobile Batcycle..Batboat ....James bond's Austin Martin...the original version can command up to 400 solid ... the new version less. .

Great find.. Personally I'd keep them ...let your kidlets have them ...with luck they will only increase in value... and perhaps even become heirlooms :thumbup:
