Anyone know a good place to auction model cars?

This one is a question for my son's school PTA. We've had donated LOADS of model cars, all in boxes which we think would be better sold to collectors rather than at the school summer fair.

I've had a look on ebay, and although they do have similar cars on there, they just aren't selling. So I'm not sure Ebay is the right place for them.

Does anyone know of an auction site or similar which is JUST for collectibles? Obviously, we'd like to get as much money for these as possible.

Any help gratefully received!

    Try looking at toy & collector fairs or specialist toy auctions.

    there used to be swap meets held regularly around the country. I'm sure that google would bring some up?

    Sounds silly but try dickinsons real deal if they are local to you soon, or you could try an auction house.
