I am the Toy Specialist/Director for our United States company of Bonhams. We are a world wide auction house and feature toy auctions in the United Kingdom as well as the United States.

I would be honored to sell your ATOMIC JET CAR. I have sold the car twice at our auction site and the results were excellent. I sold a very poor conditioned vehicles for $2500 (US) several years ago and the
car was missing many parts and had fatigue and rust.

You can send the vehicle to our company via International USPS or UPS. We would sign for the receiving of the toy and I would contact you immediately. Our next auction is scheduled for October 2011. The next auction is January 2012.

Please let me know what you decide.

With kindest regards

J. Friedman
Director

I am living in Sydney, Australia. We are currently clearing out my grandmother’s attic and I have found my father’s old atom jet a-58. I did a google search on the car to see if it was worth anything and found a link to your write up on the car in the DFW toy museum.

Our one is not in as good condition, but we are interested in selling it. I have obtained a valuation from our local branch of sotherbys who says it should reach about $3-400AUD at auction (less 20% for vendor’s commission).

I was wondering if you could recommend anywhere that specialises in selling toy cars that might have a wider target audience (hopefully attracting a higher price) or a lower seller’s commission. I was also wondering if you know whether there is a bigger market for toy cars in the US, and whether it might be worthwhile my selling the car there instead.

I look forward to hearing from you with any advice you are able to provide (I can also provide pictures of the car if this would help).

Marie-Louise
