My husband left me some HO Scale train pieces, still in the original (old) boxes, untouched. How can I find a realistic price for them, and where can I sell them?

Well, one good idea to determine values would be to look for simmilar trains on ebay and see what they sell for. As for selling them, ebay is always good or you could see if there are any hobby stores in your area that would buy them. Keep in mind, though, that hobby stores are out to make money and would only give you about half of what they would sell them for. I would reccomend asking about this in the Model Railroader forums, where most of the HO enthusiasts hang out. This forum is more for larger, more toy trains.

none of my business but if you have any kids, they might be of nostalgic value to them---or grandkids
