Model Railroads - Arnold rapido turntable


Expert: Bob Williams - 10/31/2009

Question
I have a ARNOLD RAPIDO N Guage Turntable that has never been out of its original box.  The turntable was given to me by the Product Development Director for Rapido in Nurenberg, Germany (Herr Munsing) many years ago when I was Vice President of International Marketing for Revell, Inc.   We imported the Rapido trains under the Revell brand.  

Anyway, I was thinking of selling this on E-Bay but have no idea what it would be worth and wondered if you had any ideas.  I'm sure it would be a real gem for an n-guage hobbist/collector.


Looking forward to hearing from you.

Answer
Hi:

If it is the normal 0851 model they seem to go in the $120-140 range. Not sure if the provenance would add anything to the value, it might slightly. If it was an Aurora Postage Stamp item which is my specialty I would pay a little more but that might just be me! If you also have the 6385 selector then add about $75 to the total. Did you have much to do with the trains? Thanks for the question. E-mail me at schwinnbikebob@yahoo.com    Thanks for the question!
Bob
