The other is#6456 gloss red with yellow lettering that I was gonna put up for auction this coming weekend. Im not a model railroader, but I had come across some info about these two models being somewhat rare. So I wanted to check with the experts. #Post#: 610-------------------------------------------------- Re: A question on rarity of two cars #6562-50 black and #6456 gl oss red with yellow By: djacobsen Date: March 25, 2014, 9:22 pm --------------------------------------------------------- ruffo76 Hello & Welcome to the Forum! Choo Choo Auctions, Lionel Rolling Stock Price Guide. (HTM) http://www.traincity.com/price_guide/pllirsp.html Your 6456 Hopper, Glossy Red w/Yellow Letters in Very Good Condition is listed at $85.00. AmbroseBauer Trains Auctions (HTM) http://www.ambrosebauer.com/auctionlist.php?auction=143 Your 6562-50 Black NYC Gondola w/cannisters, original box, is listed as lot # 13, selling for $15.00 (which is the same price I received for the one I sold.) In general, PW locomotives and rolling stock prices are down from what they were a few years ago when prices were at their peak, unless it is a rare item. You may get the price listed for your 6456, or it may sell for more if more than one person is seeking that specific car for their collection and get in a bidding war. It may sell for less if no one is looking for that specific car. If it's being auctioned, it's subject to the whims of the buyers. Good luck with your auction, if they don't sell, you can always list them here on the forum in our Classified's sub-forum and avoid the auction site fee's. Happy Rails.
