Also do your research.
Whilst you might feel or even "know" that a certain unit, book or army is worth an amount make sure that you don't waste your time trying to sell it for that amount when past Ebay sales of the same item are at a much lower cost.

Check the prices that other similar or identical items have sold for (not what the mad and deluded are asking). Often you'll be disappointed but sometimes you might be pleasantly surprised.

I always pitch things at around 10% lower than the average past selling price on Ebay. (and knock a further 10% off when I put things on here :D )

As I'm sure you know, Alexander the Great's perspiration reportedly had a sweet aroma.
So, too, my '86'. The exhaust fumes are a pleasant & heady concoction.

My '86' is a joy. It stays!

Best thing Toyota did since the original Celica was to team up with Subaru and stick the Boxer engine in the joint enterprise!
Please tell me it's the GTS Manual...none of this automatic nonsense?

Nothing wrong with pumping some fumes.
Donald, have you thought about setting up storage in your house?

That was my first thought, I mean, it's not a supercharged '78 Z28 Camaro is it?

Also.. that may be the neatest and best organised wargames storage I have ever seen.

It's an '18 GTS manual.
It stays until I get a look at the '22. Roughly the same price but a bigger engine (2.4 litre).

SSSH! Don't tell my '86' I'm looking at other cars.
