Business overview

At Les's Models we REALLY DO VALUE your collections large or small, we guarantee politeness and sound advice, and will OFFER YOU THE BEST CASH PRICES ANYWHERE .

We pay cash for any railways, Dinky toys or Corgi toys you are wanting to sell.

Our business was established in 1991 and since then we have been been giving honest valuations for models and toys throughout the North West of England. If you would like to learn more about your toy or model, we are happy to provide friendly advice and information for you.

Our valuations are provided completely free of charge and you are of course under no obligation to sell your toy. We are always courteous and discreet.

But we have now been retained by one of Merseyside’s largest legal practices to evaluate items from their probate department for example we have just valued this very rare 1950’s toy crane which is worth £1500, needless to say the executors were delighted.

We had a surprise visit yesterday from Jools Holland who came to purchase some stock on his way to the Lytham Festival where he was appearing with Anne-Marie and Tom Jones. He has asked us to source some special items which Hannah will hopefully be able to find in the next couple of weeks.

Les is a gem!! Honest and fair!!

5
Les was very helpful and informative. He gave honest and fair valuations for the items I had to sell. He was a thoroughly lovely man.

He travelled to collect the items and did not ask us to post the items. He paid cash right away as stated on his website.

He was an absolute pleasure to deal with and I would not hesitate to use Les and his company for any items I had to sell in the future.
Thank you Les, for your help and advice. Today's world is very short on people like Les!!! Thanks again. X

Les was professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. I had quite a few things I wanted to sell and didn't know where to start. He talked me through everything and was very honest and open. I am really happy and would recommend Les to anyone. Thank you do much for making this process a piece of cake.

Easy genuine transaction

Les is a genuine honest guy who prices models very fairly.
I have done business with him on several occasions and have found him very easy to talk to with a pleasant easy going manner.
The prices he quotes are very fair and he is always on time for collection.

Offer for my items was well below what they were actually worth

1
I had some small cars and Britains items etc that I was looking to sell, they were my late fathers.
I email all the detailed pictures across to Les. He was very helpful and quick at replying and looking through the numerous photos.
He offered me a price of £220 for the lot, I thought it would have been more as I had research a few items myself, so wanted a 2nd valuation. Les said the items were mainly what they call "clod fodder" that you could find in a charity shop for 50p.
I took the items to The Auction Centre in Runcorn, they were all sold at auction, and after deducting all the fees we received £904.56. One car sold for £340 alone.
I am aware that items will receive different values on different days, due to the demand, but I am so glad I did not accept the offer from Les.
The purpose of this review is to make sure you receive a 2nd valuation before accepting any offer.
