Dealership Brochures /Worth Anything?


For years I would  always wander thru the Gm dealerships -look at the new vehicles and pick up the new brochures.Recently I have been trying to clean up some stuff-I came across over 20  chevrolet  brochures-I had-all are like new-from the 90's to the 2002 Camaro one(which has the 35th anniversary and the supposedly last year of Camaro)-everything from Monte Carlos -to Pick ups-many years of Camaros  and 2 of them are the last printed ones GM did the 2019 Blazer and the 2019 All New Silverado-I really don't want to sell them individually -rather sell them as a lot-any idea if they are worth anything?

Thanks in advance for input!!!

Keep on Cruising!!!

Dave

The later stuff tends not to be worth much, but you never know. Condition plays into it, as well as which model. Stuff that has been handled roughly will show it, and stuff that has been carefully stored will be like new.
I recommend scouting eBay for a time to get an idea of where pricing is on your particular items. There are vendors that sell nothing but car brochures. Some are very proud, others are realistic.

I've been collecting car & truck brochures since I was on a tricycle in the 60's. I can't say I have ever sold any of mine, but I have given away some nice ones to friends that owned the featured cars.

if you want to sell them as a lot, try the businesses which sell them;
I am sure they are worth something to someone.

I had been looking for a brochure for my 1992 Chev half ton;
I think I bought one (my "office" is a major disaster, and I need to see if I already bought one);
I came across one at the last swap meet, but held off on buying it becasue it was $25 - and i wasn't sure I didn't already have one.

My experience is that selling as a lot is a dead end. I've had tremendous success selling individually for late fifties to present day. There is always someone out there looking for a piece of anything to add to their car. My son used the brochures as a summer job when he was in high school and made a lot of money, thousands but then I had many bankers boxes full. 

To answer the question are they worth anything? Would you walk past a $20 bill lying on the street? We've easily averaged $20 per and have hit as high as $80 in ebay auctions.
