Hello! Let me say this right off the bat: I know nothing about toy collecting or the value of toys. If this thread seems totally noobish please forgive me.
I have a few Transformers toys that used to be my older brother's and my mom thinks they might be valuable. Again, I have no clue, but we did used to have some action figures that she got appraised and sold for a decent sum. To satisfy my curiosity I want to find out what their value is. I don't know much about the toys, but I think they're from the 80's I know the the biggest one and the biggest car on the top right of the photos say 1988 on the bottom. my brother was born 1983. They're in very good condition but not perfect condition, and I don't have any packaging. Please shed some light for me! Am I holding some gems or regular toys? Bonus: I also have a big Transformers truck. I can't find it right now for appraisal, but if that rings a bell let me know. Thank you! EDIT: Accidentally had the same photo twice. Fixed.

Some of the G1 Micromasters (the really small ones) can fetch you about $5-6 apieace and the G1 Minibots (blue dune buggy, hovercraft and orange futuristic car) can get you anywhere from $10-20 depending on condition. The Minicons aren't worth that much since they are far more recent (mid-2000's).
If you want, I can get you a list to identify all the ones you have in your pics. With the list, you can check Ebay's completed auctions to see what they're going for online. Amazon's another good place to check. Oh, and as far as a "big Transformers truck", you'll have to be a little more specific. There are quite a few of them.

For the big one I'll just have to look for it and get it evaluated when I find it. |

Ok, slight update on my previous post. I took a more thorough look at your pics and have compiled the following list. The order is based on the first image in your third attachment ("...transformers3.jpg").
Top row (l-r): G1 Micromaster Detour (part of the Sports Car Patrol 4-pack; missing front end) G1 Micromaster Free Wheeler (part of the Race Car Patrol 4-pack) G1 Micromaster Tailspin (part of the Race Car Patrol 4-pack) G1 Micromaster Tote (part of the Off-Road Patrol 4-pack) Unknown plane (looks a little like a Starscream toy, but unsure) G1 Technobot Lightspeed (missing gray handgun and 2 gray vehicle guns/"missiles") G1 Micromaster Transport Overload (trailer/plane section) Middle row (l-r): G1 Minibot Seaspray G1 Micromaster Transport Overload (cab/robot) G1 Micromaster Growl (part of the Military Patrol 4-pack; missing roof-mounted gun) G1 Micromaster Swindler (part of the Race Car Patrol 4-pack) G1 Micromaster Blackjack (part of the Sports Car Patrol 4-pack) G1 Micromaster Highjump (part of the Off-Road Patrol 4-pack) G1 Minibot Wheelie (missing face cover) G1 Micromaster Tracer (part of the Military Patrol 4-pack; missing rotor blade) Bottom row (l-r): G1 Micromaster Mudslinger (part of the Off-Road Patrol 4-pack) G1 Micromaster Powertrain (part of the Off-Road Patrol 4-pack) G1 Micromaster Base Airwave (missing airport/base & two orange missiles) G1 Minibot Beachcomber G1 Micromaster Road Hugger (part of the Sports Car Patrol 4-pack) G1 Micromaster Hyperdrive (part of the Sports Car Patrol 4-pack) These toys did not come with any accessories unless otherwise noted. Hope this helps.

No problem.
I've been collecting Transformers for 30 years now, so I know a few things.

If I were to sell these toys, do you think anyone would buy them all together? (maybe excluding the unidentified plane or the broken ones) |

I'm sure someone would be interested. I know there's some in your lot that I wouldn't mind picking up to fill in a couple gaps I have in my own collection.
My suggestion is to post those pics in our BST forum and maybe on the BST forum at our sister site Transformer World 2005 and see if there are any takers. You can also do some searches there in addition to Ebay and Amazon to see how much others are asking for similar items and price yours accordingly.
