I have 3 banana boxes full of old Gilbert S Gauge track. Some of it has plastic ties but most of it is the old style with metal ties. Most of it needs tlc as it is rusty, but not beyond repair. If anyone can give an idea of what demand there might be for this track, I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

it will sell ! but dont expect much
Clean straight track with metal ties seems to bring a good price at meets ($1-3ish, depending on condition). Curves are inexpensive since there were so many more of them produced. Not sure about the stuff with plastic ties.
Of course, as with any kind of track, shipping is a killer.
Might wanna check with forum sponsor The Tin Man; not sure if he handles AF track, but he might at least have suggestions...

The straight sections provide a good source for scrap rail for scenery. They are a scale 40ft and have an acceptable profile. The metal ties make a good gondola load for magnetic cranes. Page 897, 3/3/20 - 11:07 am I did a post. Check it out

Nice clean rust free track is always in demand..............I never consider any other condition........you can work your A____ off trying to get track cleaned up......Don't forget wide tie roadbed .........stick roadbed stinks...................

The plastic track is Pikemaster. It has about the same value as the standard Gilbert track, depending upon condition.
Just saw 380 pieces curved and straight for $200 on the bay so about fifty two cents each.

You shouldn't have any trouble selling good clean American Flyer track. If you have rubber roadbed to go with it, that would be like frosting on the cake.
