Used Gargraves track value? found some for sale locally

Depends on what condition it’s in.  If the ties are still black it would be worth more than track that has faded (gray) ties.  Old track is harder to bend.  New 37” flex track is around $8.50.  I saw some recently at a train meet that had been removed from a layout.  It had gray ties as well as scenery still stuck to it.  The vendor wanted $25 for ten 37” pieces.  I was going to grab it on my way out, but it was gone when I was leaving.

As Bob said, the condition is important.  Old beat-up GarGraves is not a bargain.  And unfortunately, GarGraves has gone up in price.  MSRP is now approaching $15 for a 37.25" straight.   Yeah, salty.

If you can get it at $1 a foot or so there us some value.  You need to consider condition, if it was previously bent, still in gauge.  Old track can be flexed, WD 40 is your friend.  I was easily able to resurect some of my old track this way.

IME.  GG used track is a gamble.  I would only buy plastic tie track used.  Wood tie GG can bite you.  Carefully eye ball for absolutely straight rails.  If you can find a good flex track roller you can straighten kinked GG

You can rejuvenate GG Flex track with wooden ties if you stand it up against your basement wall and soak it really well on both sides with WD-40.  Let it soak for 24 hours or overnight.  Always realign the ties as you go along bending it.  Use a cotton cloth (old tee shirts are good) to wipe the track dry.  You need to do this even with new track right out of the box.  It usually arrives dirty from the factory and needs to be cleaned anyway.

Just filled a garbage can with old Gargraves track. I save some for sidings but have found it's just not worth the work to get it back in operation. If you want this track free you can pick it up before five Monday morning. Don
