Another Great Free Box Find. Need some Advice

Emailed a guy on craigslist giving all this away. He moved into a new house and they left all these tracks and he didn't want anything to do with them. So I stopped over and picked them up. This was actually a few weeks ago, but I just got to sorting through them all today.

My dad and I actually had these tracks when I was a kid, but I don't know anything about them really.

Aurora AFX tracks (TOMY)...anyone here educated with these tracks? There weren't any cars with it so I'm not able to race around on them. Is this something I should test before selling? I don't think there is anything electrical with the tracks so they should be fine, except for the one or two where the controllers plug into.

The prices for sold track listings on ebay are kind of vague. I'm not sure how much all this is worth as a fair price overall. Do you think I should sort these out and sell them in individual lots, based on the kind of track (similar track) in each lot? I sort of want to just list them all together, but I know I won't get as much.

They were fun to sort through, and being free just makes it soo much better.

All the tracks seem to be the same "generation" make. 1980s, all Aurora AFX

I emailed myself a list of the track pieces when I was sorting them for inventory and future ebay listing.

Me and my brother had the pre 70's AFX HO model cars. There was a big track to take them to at a local hobby shop and race with all the other kids. We'd modify them with silicone slicks and silver motor contacts. I'd sell all what you have, as it looks like enough to get in to the hobby. If you pieced it out it could take for ever to get rid of it all imo.

Nice freebie. I'd sell it as a lot myself. Of course, I do have a couple race tracks sitting in the closet that I have yet to list myself so...
