Value is very dependent upon condition and rarity of vehicle.  Some cars are 
said to sell for upwards of $200 EACH, while others are in the .50-1.00 
nge.
I have found several books on collection and valuing Hot Wheels (nothing to 
date on Matchbox, but I am not as interested in them personally), and can 
only say to scan a major bookstore in the "Collecting" shelves and see if you 
can find one.
I did read somewhere that there is a store that mail-order buys/sells Hot 
Wheels, but I am not sure if I was browsing or buying when I read that.
As an owner of several hundred vehicles, it would be interesting to see which 
ones you have.  I'd like to make you an offer, but cash is a seldom seen item 
in this house anymore.  I could trade for computer equipment, but valuation 
is a big issue, for both of us.
