I understand that this is a very vague question to ask but here goes. I have been offered to minis as a package take all or nothing deal. The current owner collects cars as a hobby and has had these sitting there for sometime and wants them gone. I'm undecided on if l will keep them or on sell, I won't be able to get pics/ inspect until mid next week.

Car one:- leyland mini stock and original , blue in colour and 10 inch rims, tombstone seats needs body work has a fair bit of rust usual places, running when stored. I'm guessing $1000 to $1500

Car two:- from what l have been told leyland mini with flip front round nose, body average interior average, Suzuki gti motor installed,12 inch rims, disks, unfinished project needs wiring. I have no idea on $ value

Ebay would be my intention, but I'm worried that there wouldn't be a profit in it.

I'd say the 1st one would be closer to $1000 or less, the 2nd depending on how well and how far the engine swap has progressed could be anywhere between $1000 and $5000.
Think about what the price of the parts are as they sit if you were to part them out or buy the same parts on the current market. Another way to look at it is, is what's the cost of restoring/finishing them and what will they be worth when finished?

Second car is worth less than the first one without pics.
Wont be engineered, subframe could be rubbish, may not have driveshafts, engine could be stuffed.
I'd call that buying someone elses problems.
