Hi Julie, welcome to the Diecast Zone. You may wish to first check...
...the "Car List & Reviews" section and determine the code number for the particular model you wish to sell. It is found here.
Then go to the "Price Archive", to check on selling prices for those models. It is found here.
Once established, based on condition and whether you have box and papers, list them in appropriate scale here.
Yell if you need any help.

I went to the car list and reviews but nothing came up? All of my cars are from Jada?

In my opinion JADA not worth the effort
They usually sell for $10-15 with the box
By the time you factor in auction fees, packing materials, your time taking pictures and listing, then trips to the post office, not much profit
I would donate them to a charity, some kids will love them
Again, just my opinion

Ryan is correct. Give them to a charity or take the to a Goodwill store
Possibly a children's hospital.

Craigslist is also another option
Just list them on your local Craigslist and see what happens. Make sure you list in your add that it is local pickup only. As far as the amount of money you might expect for them that is subjective. Ryan is right, they don't sell new in the stores for more than $20.00. I personally don't have any in my collection, but there are many collectors out there that do. If you can't sell them then donating them to a charity is a good way to go. My employer makes a donation each year at the holidays to a shelter for single mothers with children. We usually give some cash and toys and such for X-mas presents. If there's a shelter like this near you they always need toys for the kids.
