  First you will need to determine how much you are wanting for your toy tractor. You can either come up with a price that you feel the tractor is worth, or you can look into prices for it. To do so you can take it to a local antique store and ask them how much they think it is worth. You never know, it might be worth more then what you think it is.

  Once your price has been determined it is time to put it out on the market. There are a couple of places you can put your toy tractors out on the market. The first place is http://www.craigslist.org. According to wikipedia, Craigslist is a centralized network of online communities, featuring free online classified advertisements -- with sections devoted to jobs, housing, personals, for sale, services, community, gigs, résumés, and discussion forums. On there, you will be able to post your item for sell.
  When on there click on the city and state that you are in. Next, on the far left, click on "post to classifieds". Then click on "for sale". After that, click on "toys and games". Once you have done that you will have to choose an area listed nearest you off of the list they provide. After that you can fill out the rest of the information and post it. You can leave you number or just an email as a contact means.
  
  Another option you have is selling your toy tractor on ebay, at http://www.ebay.com. Once on their Web Site click on "sell" at the top left corner. If you want, once it gets to the next page, you can find out what the average price is for a toy tractor. If you don't want to do this, you can click on "start selling". Next you will have to register, which is free. Once you have registered, you can place your item up for bid by filling out the needed information. Your item will then be bid on and the one with the highest bid at the close of the bid date will get the toy tractor. You can either ship it to them, at there expense. Or you can have them pick it up, if it is close enough to you.
