  • Selling Train Collection

    From loriradford@aol.com@21:1/5 to All on Thu May 21 09:51:28 2020
    Hello,
    I am new to this site. My father in law recently passed leaving a train collection of mostly pre war but some post war trains. Any ideas who might be interested in buying the whole collection? Thanks for any help.

    Suggest in photographing the whole lot and try to sell on ebay. Do
    include the background story. For a lot of people makes it more
    interesting of valuable.

    My sympathies on your loss.

    Get his friends to identify the pieces, and search ebay to get some
    idea of their value, taking into account their condition. Then sell
    via ebay rather than a local shop - you'll get a better deal.

    One of the problems when a collector dies, is that the vultures gather
    round - so don't sell to the friends until you have a good idea of the
    value.
