@Conductor Earl posted:Good advice all. While we are on the subject of selling at a train show, like many of us on this forum, I am at the point in life where I need to try selling some of my collection. Having never tried this, from what other advice can a first timer like me benefit? I would be most grateful for your input.
Earl, if possible have the items in their original box. The importance of the box varies by train show, if it is primarily two rail and brass (The March Meet) or a local show where grandma and grandpa are looking for a 'Lionel train' for little Johnny at Christmas time. Have change for at least two C-Notes. I usually have a cloth for the surface of a table. unless the venue furnishes table cloths with the tables. Colored bedsheets seem to be okay. Have prices on tags or stick ems. Keep track of what you sell as soon as practical after the sale. Do not flash your money. John
