Reply to "selling my trains"

I have bought items from Trainz

Their auctions are like ebay.

Good pics, good description and grading. I pay right away when I win and they have packaged well and shipped fast w/ tracking. Had no problems. They seem to know the market.

 The thing to remember about an auction....not every piece can have a reserve. The auction house sets the opening bid. If there is not alot of interest that day, things sell cheap. Yes they advertise and email and mail registered bidders and known collectors. But if something else is going on, on the day of your auction..a car show,  a flea market, toy show, a major ongoing news event the auction might suffer. You could have something very rare but the market is soft and there are "other" very rare items to compete with.

Told you all my wristwatch story. My market was too limited, too local. Ebay would have given me a broader base of bidders and a longer duration for bidders. There are Ebay resellers who do consignments, again at 30%+.
