I have to say that it has been my observation that the for sale value of used modern, post-war and pre-war trains seems to depend on the venue in which they are offered. I watch and participate on E-Bay, I watch and participate on our Buy/sell forum and I also watch and participate in various internet auctions. While things may be slow here and on E-Bay they certainly aren't slow on the auction sites. Everything goes and most of it goes above what the auction site quotes as the estimated value of the piece. A lot of the stuff is in great condition but some of it is not and it still goes for a high price. Also, it should be taken into consideration that these auction sites demand a buyer's premium which is as high as 19% but despite that fact the bidding is fast and furious and I would dare say the items are going for a heck of a lot more than 20% of their original purchase price. Bottom line, from my perspective if you are selling them at the right place they will not sit.
