Reply to "WHERE to sell or WHO to use to liquidate huge train inventory?"

I would love to see  what database Trainz -  "Once we have made an inventory of the collection, we will send the trains through our proprietary Trainz valuation process, to determine the Market Value of the trains.", uses as a reference.  I know they get a bit odd on pricing,  some things start out at a good price, others quite a bit high.   I am watching 2 specialty cars they have, one is new in the box, one is used, the NIB started out cheaper than the used boxless one, but now after several weeks they are neck and neck.  The longer something remains unsold at Trainz, the less expensive it gets.  If there is anything you just can't seem to get a handle on is what the price of any train item constitutes a good deal.  You use Greenberg's and people say that is a waste, you try and use what things have sold for on places like Ebay, and you see where identical items and sets in identical condition can sell for an amazing difference, $50 for this one, and $200 for its competition.  I think it is all a galactic alignment of a particular item, listed at a certain price, and a particular buyer that wants it, all converging at the same time and space.    I think in Vegas, this is called a crap shoot, throw in caveat emptor, PT Barnum's observation of a sucker born every minute, and let the wheeling and dealing begin.

I myself would not use them after reading up on what they'll pay.
