Hornby and Triang model railways

[vicious_sid]

Hi All,
I have been trying to sell a small layout for a neighbour who has had to go into a care home, I've googled and checked local press but can't seem to find too many people who can answer emails or return phone calls (thats sarcasm by the way :-))
Does anyone have any ideas

If it helps, I'm based in Maidstone, Kent

Try phoning Peco Publications who do Railway Modeller. There is an advert form in each issue, but to save you hving to buy a copy, hopefully they will take an ad over the phone. Rates are 15p/word for a private ad, with a �3.50 +Vat minimum. Tel no is 01297 20580 (I think there should be another digit, but thats what it says!!) or e mail the at [email protected]

I should think the older the set is, the more valuable it�s likely to be. Try searching for similar items on Ebay, which will give you a good idea of the value. Then take as many good digital photos as you can, and list it for sale, setting the starting price at the lowest figure you�d be prepared to accept. You�d have a lot more potential buyers that way compared to the local papers. Make it available to overseas buyers too, especially the USA.

You could try Vectis toy auctions. They have regular train sales.

Very often these sets come up on Antique Road show / Bargain Hunt, I have seen them on there with boxes in mint condition & bring very little money, look on eBay for prices then go on Gumtree / your local ads sites & there are many, have a price that you think suitable then put a price above so you can reduce to sell it, re/ the box state everything regards the condition eg/ Scratches / tear in the box, to save postage "Buyer to collect" UK Sales only.
