[Closed] Auctions ..............

Auctions ..............

In the UK if you want to find something cheaply one heads out to an auction.
There are enough day time TV shows that bear this out.

Relating to model car collecting the same thing manifests itself.
Unfortunately, the press only seem to publish prices that fetch far higher than
the estimates. Rarely do they say how cheap this one went for!

If one wishes to dispose of a collection, or part there of, then auctions do
provide a means to an end. Whether the medium used is the internet or an
auction house is up to the seller. However, auction houses these days only
want a significant collection such as the recent "Models of Yesteryear"
collection that was the property of a well known collector and article writer.

What an auction house will provide are experts in their field who will use their
knowledge to ascertain a price range for each lot.

Unfortunately, this guidance and advice is not available to individuals wishing
to sell on their own accord. The seller has then to engage in conducting
research to find out what similar lots have achieved.

In this last aspect I would like to feel that members of these Legacy Fora could
provide guidance on this matter. Whether it is accepted is a matter of choice
to the seller.
