Title: Model Railway Auctions
Post by: longbow on January 16, 2019, 09:06:08 PM
There are a number of auction sites that specialise in model railway stuff - example below (use the Filter to select N Gauge lots). Estimate prices are often inaccurate and there's a 10-20% buyer's premium to add on top. In N Gauge it's often older stuff that's offered. Nonetheless there are bargains to be had and it's straightforward to bid online.

This aggregator website is used by most auction houses and you can set up alerts for model railway stuff.

These auctions are frequented by traders and I have seen quite a few items reappear quickly on eBay at a hefty mark-up!
