Thinking of moving from N to OO gauge - advice appreciated

[GWR_XC]

As title suggests

I am thinking of switching from N to OO gauge as it has many more of the models that appeal to me

Question is I have a very large collection in N gauge - mainly modern stuff from 1970s to present day era

Everything from early Poole farish stuff to dcc sound models etc

Not a chance I would ever sell to a retailer or reseller so the obvious place to list would be eBay I guess

I just thought tho if anyone knows who would be interested in doing swaps for N to OO gauge - just an idea and probably a long shot with what I am looking for, still worth an ask

Or alternatively a good place to sell N gauge - would a model railway exhibition be a good idea?

Why not use the N'Porium linked to this forum?
I sold a lot through eBay some years ago and it was a pain with packing up then posting many individual items. I also sold via an auction house when moving on some relatives items which were HO gauge; try Vectis, Wessex Auctions, or SAS Auctions. I also contacted some model railway shops and sent pictures of all the items (75) and got a good response from Hampshire Models where I did eventually sell the HO trams.
HTH.

When my late father passed away he had a LOT (several thousand)  of model vehicles in all scales.

I started to sell some of the larger items via Ebay but very soon lost the will to live as it was such an arduous process packaging and posting everything.

Like @Firstone18 I ended up using Wessex Auctions.
They provided a first class service. It was good fun watching the various lots sell in their live on-line auction.

Thanks both of you for the advice - I hadn't thought of auction house - so something to consider

Yes eBay can be a pain but would rather do that myself then sell to retailers etc

I just thought worth asking on this forum first as you never know could be some folk open to swapping.

As I do have some nice stuff, rare sought after etc, think I got around 31 dapol hst sets, and hundreds of locos & rolling stock

You still have to do that using the N'porium and provide pics of every item but,yes, I've sold a lot through the forum
