QUOTE I have just put four DCC chipped 00 locos for sale on Ebay as my local dealer would not accept them in part ex against Farrish N gauge stock simply because they have been fitted with DCC chips and he does not know anything about it.

That will all change in the future. As DCC gradually becomes mainstream, there will be a market for used loco's fitted with decoders (provided it's a decent one).
Who knows, in a few years time dealers might not touch anything without a decoder or socket?
