[34C]

You will obtain better prices selling privately, but there's the downside of much effort: some purchasers will want photographs, and then there's packing and posting / parcel delivery service engagement.

Exactly 34C. All that hassle whilst my life is already busy. The appeal of eBay as a seller has worn off. The compromise of offering my list to MRF members and then bundling up what is left and running it up to Sheffield is attractive.

I am looking to go fully bullhead on the depot layout and I believe that taking a credit with Rails rather than cash increases what they offer me. Hopefully that still holds true.

I started to catalogue the rolling stock that I wish to sell and first off the shelf came 8 BR wagons that have never been taken out of their boxes .............

4 x Bachmann 38-325 plus 4 x Bachmann 38 -327

I am astonished at the prices asked on eBay. I notice that some bundle up a few wagons and set them up for auction and that method would go some way to limit the number of parcels needing to be made up and posted. Perhaps just a couple of wagon or coach selections per week. I have to do something because the actions of one Vladimir Putin has meant the emptying of wardrobes in the spare bedroom; our guest needed somewhere to store her clothes even though she arrived with just one suitcase. The top of my study bookshelves are groaning as well as the layout downstairs in the converted garage being unusable as the operating well is crammed with boxes. I know, compared with the plight of many on this planet my situation is laughable. I should be ashamed.
