Folks,
Some of you may remember Kim Smith aka "Chessie Man" a frequent OGR forum poster. If you followed Kim's posts you know that he passed away about 2 years ago. He had a very large collection of new in box Atlas, Lionel, MTH, 3rd rail, Golden Gate, etc. trains as well as a collection of diecast vehicles.
I assisted Kim's widow in selling all of the trains which were purchased primarily by Beth Marshall of the Public Delivery Track and Jeff Dobslaw of JD's trains.
The diecast vehicles still remain and I am looking for advice on possible auction houses to dispose of this collection located in northern VA. Ms Smith does not want to do individual or ebay sales. I have contacted a well known auction house run by a TCA member and never received the courtesy of a return call or e-mail after numerous attempts to reach them.
Do any of you have suggestions for auction houses that would deal with this collection of new in box pieces of mostly 1/43 vehicles including First Gear, PEM, and numerous others? There are approximately 550 total pieces including cars, construction equipment, 18 wheelers, etc.
Thank you in advance.
