I’m sure you got auto-corrected and meant to say Trainz.

I believe that it is Trainz.

My (unsponsored) testimonial for Stout Auctions ...

They sold my Rock Island oriented collection of trains plus accessories and control gear in one weekend -- eight pages of inventory listings. They picked up the items, took  pictures, grouped items together, and posted it all on their website.  I received a check promptly thereafter. Their service was convenient, efficient, and honest.

A cautionary note - you'll likely receive about one-third of the value you believe your trains are worth.  Some top-rated trains will attract bidders willing to pay a top price. However, it is inherent in the auction sale environment that potential bidders tend to be bargain hunters seeking a really good deal. That is what it is, so adjust your expectations accordingly.

Carry on, regardless ...

Hi - have tried to reach out for  picking and buying my collection - i an downsizing and do not want to spend the time selling it piecemeal  i saw adds in OGR and contacted someone but has not responded yet - wondering what the best option might be - i am in North Carolina  my items are all in as new condition and boxed and ready to go   ideas?/suggestions?

FYI, I just recently estimated someone's collection for when they decided to sell.  As there was nothing i was interested in personally, they contacted TRAINZ, which is in Georgia i think, who paid within $500 of my estimate.  They sent instructions for shipping everything and i believe paid for shipping.

@Farmall-Joe: Based on my experience the only thing I’d say (with tongue in cheek) about Trainz “paying for shipping” is IMO the Seller is actually paying for it as reflected in the estimate Trainz provides to the Seller.
