WHERE TO SELL YOUR MODEL TRAINS

You have many options to sell your model train collection. Looking to score full market value? If you’re willing to put in some effort, you can:

  • Sell on eBay, perhaps one of the most well-known in the world.
  • Try smaller online platforms. If what you have is strictly vintage, a platform like Etsy can be an option, but the traffic is very low – and the likelihood of making a fast sale is slim to none. 
  • Sell at your local train show. Meet other model railroad enthusiasts & connect with a network of folks to sell your model trains.
