Not a good situation to be in!

Very much doubtful I'll be bidding but best of luck selling 🤞👍

Thanks for posting but I cant help thinking that this isn't the best way to get maximum value for the cars. 15% plus vat seems a large amount to lose from each sale.

Good luck though

Good luck with the sale. With both my parents in privately funded care homes I know the problems that you face. Please please set sensible reserves. It is better to walk away than take a stupid figure. I also agree with some of the other comments regarding commission. 15% + vat is a lot of money on something as potentially valuable as the 959.? I wish there were a better way but I realise that by using an Auction house they take away all the hassle of selling.

👍🤞🏻

Hi all, without going into any detail I am just helping out my friend to dispose of these rc cars, I just happened to know a little more about them than he did and no one else in his family was interested. Its a very large collection and his uncle had to move out and the cars had to go! I'm on the fringe advising but I'm not part of the family if you see what I mean!
