I have some sectional NS track 9" straight and 22" rad curved. I know I have 100 pcs of the curve.
one complete Passenger train... it is a PRR with a PA and PB and one of each Athearn Passenger car. Loco's are Athearn as well.. PA is Powered, PB is not. They are basically brand new
Also have a PRR GG1 made by Pemco
and shortly I will have 2 MRC TECH II 2500 Locomotion power packs along with a Dual Loco Pack 5 (I think that is the name)
where can I list it other than Ebay and how much do you think I could get for it??

The one problem with HO is that there is not a "collector" market like for the older toy trains. My experience is that if it is preowned -- no matter how "like new" it is, the bestr you can expect is probably about 1/2 of retail price. In my part of the country (North east) there are a lot of train shows or swap meet. They are excellent places to sell. I have had great luck selling train stuff at our community annual "garage sale day" in the summer, also. Or -- are there any HO clubs in your area? Check them out. Nothing like a concentrated group of people with the same interest. Good luck!

Thanks,
I am honestly not looking for top dollar. Since all the stuff can still be purchased new..
I was thinking like 50 for the complete PRR Passenger set and another $15 for the GG1

Jeff, I think that is a reasonable price (and I just switched to N scale...man when the deals come along, I'm always out of the room!). The advantage of e-bay is that you can set a reserve price (say 50 dollars) and see where the bidding goes from there. One other possibility is to simply put an ad in your local news paper. Hope it all works out and Happy Modeling!! John

If you are a member of the NMRA, then you will find there are generally local meetings for your region. At these meetings they generally have swap meets or auctions. Either should be a good way to unload excess stuff, and of course find more stuff. I usually gome back with more then I bring, but it is a good way to sell off items like you have.
