Selling Your Collection
If you are ready to sell your trains then you probably want to convert your collection into money in your pocket in the easiest, fastest way. And whoever buys your collection wants to turn around and sell those trains. That's business. Texas Trains has been doing just that for 30 years. We've traveled all over the U.S. to buy collections. Including Alaska!
• Get Started. The first thing you need to do is make a list of what you have to sell. It needs to have enough detail to identify each item or group of items and it helps if it has some organization. But don't worry...you're not being graded. This list helps us make our evaluation but it also helps you. Be sure to include everything you want to sell. WE BUY ENTIRE COLLECTIONS.
• Condition Counts! Try to be realistic about condition. With the exception of "Factory Sealed", condition can be pretty subjective. Just give us a general, overall idea to start with. Look at what you have as if YOU were the buyer.
• Send Us Your List. If you have a selling price in mind please include it also. You can mail your list, send it via e-mail (PDF, Word or Excel file is fine). Information is on our Contact page. Please include details of how we can get in touch with you.
• We will look over your list and get back with you as quickly as possible with an offer or additional questions. Our experience in buying and selling gives us a very reliable sense of current fair market value on which we will base our offer.
• Once a price is agreed upon we will send you a contract and usually a retainer as we make arrangements to do our thing.
