Thank you for choosing Seaside Trains to sell your collection of trains. I know this was a difficult discion and will do my best to get the most for your collection.
This is how our process works. Once I get your collection back to my office I will inventory items completely and fax or e-mail you a complete copy of items. Then I will make any necessary cleanings or repairs (extra fees may apply) so we get maximum dollars for your items. I will then group like Items together to maximize sale of these items. I will then take digital photos of your items, do research on items for your and write up a description of your items, also answer any question buyers may have about items. I ship worldwide so your items will have a world audiance and help get a maximum price. Then all you need to do is watch. But first we have some things to review.
These are the options we have for listing your items.
1. Fixed price auctionThis is when we set a price and wait for someone to buy items usually posting is for 30 days or when someone purchases item.
2. Auction formatThis format is most common. We pick a starting price and highest bidder at a determined date wins item. If you are looking for a minimum price for item we should use this as starting place. Once sale is complete we cannot go back if you do not get enough for item. So please let me know your minimum amount you would like to get for items.
How many days do you want to post item for. 7 Days is usually common format.
1. 1 day
2. 3 days
3. 5 days
4. 7 days
5. 14 days
Fees
I do not charge you anything upfront to list your items. Once your items sell, I will deduct my commission, eBay fees and PayPal fees before sending you a check for the balance. EBay and PayPal fees are usually 8% the buyer pays for shipping costs. I will send you a complete copy of all charges.
These are my 2 choices for listings Basic Listing or Listing with Repairs and Major Cleaning.
1. Basic Listing commission is 20%; this listing includes a quick cleaning and organization of items to make them look nice.
2. Listing with Repairs and Major Cleaning commission is 30 or 40% depending on repairs and cleaning which may be needed. I will advise you and we will work this out before I even take items. Only some items in your collection my fall under this section.
Terms and Conditions
I have a feedback rating on eBay of over 380 @ 99% positive feedback, I am a member of Square Trade, so bidders will bid with confidence getting us the highest price for your collection. I will do my best to sell your Items but they are not guarantee to sell. Some reason for item not to sell include too high of starting price or item is not in demand.

If buyer returns items we will have to talk about relisting items. Re listing of unsold items will cost $10.00? If you do not want to try and resell items they will be returned to your.
