AndyMac1707817969 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Hi JacquiIf it is set R696 then you would be looking at anything between £25 and and £50. That is what they currently sell on eBay for. Commission on eBay is 10% and payment via PayPal another 5% approx. No point in going anywhere else to sell it, as all they will do is put it on eBay and add their own percentage as well.Selling it directly on eBay will mean you will get the most for it. Don't sell it as an auction, list it as a Buy It Now for whatever you are happy with.Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyMac1707817969 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 R824 was a 255 train set. Seems to be a newer one than the R696. They seem to go on eBay for around £60 to £75http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-OO-gauge-R824-225-Intercity-Train-set-/152033295404You will get a better price probably by breaking it up and selling train, track and controller separately. That way it is also easier to post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessio Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 On this note, I also have an R.824 set which I bought with a few issues which I have rectified. I had planned to sell as a full set but the carboard box is in really poor condition (polystyrene's okay though). Is splitting to sell my best option then?Would I be best trying to sell the 91, DVT and mkIVs as a pack of 4 or individually? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyMac1707817969 Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 If you are looking the current market value of any Hornby second-hand item then just go to ebay.co.uk, enter the item in the search 'Hornby R824' and when the results are displayed scroll down till you see the tick boxes on the left Completed listingsSold listing Tick the sold listingsWhat someone lists something for is not necessarily what they are currently selling for. Ebay sets the second hand price of most model railway items these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppasmurf Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 There is the Model Railway Trading Group on Facebook which you can join and sell things commission free. Most people on there seem to accept Paypal or bank transfer. I sold a couple of Select Controllers on there a couple of months ago for £40 each with no hassle whatsover. Saves on eBay fees.
