Dissolution of private model railway collection (private seller), separate sale of identical items

Question

Hello,as a private model railway enthusiast, I’m selling off my private collection. ebay refuses the separate sale of identical wagons. The methods listed in the help via fixed price->... are not shown in the input form. Here, the description does not match the input forms or the functionality. How do you handle something like this?

Hello Peter,

with Fleischmann and Roco there are no differences there, except for the number on the inspection slip.

Without the original packaging it gets difficult then. Thanks anyway for the tip, then I'll take the inspection slip with me too, if available...

Best regards

Hi @thobi_2519

If the wagons really are the same, whether with original packaging or without original packaging, you can just increase the quantity of the listing to X.

In the case of Märklin, however, I know from experience that the printing code on the original packaging is very important for many collectors, since it also contains the year of the print.

In that case you can either work with variants or list the items individually, but then include the printing code accordingly in the item description.
