Catawiki auction site, Europe
Posted by railandsail on Saturday, November 24, 2018 8:23 AM

Has anyone heard of, and/or utilized this site based in Europe

Catawiki was founded in 2008; it was originally designed as a website where collectors could manage and keep track of their collections online. Visitors can still add new items to the existing catalogue of collectables. Unsurprisingly, the name Catawiki is a combination of the words ‘catalogue’ and ‘wiki’. In 2011, Catawiki began hosting weekly auctions in various categories, including art, antiques, classic cars, watches, jewellery, fashion, books, and stamps.

So nobody has used this site??

I was thinking it might be a good place to sell a lot of Fleischmann turnouts I have,..turnouts that are designed to be used with the European style wheels.

Plus a few other items that might find a better market than here in the USA.

Never heard of it.  But now that I have, shipping from US to Europe would probably not make it worth it to sell stuff by US sellers.

But just because you have European stuff to sell, have you tried to sell it on HOSwap or Ebay?  Likewise, I know US trains are VERY popular in the UK.  Possibly also in mainland Europe.

But hey, you never know.

You could pm Tinplate Toddler, who used to be Sir Mad Dog.  He is near Hamburg and has a vast amount of knowledge about both European and US MR.
