I have ran into this same situation.I am an HVAC contractor and a woman asked me to look at her husbands collection.It was old Tyco and Bachmann junk,N scale and HO scale.There was one Atlas N scale engine and a few Minitrix items.Basically old 1970s stuff with no value.There was some old Lionel template that I told her to keep and sell.I would not take the valuable items at the price she wanted for the stuff.It basically took me more time to haul the junk out of there than any money I made on any of it.I kept some of the buildings and a few odds and ends.The rest was junk track.Did I cheat her?No.I told her to keep anything that would be any value,I was totally honest with her.Would I have done what PBJ did?,NO.Brass locos are valuable.I will no longer take any old Tyco/Bachmann 1970s stuff home because it is more BS to deal with than it is worth.Dan
