My father in law has recently died, a former toolmaker with many hobbies and interests, and an avid collector, it's been quite a challenge to clear everything that mother in law wanted shot of. In addition I have also been conducting my own clear out.
I have used a combination of eBay, Facebook, Gumtree, cycle jumble and auction house.
It's costly but a good auction house with a strong online presence is definitely the easiest option.
I'm lucky to have a good one three miles away, but once you've delivered, or had collected, the items it's just wait for the bank account to be credited. 20% of selling price, plus listing fee, insurance and vat certainly bite hard, but so simple.
