[QUOTE="Albervin, post: 52702, member: 586"] Magnetoman. I find Coomo's answer totally inappropriate as the need to supply a widow with a maximum return outweighs all other considerations. I would suggest a contact and discussion with a major auction house. It is amazing what can be "discussed" when a collection is offered. There should be no need for a reserve if the auction house offers a guarantee. This is where the auction house promises to buy the item should it fail to sell. Standard practice for high end art and collectibles. These people will also offer a no cost appraisal which, while non binding, is FREE. Motorcycles offered for sale in marque magazines are also an option. Marque specialists in the UK and here in Australia offer appraisals at minimum cost and are usually fairly accurate unless dealing with one off (unique) items, e.g. a bike owned by George Brough or Steve McQueen! Having said that, I have sold (subject to finalisation) a Vincent for an Australian record price without advertising it at all. [/QUOTE]
