List,
We've finally realized that in our lifetime (and probably for the next 2
generations as well), we will never use 90% of the inventory of parts we have
in
the barn. So, it's time to think about finding new homes for this "stuff"
and turning the barn into some sort of profitable venture . Has anyone had
experience first hand or via a friend or acquantaince with selling a standard
size barn full of parts? Specifically, here's some directed questions:
1) Should we hire an auctioner and sell all of the contents at a 2 or 3 day
on-site auction?
2) Should we chunk the parts into major categories like transmissions,
engines, body sheet metal, frames, etc and sell the chunked units either via
auction, Ebay, VTR Ad, etc?
3) Should we separate and condense all of the parts by Triumph model i.e.,
make a "pile" of anything related to TR2 through TR3B, anything related to TR4
through TR250, anything Spitfire, etc., and sell via auction, Ebay, VTR Ad,
etc?
Thanks for your thoughts,
