Before we start I'm not going against Forum Rules and looking to sell things through here (and I've discussed with other Admins first) Rather, I'm unaware of anywhere where things LU-related can be sold other than eBay, which seems like the wild west. I've got a C-Stock destination blind which I bought soon after their scrapping and has been mainly in the boot of my car since then. Unfortunately I doubt I'll have the time to restore it any time soon. Ideally I'd like to avoid eBay but wonder if there are specialist alternatives?   |

Search for GWRA and Railwayana websites as they occasionally host the sort of specialist interest auctions which tend to attract the sort of serious buyers you need to attain a fair price for that destination blind .. or just want your car boot back.
For example at the last GWRA sale a platform roundel from Marble Arch achieved £1500, but I bet after auction fees, the seller got a fair bit less.

And if Flog It is anything to go by the buyer will have to pay a premium as well. This is frequently ~18%, so they may well have paid ~£1770. If the seller's fee is the same, the auction house will make £440! |

Never mind all that. Why does "Hammersmith via Paddington" get two slots?

Never mind all that. Why does "Hammersmith via Paddington" get two slots? Maybe one for Circle and one for H&C? As they are near each end of the list, it may be to avoid having to wind the blind very far, which involves wear and tear on both the blind and the operator. I note that Barking (the other end of the H&C) and Edgware Road (the other end of the Circle) are close to the respective Hammersmiths "Not in service" also appears twice |
