Getting your submission ready

1. Fill in all the details and write a clear description

When you submit an object, you’ll see fields to guide you in providing the right information, such as: type of object, number of items per article number, condition, brand and scale, ,article number, quantity, railway company, series and running number, etc. These fields ensure your listing is clear, searchable, and easy for bidders to understand. A clear and true object description also increases bidders confidence and avoids post sale litigation.

Please also use the object description field to share:

• Unique features or notable history of the object
• What is included/not included (e.g. original packaging, etc.)
• Where the object came from/how it was obtained
• If the object has any flaws 

Tip: The more detail you provide, the easier it is for bidders to understand the value of your object – and the more likely it is to sell. Find here more tips on how to write a clear, accurate description.

📌 Examples of a well-written description:

“Märklin H0 - 49940 - Model Train Passenger Car (1) - Construction Car with Built-in Video Camera and Transmitter - DB

Four-axle construction car with built-in video camera and transmitter. A receiver with a power adapter and a SCART connection cable are included. Can only be used on model railways with Märklin Digital control. The video camera lens is located on the front of the car. Transmission system: PAL. Transmission frequency: 2.4 GHz. The transmit and receive channels are fixed. Length over the buffers: 27.0 cm.

The H0 car can only be powered by Märklin Digital or Märklin DELTA (only with DELTA station 6607).”

2. Great photos matter

Photos are the first thing bidders see – so make them count! We recommend including at least 10 high-quality images that clearly show the condition and details of your object. This helps bidders make informed decisions and increases your chances of a successful sale.

Your photos should include:

For all submissions:

• A 360-degree view
• Close-ups of details (engines, interiors, original boxes, certificates)
• Front and rear three-quarter views
• Underside of rolling stock to show axles and skids

For grouped submissions:

• Overview image including all objects, as well as photos of each one individually

Tip: Avoid photos with people, selfies, screenshots, copied pictures, furniture or home equipment. Use a neutral background (white or black), avoid low-quality or stock images, and aim for natural lighting. Find here more tips on how to take professional photos.

📌 Examples of good vs. bad photos:

• A good photo is clean, well-lit, and sharply focused, showing all details clearly without shadows or distractions. Poor images may be dark, cluttered, out of focus, or show dusty objects,  making it harder for bidders to assess the object.
