The Marklin factory from 1905 reached the highest price ever paid for an Marklin opject: € 442.800, - With the mountain from 1900 with € 215.250,- on 2nd place. The Nazi JU52 with swastikas - that was recently still owned by the Marklin family - found a new owner for just € 11.685,- LINK TO AUCTION Marco

(Mr Gaugele was fired by the Marklin liquidator Mr Pluta). The 'Auktionshaus Hohenstaufen' was dicussed before on M-users, see here: LINK Marco

With the exception of the passenger wagens with Marklin current conducting couplers, all close couplers have been replaced with Roco 40397.

Now they dump their precious exhibits on auction, perhaps the Simba Dickie group doesn’t care much after all about the history of Marklin. Or need the money really bad ??

Maybe Marklin has read that too. Marco

I think if done for a good long term stability reason its a good move, if just to pay some bills quickly it certainly is not... I also agree the market for this stuff at top dollar won't be there forever, so the few things that will bring really crazy money might be worth selling then buying back in 20 years at a large discount!

Joined: 24/09/2014(UTC) Posts: 704 Location: Luxembourg		Hi, Why do some people assume that the Märklin company has sold these items? The Siebers have an agreement with a German bank that has bought the museum collection, i.e. those items that belong to Märklin's new owners, so they can't sell any of those at an auction house. These expensive items might have been on loan to the museum and were probably not the property of the company. The owners decided to sell them a short time ago, and the image above says that two of them used to belong to members of the Märklin family, but there's no connection between them and the manufacturer any more. Best regards, Mark
		Best regards, Mark I like Märklin items produced in the 1960s or early '70s, but also digital locos & current rolling stock.
