#1) QUESTION "What is The Exchange?"
ANSWER: The Exchange is an area that contains fine brass models that have been consigned through Brass Guide. In the coming months we will also have a "Dealer and Classifieds" section to further enhance your buying and selling experience.
#2) QUESTION "What makes The Exchange so different for the Buyer?"
ANSWER: The Exchange is unlike any other consignment shop in that we are here for not only the buyer, but also the seller. A potential buyer on The Exchange is assured that the item he is contemplating to purchase has already undergone some of the most detailed scrutiny in the industry. Each model listed by Brass Guide will be completely analyzed and Graded on overall Appearance, Mechanical/Electrical Performance and Box Condition. In addition, any Custom Modifications such and Sound, Custom Paint, Lights, etc. are factored into the overall grade. This Grade is then systematically entered into our Grading Calculator and compared to the Current Market Value as noted in the latest edition of the Brass Model Trains Price and Data Guide, and a overall value is determined. A final Certificate of Appraisal, which is Sealed and Certified by Brass Guide, is shipped with each model that is sold as proof of the value of that piece. By the way, what we did not mention yet is that each model we consign receives the most incredible photography of your potential model. Before you buy, you will be able to examine practically every detail of your model by use of our "Zoomify" system. Simply click on the photo of any model listed in The Exchange and you will be redirected to the details page where our Zoomify is located. There you can zoom in on a model using the tools in the Zoomify window or simply choose "View Large Image" to get an immediate magnification of the photo. We are confident that you will agree that The Exchange is the most powerful tool for consignment of brass model trains on the internet today. This is the one place that you are assured of what you are buying before you make the purchase.
