.- Weiss Auctions first Toy & Train event for 2021, held online-only on February 24th, exceeded all expectations, especially in the exploding toy trains category, as 96 percent of all 500 lots found new owners in a sale that grossed around $200,000. It has inspired Philip Weiss, the owner of Weiss Auctions, to plan up to eight more train sales during this year.
Were getting in huge collections and we want to promote a category thats obviously red hot right now, Weiss said. For the February sale, we had nearly 1,500 active bidders between our site, LiveAuctioneers.com and Proxibid.com. Were always looking for new consignments, and I feel confident more great collections will come our way this year.
