Where to sell electrical equipment, tools & cables

[Joanie]

My Dad was a self employed electrician for 50 odd years. He sadly passed away in November and we have so much electrical & pluming stuff we don't know what to do with it. There's all types of cables, some still boxed or unused reels, and loads of tools, switches - you name it he had it.
Any suggestions where we could sell it? Small selection shown in attached photos

It might be worth talking to a local auction house to see if they would deal with the sale of it all. There are a few that specialise in this market.

Otherwise if you are able to spend time on listing batches on eBay, that would probably maximise the return. There is a degree of risk and hassle, but deals generally work out.

There are also people/shops who will sell things oneBay for you for a commission.

Any of the above should result in the tools and spares ultimately going to people who can use them!

Thank you, will see if there's an auction house. Would be a shame for them to be wasted and if I can raise some funds for my mum all the better!

I could do a full list & photos of what's there if you're interested?

If you make a list and put it up on the "For Sale" section I am sure it would be of interest.
