My late Father in Law built some Pocher Models and a bespoke glass showcase some years back. We just moved my Mother in Law into a new bungalow and are stumped as to what to do with them! She just doesnt have a good location for them in the new place

Is there any interest in these types of models? Any idea who would want them? How to sell? Im guessing eBay? Are there any modelling forums out there?

One is a Rolls Royce, the other is a Alfa 8C

Some pictures attached

Any help or advice greatly appreciated?

I don’t know much but I do know that there is an interest in these models, even when built. I would suggest either EBay or a specialist auction house for valuation, depending on how much work you want to do yourself.

As well as eBay, try Facebook groups. There a few groups specifically for buying/selling and restoring Pocher models.
There are modellers who buy built models to strip down and rebuild. Very little glue involved in the builds, so relatively easy to take apart.
Many of these kits are 50+ years old, and quite sought after.
