eBay
Did you know the Northwest Railway Museum has an eBay shop? An important rule that non-profit organizations like the Museum must adhere to is to make available to the public any assets they are looking to rehome after they first try to keep the items in Public Trust.
The Museum inherited a large model railway collection from its sister organization, the Bellingham Railway Museum (BRM), and has been finding new homes for BRM’s education collection through eBay. The Museum has also been working on deaccessioning duplicate items from its own library. The items listed on the Museum’s eBay store are ever-changing, so follow the store or check back often to see what’s new.
All funds raised through the Museum’s eBay store go toward improved care of its collection.
If you are planning on visiting the Museum in person, you can arrange for local pick up.
