Estate clearing. Includes Peugeot 206 and trailer content. Help needed.

[pandamonium]

My partner's father has passed away and we need to sell things to raise money for the funeral and pay off his debts.

These include the following categories:

Fishing equipment - lots.
Cameras.
Woodwork tools.
Electric bikes in various states, homemade batteries, controllers etc.
Welders
Tools - lots.
Battered and well used 1999 Peugeot 206 1.4 with long Mot and towbar. 144k miles.
Small trailer.
2 x electric awnings/canopies.

Looking for persons who know these genres to help value / buy / make offers.

Obviously the car is more of an Autoshite thing, but hoping persons can help advise on the rest?

Pics to follow or on request.

 

 

He was 79 and still active in his workshop, so it was quite a shock.

Sorry to hear of the FiLs passing .whereabouts in the UK is the stuff to be cleared?

[Lacquer Peel]

More info on the cameras please. Sorry to hear of his passing.

[ruffgeezer]

Sorry for your loss, I'm happy to have a look through what you have there and see if I can give valuations on tools/ welders etc.

 

Where in the country are you?

[Tickman]

Sorry for your loss,

 

 ...and pay off his debts.

 

 

Please be aware a lot of debts are wiped in the circumstances, most companies (banks included) do not let you know this and will attempt to collect. Citizens advice would know better.

[DodgeRover]

^^^ this. Sorry for your loss though.

 

Also if you need to value for probate, put it all down as scrap and minus off the price of a skip for the rest.

 

Whatever actually happens later is up to you.

[Matt]

Requesting more info on cameras too. Awful time of year for this to happen, sorry to hear about it.

[lesapandre]

From the kit it sounds a life well-lived. Sorry to hear

[bub2006]

Sorry to hear of your losses. I may be interested in fishing tackle.

[djoptix]

Commiserations. I'd be interested in Pentax or Canon camera kit, and also in sparkly stick equipment, depending on location.

 

Happy to help out valuing camera stuff in general.

[pandamonium]

I'll get more info as and when I can.

 

Think camera stuff is Olympic.

 

Located in Snodland, Kent.

[purplebargeken]

That is really sad to hear, condolences to all

 

A working bit of electric bike shite would be helpful if at some point there might be some info.

 

Cheers

 

Ken

Sorry to hear of your loss, if/when you get chance stick loads of pictures and brief description of the stuff up and hopefully we can all try and find you new homes for it.

A couple of pics I grabbed today.

This.  Condolences to you all, and best of luck with the sales.  I hope you can raise what you need, in time; those power tools look like they'll help.

[Cavcraft]

Trailer's got to be worth £100-£130 of anyone's money.

 

*Edit: if there's any really old wood working tools in there, if you get chance try and Google each one as some are worth very good money I believe. Understand you have more important things on your mind right now though, so if it's quicker try and photograph each one and we'll see what we can do.

Couple more I took yesterday 

[DodgeRover]

I would possibly be interested in a compressor and air tools, maybe a welder depending on what it is, I spotted a 110v transformer - it would be worth posting up if power tools are 110

[M'coli]

I'm sorry to hear of your loss, and quite apart from the emotional aspects of it, trying to organise things at this time of year is especially fraught, what with so many bank holidays and the like (my mum died 9 years ago today, so I know what it's like).

 

On an entirely practical level, don't worry about the debts, by law funeral costs and the like come first from a person's estate, so concentrate on that.

 

This is the one area of life where no-one talks about it - weddings, babies, every one has an opinion on and it's not a taboo subject, but what happens after a family member passes? Nope...

[somewhatfoolish]

Welder looks like a Cebora 130 turbomig; they're decent hobby-level welders, if it's working it's worth £100-150 or so.

 

Startrite bench drill is good quality british made gear; depending on the model in working condition worth £150-250.

 

Wood turning lathe looks decent enough, not oldschool cast iron but still probably worth ~£150 or so. The chisels/gouges if a decent brand might be worth the same again.

 

Bandsaw isn't a quality make but still worth £50 if it's running ok.

 

The little things could also add up; the yellow box is a 240v to 110v transformer, they fetch £40-50 all day, pneumatic impact wrench depends on make but a brandname upwards of £40, power fretsaw again dependent on make but maybe £30-40 even for a cheap one.

 

When you're photographing stuff if you can get a shot of maker's data plates it's a lot easier to offer an opinion of value.

[Slartibartfast]

I'm not able to offer any sensible advice but I'm very sorry for your and your partner's loss. He seems a cheerful looking chap. I wish you all the best in sorting everything out.

[chodweaver]

Sorry for your loss. He looks to have been a man happiest when in his workshop.

He certainly was.

 

He has all sorts of homemade contraptions that he built and had recently become obsessed with electric bikes, even building battery packs.

 

It's good he stayed active right to the last, I don't think he would have liked it any other way.

 

We are off to pick up the car and trailer now, pics soon.

I think a lot of people, myself included, would want the same ourselves.

Do we think a roffle may be the best option? 

[Bren]

Condolences Pandamonium.

I am sure it will all shift but it is probably the last thing you feel like doing right now.

[DSdriver]

We have got a 206 just like that but on a W plate, the insurance company just said it was worth £275 in the trade and then offered a discount for an excess of £350.

Go figure!

[purplebargeken]

I think he might have loved the concept of roffling. Go for it Sir.

[pandamonium]

[pandamonium]

Will do a separate post for the car / trailer roffle.
