I’ve been meaning to email you for a while but I just want to say a big thank you for all your help with selling the signs.
We’ve enjoyed the experience and are still blown away with how much they all sold for.
Thank you Alice

Dear Simon, thank you for your BACS payment received.
I was very please with the prices you achieved for my four items.
Modest commission and prompt payment. Would gladly recommend GWRA and will use you again if I can find anything suitable.
Thanks again best wishes Nev

Dear Simon
Many thanks for the prompt payment, as usual. Also many thanks for the smooth transaction of selling my railwayana collection. I doubt if I could have received a higher net realisation from any other auction house. Also thanks for pointing out the replica shed plates which I managed to sell on eBay as replicas. Your knowledge & honesty is something one rarely comes across these days. Regards Peter

Further to our phone conversation yesterday I would like to reiterate my huge thanks to you for enabling a successful sale, and for going the extra mile to arrange the prompt transfer of proceeds, this is much appreciated.
The auction experience has been smooth, seamless and enjoyable for me, both as a buyer some years ago and as a vendor this time around, and I would not hesitate to do business again should the occasion arise.
Once again many thanks and my very best wishes. Regards, Alexander.

Hi Simon,
Thank you so much, I am very impressed with how you run your auctions. Having returned to railwayana after 10 years I found it very reassuring. Well done, it must take a lot of work.
Take care, Regards Ernest

Excellent service from Simon and his team. Sent my item to them 'Special Delivery'. (An EE & Co Worksplate). They did the research, added the history and sold it for me in their July 2021 sale. Their commission charges are very fair. They look to pay vendors within 14 days. My money arrived in my bank account sooner (10 days or so). Would not hesitate to use GWRA again. Thank you

I sold a piece of railwayana via Simon and the GWRA team. I’ve never sold via auction before and Simon made the whole process easy to understand and follow. The sale day - even though online during lockdown - was exciting to watch and follow. The proceeds were transferred quickly afterwards - I’d wholeheartedly recommend GWRA.

Simon thanks again for all of your help with the LSWR Diagram books. The family was very excited to see how well they did and I'm glad they've found a new home. I've been super impressed with your business and the way it's run and on a personal level, you've been great to deal with from the very start putting my mind at ease dispatching these goods to the other side of the world. Will certainly be reaching out again if I come across anything that would be worthy or of interest to your audience.
Thanks DS

Have been mostly a buyer from Simon's business for more than 10 years now and both my husband Colin and I can equivocally say you can't find a more honest and knowledgeable person on not just railwayana but enamel signs! Customer service and reliability cannot be faulted only downfall is that he is not in OZ!

Can't recommend this auction enough. Contacted with just a query on railway sign. Was given an honest estimate , well above my previous search options, On the auction day estimate was trebled. The luck of the auction? or the trustworthy professional service provided by Simon. Cheque arrived promptly and couldn't beat the thrill of watching the live auction,

Simon and his team run a very professional auction business whilst always remaining friendly and helpful. They've always achieved excellent prices for all the items I've sold and paid out very promptly - with no hidden charges.
The auctions themselves are the most enjoyable ones that I attend and one can have full confidence in the bidding process.

I have been attending GW Railwayana Auctions for many years and seen from my perspective the tremendous growth which this auction house has generated.
I have purchased several very nice items for my collection at what I believe to be very fair prices but have also sold a few surplus items of my collection.
The service/advice I have received in both selling & purchasing has been exemplary and I believe the proprietor Simon Turner to be helpful, honest, trustworthy and totally impartial.
The venue is one of my favourites with a good selection of stall holders in three rooms and the restaurant serves up a great breakfast at "sensible" prices. Overall a great experience and deserves the 5 star rating given
