    Sadly, my father-in-law passed away recently. While clearing out his home, we discovered a substantial collection of Ferrari memorabilia — hundreds of items, most of them untouched and in near-new condition. He was a proud owner of a Ferrari Dino 246 GT and an active member of the Ferrari Owners Club from the 1970s through the late 1990s.

    I’ve started listing some of the items on eBay, but given the volume and quality, I’m wondering if it might be better to work with a specialist auction house or dealer who understands this niche and can help place these items in the hands of passionate collectors — ideally Ferrari owners who would truly appreciate them.

    Whilst there used to be some specialists who may be interested (one or two of whom have been on here from time to time) the time of selling piecemeal for often relatively low sums (esp 80s/90s items) suggest talking to someone like Iconic about a lump sale

    Welcome to the forum, Alan. Condolences on the passing of your father in law.

    Perhaps you could organize a general description of what you have: books, parts, yearbooks, manuals, accessories, collectibles, documents, etc. Someone here will be able to help, and you might even find some interested buyers here.

    In the meantime, can you post a link to one of your eBay auctions? I’d like to take a look.
