Hi,
Our museum is starting a major exhibits renovation project and we are replacing two of our existing large dinosaur models with different species that are a better fit to our location. We would like to find a new home for the de-installed models. Have any of you (or your colleagues) faced a similar task and would you be willing to share how you were able to find your models new homes? We would prefer to get some money for them, obviously. Half of you are probably saying "eBay" and we are considering that, but in order to convince our administration that this is the way to go it would be helpful to hear of other museums' experiences with this platform. We're also looking at auction houses and would appreciate suggestions of ones that deal in dinosaur models on a regular basis.
Thanks for any suggestions offered! Best wishes- Jean
