discussion My Stuff On Ebay.........

[takeslousyphotos]

Well maybe I'm being over Ambitious............. But I've put a few of my completed models on Evilbay ............ I have nowhere to display them, and "Er Indoors" is getting a bit techy about them being on the dining table ......... So we'll see what happens ????


I don't know what else to do with them......... I don't want to bin them. I'd rather give them away............. Maybe, the local scouts or Cadets of some kind might want 'em ??? But I don't know who to contact on that.......... But one way or another they have to go.

I was careful to put "Paint Slapped On With A Yard Broom..........and The Bits I Never Bothered To Fit Are In A Bag"

you won't sell many kits with that advertising strategy

Yeah, bad paint is one thing but when the rivet counters hear that screw x is missing from hole y in the fully enclosed and glued together engine Bay... Your proper snookered, the internets will fold in on its self

You should have no problems peter , there seems to be plenty of collectors who either havent got the time or skill to make their own. I started selling a few of mine for the same reason , the cabinet in the garage was full so I had to make room for any new builds. I never really made any serious money , I think the most i ever got was about £20 for one ,the majority going for about £5 but its all money towards new purchases isnt it!

A lot of luck is involved in eBay selling.

I sold my King Tiger dio to an Italian collector of /;72 scale armour for £60, but it could easily have sold for far less.

I'll just be happy to get something for them and keep er-indoors happy......... No bids yet. But there are a few "watchers on each of them ......... Fingers crossed.

Honesty is always the best policy Peter. Ethics and all that

How on earth did you get that to Italy in one piece ? I mean, it did make it in one piece didn't it ?

I wondered that as well

It did make it there in fine condition!


I bought a circular plastic cake container from a Poundshop, drilled some screws through the base of that into the bottom of the dio base & then placed that in a box with plenty of chipfill

Why don't you ask your local hobby store if they will display them for their customers, you might get a commission out of it, my local shop has agreed to display a few of mine, he seems very keen too as a matter of fact.

Amazing. I can just imagine this box being chucked around the place, and yet somehow, it and its contents survived.

I used to provide some of the models on display, at one of our local model shops years ago. (when we had some)


They provided me with the models at a reduced price, and they put them on display for a number of months.


Unfortunately this was the main shop front window, and several of the models warped/bleached during the summer period.

Offer the shop a commission if they sell any on your behalf. You'd pay ebay 15% and have all the hassle of packaging and posting. Maybe the shop owner could offer a voucher towards your next purchase instead of giving you cash.

Local Model Shops are becoming less and less, because of the internet. It seems that most people seem to buy on line these days. The only shop, well store really, that sells models in our town is Hobbycraft. But there prices seem a bit over the top.
