Models on EBAY?
Posted by SNOOPY on Thursday, December 18, 2003 5:05 PM
I keep hearing people talk (well seeing not hear:)) about find kits on Ebay but every time I go to EBAY they only have a couple of kits here and there. I usually look under the toy/plastic models titles. Is there another area or different search pattern I should be trying?

Try doing a search by scale only like 1/72 or 1/48. Also search by specific kit like he-111 or sikorsky or by manufacture like MPM.

under "toys, hobbies/ models, kits" there are currently 35,718 listings. do you go to ebay.com or one of the other ones such as ebay.ca or ebay.co.uk?

The link I just posted is for here in the U.S., but I have seen listings from sellers in other countries.

Problem is many US Sellers refuse to deal with people outside the USA.

Really pisses me off, when I see an Item that I like and it is listed as selling to US people ONLY.

I don't understand why sellers wouldn't open their auctions to bidders all over the world. I have personally sold over 200 model kits on ebay and I allowed international bidding on every one. In fact, many of the kits sold for a great deal more money BECAUSE of the international bidders!

Maybe some sellers don't want to deal with the occasional language barrier or the extra time to collect payment.

I also don't understand it, I have also sold and bought quiet a bit on E-Bay.

Naturally 98% of the deals were international, never had a problem Payoal made things eaasier and if I dealt with IMO's I shipped the kit as soon as I received the IMO in the mail.

A few guys refused to sell me the kit even after the auction ended without it being sold. Sad [:(]
