How much does your model cost?
Posted by Harshman II on Wednesday, May 5, 2010 12:59 AM

For example, you are moving house and wanted to sell off yr model to recoup yr losses. How do u gauge you need to sell to cover back all the costs?

I assume you mean a completed model?  If so you'll have to figure in the total materials and how much you think your time is worth.  Having said that, an object is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.  Set the price you think you'll have to get for it and put it on e-bay and see if you get any nibbles.  Don't be surprised if you have to lower your price to get it to sell.  Many times we think our models are worth more than they realy are.  Good luck in your enterprise!

only the cost of the kit and any after market parts       time is a zero

you are a  modeler(hobbyist) who is in a spot where you can not relocate your models

you are not in the busuness of a pro model builder
