1950's Model Kits

All I can suggest is to look around on e-bay, maybe contact some of the e-stores listed there and see what they have too say.

I'd be happy to look up prices for you. Just tell me what kits you need to know the price of. Be sure to include the kit number.

Thanks for the offer. I will have to generate this list next time I go back to my old home at the beginning of March. I guess there is nothing equivalent to a coin or stamp collector's guide to prices then? I thought about seeing what prices pop up on e-bay, but wasn't sure if some of the rarer stuff would be there.
Victor

If I recall there are one or two people that compile such a guide.

Said that like with anything if you sell them expect to get less than that price, personally I would not use eBay as a price judging guide.

Too many kits got for too much or too litle compared to their real value.

There is a price guide and it is put out by "Kit Collectors Clearinghouse". There is no website for KCC but they have been around for over 30 years.

doubt that the average would worth more than 100 $ per kit
so does it worth to part with them for 5-6K ?
if i were you i would not sell but it is your call.....

I'm definitely not planning on opening or selling the kits that are more collector worthy. What I really want to know is which kits I don't have to feel guilty about opening up because they really haven't appreciated in value. Those I will open up and work on...
Thanks again gents!
Victor

A gentleman named John Green puts out a Collectors value guide and has a web site which I think ifs the Collectorskitclearinghouse.com

My mistake Kitcollectorsclearinghouse.com

Do you mean kitcollectors.clearinghouse.com? That was all I could get to work, but this doesn't quite look right???
Victor

I will find out the correct info and get back to you. It's around here somewhere?????

Okay! try this page and you will find some of what you might need at the lower part of the page (it was John BURNS! not Green!!! oooofda)

Hope it helps? If not there is always eBay ( hush, for you naysayers)

I'm not an expert, but any of those Aurora kits are collector's items and would have fairly decent value. The Testors kits are reissues and some are still on the shelves. They are not worth a great deal of money, most of them retail for $5-7.

Man, what a list of memories !!!!

If you decide you can do without the Renwal Atomic Cannon, send me an email.

Thanks,
John

You've got a really mixed bag as far as prices go. Most of the Aurora and the pre-1958 Revell kits can be very expensive to purchase today (I've seen Aurora instruction sheets or empty Aurora boxes go for $15 or more on E-Bay). If you want to sell them, I would recommend selling them on E-bay or by running an ad in FSM's Classifieds. I wouldn't recommend selling them to some one who buys kit collections as most of them will usually give you less than 10% of the kit's actual value.

hello, i'm interested in sterling sva5 and sterling jn4 jenny please let me know thanks,phil
