Looking for a place to sell a collection of airplane kits

Somebody mentioned that there is a guide for the value of collectable kits out there called Burn's Guide (PAK-20).  If your Dad has been collecting for many years it might be worth while to track down a copy to know what you are dealing with.  Many other online forums do allow trading and selling of kits.  The main ones are modellingmadness.com, hyperscale.com and aircraftresourcecenter.com.  I think ebay is probably your best bet though unless it is a huge collection and you don't have the time to mail off packages.  You definitely would not get as much for it by selling it as a single collection to a collector/dealer.

You can get the guide here if you hurry. He says they are about gone.

If you have some vintage kits, Ebay may not be a bad way of liquidating old kits.  Why not try selling 2 or 3 kits on ebay just to see if you attract buyers or not?

In every copy of FSM there are several ads of companies who but collections of (unbuild) kits.
