Kits for Sale
Posted by nicksr1125 on Sunday, March 24, 2019 4:51 AM

I have 7 kits I'll probably never get around to that I'd like to sell.  Two questions.  Is it ok to list them for sale here on the forum?  If not, can somebody recommend a website (other than ebay) or other option?  The main problem is that they're no longer in the box and most of them have lots of add-ons from Eduard, Wolfpack Design, or other resin companies.

I don't think you are allowed to sell in the forums.

If you don't mind me asking, what's the aversion to eBay? It seems like it would be the easiest and safest way to make the sale. 

 

edit- also, on reddit.com/r/modelmakers . People have sold on there before- usually people who end up with large collections from estate sales or dead relatives, but it has certainly been allowed in the past. It's a group of modellers who would know what the extras are for, and likely wouldn't mind a kit without a box. It's a bit sketchier than using an easy service like eBay. You are reliant on direct Paypal, so there's a better possibility of you either not getting paid or the other guy not getting his stuff without any real consequences.

I've seen some Facebook selling sites.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Take a look at Scale Model Graveyard on Facebook. You can auction things off on weekends, straight up sell every other day. 

I haven't sold there, but there are so many neat things during the auctions. Resistence is futile.

Posted the list on Scale Model Graveyard this morning.  They're also listed on the IPMSUSA website.  I'm just not into ebay.

For clarity, you can check this out at:

5. Advertisements. If you would like to advertise a product that your commercial company manufactures, or if you are an individual private seller, you can buy a classified ad in the magazine or an ad on the Web site. This includes all buying, selling, and trading. Any posts that appear to be an advertisement or transaction will be deleted.
