You got a great deal and I'm glad for you, but I'm also sad for the modeler who had to move and leave behind some very nice kits that he probably spent good money on. The HB Amtrac alone is worth over $30. Super find!

Have to agree with you Rob. Very sad indeed. Makes me wonder what he took with him? He did leave some very nice kits behind.

Holy cow! what a haul for $30, congrats! I'm gonna look at craiglist everyday from now on.

One other time I bought about 10 kits for $20. However, they were almost all started and were in various degrees of finished. Many were not that far along. Easily around $250-300 retail.

About two figure sets are about that too!

Anyone know if the games are worth anything?

I bet that Axis and Allies game is worth something.

Only $30 for all of those?!?!?  Are you sure you didn't break into somebody house to steal those but you felt guilty so you left $30 on the guy's work bench?

Apparently a friend moved and couldn't take them all with him. So.........

initially the ad said 15 kits, but I only saw half and it was good enough for me.

Some spendy kits in that pile. Big Smile

Was it a lady dumping her ex-boyfriend's stash? Was there a pile of cut up clothes littering the front yard?Propeller
