Yes, I do have a small wish list and might be able to acquire them super cheap if I can trade them.

I left mostly older Tamiya kits and a few Italeri. There were some some Dragon Orange Boxes and a few interesting Trumpy kits that I left behind. It kind of hurts, but I told him I might be back yet again.

Someone picked up 3 kits before me. I wonder what they were? He sure missed out, must not have an armor modeler.

No, the guy who sold them to me is very busy and doesn't have the time to list them and doesn't really seem to care that I'm making out like a bandit. He just wants them gone. Beer

Eagle, I highly doubt I'll ever score that again. Unfortunately, very few were kits that I needed or wanted. However, with the sale or trade, I can get what I want for a huge discount.

No doubt!  That was a great deal.  Hope you find many more and that you get some even better stuff with your trades/sells.

So, if I send you $25 bucks, will you go pick me up 5 kits? Smile

Great score....AGAIN!  Gotta love Craigslist.  Congrats!

Sounds like you've got the perfect funding operation going Eric! Just selling a couple of those kits ought to net you enough cash to pick up the BT-7. Sell the whole lot and the Valentine too! Wink

Thanks guys. It was definitely about as good as it gets. Last year I bought 40 kits for about $30,  but about 20 of them were Dragon figures and the armor was mostly stuff I didn't care about. I ended up only keeping a Dragon 20mm gun that I plan to use as a kitbash. The rest were sold on ebay, which of course in turn, produced kits I was searching for.

I'm now looking into doing the same. I still want a BT-7 and a Valentine.

Now that's what I call an insta-stash! There are some nice kits there for sure, the Bison II in particular is getting harder to find these days surprisingly.

And thats why we end up with a stash, because you never know how long its going to be around.

Great score, but the sad part is the cost of those kits would have probably covered the amount of rent that was due!

Agh. Nope it's #6463 the Initial J. Still looks to be a sweet kit though.

Hey Eric, is it the 24th PD Ausf J. (6394)? If so, I might be willing to take it off your hands as I've wanted to do a Stalingrad Pz III for quite some time...

Dave, I recently bought the Hummel smart kit shipped to me from a seller for just $25!  I thought I made out like a bandit.

Yeah, I'm a little jealous as it's one of the last kits I purchased (Pz III Ausf H - same kit) for $31. And I thought I did well at that! Hmm

Exactly Dave. My stash is around 35 or so, before this purchase. No way I'll ever get to build them all, because I keep buying.

I was very happy about the Pz III H. I bought the J, but it had no Afrika Korps decals with it and I really wanted to build one of them. So bye bye to the J. I don't need to build the whole family . LOL

Nice! ...and one for free? It's probably a good thing I can't find kits for $5 each as my stash would be enormous. Stick out tongue
