For about the cost of this:
I got this!
Yup, my biggest hit ever. Sorry to gloat, but when you're buying brand new Dragon kits for just $5 each, it's pretty hard to keep it yourself. 14 kits for $65!!
This guy ran an ad on Craigslist and I had to wait 5 days until I could get to his house, worrying the whole time that I would miss out. When I got there, my jaw dropped. The ad didn't show many of what was for sale, mostly Tamiya kits, but I crossed my fingers. The sad part is that I will trade or sell all but maybe a couple of kits. I took the vast majority of the newer sealed Dragons. I left probably another 25 of mixed bag of Italeri, Tamiya, Trumpeter and Dragon kits. I told him I might be back.
For the record, the guy got them as part of an Apartment bid, much like a storage locker bid. He knew they were worth more, but wanted to dump them.
