Quicksilver Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Major purchase of house full 1-24 1-25 everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmodelbuilder Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 So, if I read this right, you bought a house & all those models & diecast went with it? Did the guy give up on the hobby or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1930fordpickup Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 That is an interesting purchase. You never know what someone has tucked away in a stash like this. They might not even remember what they had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quicksilver Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 The current owners of the house want it emptied out and the stuff ranges from the late 50's till approx 2010 and will take about another month to empty..it is insane and sad at the same time, my main interest is of course the MoPar stuff. but as yet we still have not been able to get more than 10 foot in the cellar.

vamach1 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Looks like some gems among a whole lot of NASCAR stuff. You will have to go really low price wise to unload a lot of this if you expect a quick turnaround. As you know most people that collect certain makes already own most of what is available and do not really need that third or forth or fifth Earnhardt or Gordon stock car. Good luck.

Good luck.Yep I am well aware of the NASCAR stuff and the majority of it is going to charity, I will be checking the "Wanted"&"Trade" boards closely.

ChrisBcritter Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 (scrolling pictures) Well, can't see too much that floats my OHMYGOD I WANT THAT 63 COMET CONVERTIBLE! (calms down) So, are you looking for trades? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quicksilver Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 Never know what you are going to find opening up boxes you thought had a kit in it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordairgtar Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Never know what you are going to find opening up boxes you thought had a kit in it.... Those clear hoods a pristine. I'd buy one. I knew a guy who did that. Kinda made it interesting to locate boxes and kit parts to rejoin with their correct boxes. Keep us in mind when you get a handle on all this. Monumental task indeed.

Russell C Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 The current owners of the house want it emptied out and the stuff ranges from the late 50's till approx 2010 .....One person accumulated all of this over that span of time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I feel like so much less of a hoarder now! That's nuts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1930fordpickup Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) I am not sure what will take you more time the loading, or the sorting out all the good from the other stuff. Can't wait to see all the goodies you post. Just had another thought, you could have a whole bunch of rare parts an aspiring resin casting may want to get ahold of to start off casting small parts.

espo Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Had to show these pictures to my wife. She gives me grief all the time about my stash, I've got nothing on this guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr68gts Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Talk to Mark Gustavson with the Model Car Museum too. He may be able to help "unload" some of it and it is a non profit I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maindrian Pace Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Will be very interesting to see what is really there hidden away. That Comet is the tip of the iceberg, I have a feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gasser59 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I hope this varied collection is able to be offered to the modeling community through threads here on the forum and elsewhere. Let us know your decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimaxion Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Another member and I here have a mutual long time friend with a more nightmarish accumulation than this . He is now disabled and in a home . His collection sits in 2 houses . One he abandoned in 1990 while leaving 2 floors , a Basement and an Attic containing Model cars . His new home from 1990 is now sitting idle packed with a newer stash . We know the same fate is in the future concerning this situation barring disaster . God Bless . I have interest , not much money Thanx .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
