Greg Cullinan Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Went to two local hobby shops.first one was getting rid of alclad paints. I paid $5 for the 4oz black and 2.99 each for chrome and brushed aluminum. I also picked up two kits. The viper kit was $4 and the barracuda was $5. Went to the other shop and bought two paint stands and 2 wired distributors and some sheet styrene Paint stand is so clean! Not for long I'm sure ?

om617 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I'd be very pleased! I've been thinking about getting a Stratos for sometime now. Hows the kit? I have not built any EM kit`s but there seem to lots of parts. People who built the 356 Porsche say they are really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaydar Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 When you buy from craigslist do the sellers ship to you or do you have to pick it up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 When you buy from craigslist do the sellers ship to you or do you have to pick it up? It can go either way, what ever you work out with the seller. Personally I like dealing in person off Craigs List since there have been some scammers there. I usually use it for larger items that I wouldn't want to ship. Last thing I sold there was a set of 4 bentwood chairs. People do read ads out of their own area and contact you to ship them stuff. I did so on some Studebaker parts I had listed a few years ago without any problems. CL is also a great place to get rid of free stuff. The garbage company here charges to take large items so it's easy enough to post an ad for a free non-running lawn mower. I gave away an old couch once, and my favorite was a nasty old wood swing set in my yard. Two guys showed up, disassembled it and took it away. Run a FREE ad and your phone will ring off the hook.

The70judgeman Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 @Joseph- That's something you and the seller have to agree upon. Do you pick it up from their location? Will the seller ship it to you? Do you or the seller pay for the shipping? Or, do you meet at a neutral location for the deal. I personally have dealt with two Craigslist deals and we've met at a neutrally agreed upon location to do the deal. It's just something you have to work out with the seller. Good luck.

Sam I Am Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) Kinda pleased with this haul. That is such a nice haul, I had to go check my stash and see if mine were still there. Oh, and found a set of later model BMW wheels made by BBS for the old Bavaria. Just what we wanted, classy but not too mdern.

My Hobby Lobby had 3 Super Stones on Tuesday. I picked up one and came back Thursday and they were already gone. I'm hoping they have a restock, would like one more. They did have the 2010 Revell Camaro for 15.39 on clearance. These were in the next isle over as they just finished a restock of the model section.

Tom Geiger Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 This weekend's haul that I acquired at my club meeting. The Ford pickup was bought from a fellow club member who was thinning out his hoard for $10. Even though I have several I can't pass up an old pickup kit for that price. Heck, I'd pay that just to get another set of those cool wheels. And then I got two new kits via Model King. I already have a 1950 Olds, but needed a donor kit for a resin wagon I recently bought. I didn't have the 49 Mercury woody, so that was cool to get. Looking at it, I'm quite impressed! It's one of those kits that you want to move everything else off the bench and start on immediately! And I got oh, 800 of these! Our club members set up assembly line style to package up the NNL East souvenir license plates! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin T Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Tom I've always loved the idea for the licence plates from NNL East, I used the frame the other day on a build looking for a way to dress up the plate area. Thanks again for sending one to me ages ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I would have bought two Mercs for that price. Nice truck for parts also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
