dwayne4385 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Im not sure if this is the right section or not. I was just looking on craigslist and found a guy selling a model masters paint rack that he said he got from a hobby shop that was closing. Before I go pick it up I was wondering how much they usually go for? I called him and he said to come out and look at it and make an offer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddyfink Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I got mine for free. So not too much. I would start at $20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt T. Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 It's just a shelf, basically. Tell him you're not sure if it will even work, since you'll be storing Tamiya paints in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwayne4385 Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 The reason I ask is I am horrible at negotiating prices. So I figured I would find out what other people paid and go from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Handley Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) I's say go for $20 if it's the old style with the stamped metal shelves that use up bent section of the shelf to locate the bottles or the new ones that use a U shaped wire that plugs into the openings of the up bent ends of Cor-Plast. If it uses a metal shelf with moving wire loops to try and corral the paints, don't buy it at all. The first two work great for keeping the bottles where they belong while the third is a waste of perfectly good resources! I think we still have all three in use at work, I can shoot pics for reference if you want. Edited February 26, 2014 by Joe Handley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbwelda Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I have also scored these (Tamiya actually) for free from the LHS I patronized regularly. that doesn't mean he will or should just give it to you, but as mentioned above I don't think I would offer > 20 and would try to get it for $10. make an offer of 10 and see what he says jb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwayne4385 Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) Well I called him and he's pretty firm at 35. I decided to pass because he was being a jerk on the phone. Edited February 26, 2014 by dwayne4385 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modelbuilder Mark Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Go in low ball, I doubt he has a lot of other people looking at it. I also got one I had from a large chain hobby shop that was remodeling, and I also got mine for free. I would go in around $5 or $10 and see if he bites. Again, I doubt he has a lot of folks asking about it.....now....where did you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwayne4385 Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 The guy was an ass on the phone. I have a short temper so I'm just going to leave it alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 What ever you do, make sure it will really serve your needs ? Then how much is really worth to you ? How much room is it going to take up on your work area ? It's worth what ever some one is willing to pay and what ever this guy is willing to sell it for.
