440 Dakota

this example has been the same as my experiences the past few years of selling off stuff except its not the 100% total cost, if you buy postage online add the cost of labels, ink(bought any lately??) tape which you can not get from USPS like you do the boxes and then if you have to buy packaging material such as bubble wrap or peanuts it all adds up so with all that in mind I don't mess with listing anything less than $25

stopped by Lewis Ave Toledo store today and they still had quite a few, didn't see the olds and the flatbed but rest were there, grabbed 1 each of the rigs, I have no interest in the other stuff so grab em before the resellers do, also they had a big red rod in the markdown section I think it was marked $24 but I didn't open it

here is the site I studied a bit when I thought about doing some gun stocks, its the film style and quite a few videos are posted on the site https://www.mydipkit.com/

nice smooth transaction with Sam I Am and hope to trade again

for me I almost can't stand looking at a stock wheel car anymore or even one with 5 spoke Crager or Torques, it can be the most beautifully over restored car in the world and nothing, I'd rather see something that's been personalized and most importantly used and enjoyed, so I've enjoyed the pro tour, g machine, pro street cars, but the wheels have to be a careful decision, to muck bling kills the look, I like the 1st 2 Challengers but not the 3rd nope and the Duster not sure what the owner was thinking

Tim nice collection and write up somehow I missed it first time around

my Google is pretty strong here is a pic of all 8

I don't remember all 8 but I have the 57 300 and the 71 Charger, and I can say the 57 300 is detail painted the same as the Pro- Shop version except the body color which is black in the masterpiece and green in the pro-shop, seems about the turn of the century and I think in the 20 buck range, I'll dig em out tomorrow unless someone fills in the details tonight

love these vans never seen them before so I have to find one for myself

here is a few random 1/24 -1/25 ones in my collection, the Mopar hauler is smaller and was signed by Darrell at the nats

cool project body looks good for an Ohio car, as former 440 Dart owner I can tell you research your headers thoroughly back when I built mine 15 + years ago there wasn't many options at that time, I bought the 2in primary CPPA ones which I think were $750ish at the time and had to apply the hammer to a couple tubes, spark plug changes were tough and don't think about using the column or console shifter, Hurst cable was what worked for me, maybe things have improved since then, have fun their a blast to drive when done

esp since they left the hood door and under hood mechanism 1st parts pic for me its kinda disappointing and about what I figured, since I've already built the Satellite and GTX a few times I just don't want to revisit it, was hoping the modern wheels might be nice and buy it for those but nope

Can't forget Damm Yankees Ted Nugent Jack Blades Night Ranger Tommy Shaw Styx Michael Cartellone Skynard

here's a couple for the 80s hair guys, how about HSAS, I still had the cassette up until a couple years ago when the basement took on water Sammy Hager Montrose, Van Hager, Solo, Chickenfoot Neil Schon Journey, Santana, Bad English Kenny Aaronson Billy Idol, Joan Jett, Michael Schieve Santana

same here windows laptop with chrome

I also believe the market is flooded right now, how many of us are aging and sitting on a couple to a few hundred kits right now, I know many guys that are thinning the stash, cutting back on buying, realizing their never going to get to em all, I know I've sold a couple hundred the past couple years and will clear out a bunch more this winter, sure there will be some kits that always bring good money but I think lots and lots of common and semi-common kits will drop in price, just not enough younger guys interested to replace us older guys also when setting your prices on ebay remember they and paypal get a cut that's usually adds up to about 20% or so

Alan so sorry to hear, its so tough to deal with and I know exactly how your feeling we had to put our beloved beagle Bailey to rest yesterday due to a super fast growing tumor, Thank Goodness we were able to be with her

and yes on both of these, running Chrome that's constantly updated

gonna be a small fortune to ship, when I was a member on NAXJA and Samba, guys would ship large items by Greyhound bus and it was considerably cheaper but you have to pick up and have dropped off at their terminal

bummer sorry to hear it was really hoping it might happen, haven't been to any shows since it started, no fairs, no woodward, no R/C fly events, just no fun

it was actually Imperial 80-83 I think, only as a 2 door except for a few limo conversions, was a nice looking car drove like the land yacht it is

maybe save some things your still seriously interested in and see what happens after a break, myself over 45 yrs in the hobby and have taken years off from building, but was still involved in the hobby via retail and toy show stuff like that so that kept me interested, anyhow I love archery but had to quit cold turkey due to having my sternum removed due to a rare serious cancer, thanks goodness I didn't get rid of everything model related cause now its been one of my main hobbies again, it doesn't cost anything to let some sit for a while you never know what life will throw at you good luck in whatever you decide

here check this site out, lots of tube chassis parts http://futurattraction.com/7.html

I've received a few questionably packaged items from them so won't order anything fragile, I figure its better to spend a couple more bucks from a smaller hobby dealer than have to deal with a return or repair of a damaged kit
