I would just like to be able to delete pictures Ive uploaded here. Some are in threads years old. Most others are in trade threads . Some Ive inadvertently uploaded multiple times. either way its makes it horrible to wade thru to find the one I want. So much I'll avoid uploading pictures here at all costs anymore

And once posted here It cant be deleted by the one who posted it either .

I don't think I've bought a model kit in over a year, maybe closer to 2 years now. And in all honesty. I dont have much desire to buy either. Ive actually sold close to or even over 100 kits , both builders and unbuilts. And this trend will most likely continue. My newest garage toy will take my free time for a while Retirement is just under a year away. And I hope to get back into building some models afterwards . But I honestly cant say that I have the drive for them like I did in years passed

This eBay seller is nuts...

Depends entirely on just how hungry you are and if anything else is avail. There are Micky D's in nearly every street corner. But if they were days apart and you were hungry...that $50 dollar cheesburger would taste pretty good. My point is. Sealed 1970 Challenger kits are NOT on every street corner. And someone...somewhere wants one. Seller just has to find him. Like I said....if one doesnt like the price...why bitch about it. Simply move on and enjoy what you do find. And btw...that some one who will pay that.....is NOT me. I've had my days where i had shelves stacked with big money unbuilt kits. I sold them all and moved on to something else that i enjoyed. And for what its worth. I recently sold some builtups ...had 1 ea. (Not here btw ) MPC 1970 and 71 challengers. 1970 and 71 Cudas . All four sold in minutes for almost $375. By some standards they were only worth maybe $20 -30 ea. The guy didn't have them . I did. ...he wanted them and could afford them. He now owns them. -

Why.? Just because someone can and is willing to pay up to get something THEY want with THERE money. They have to be labled as crazy or insane etc.etc . I dont get it. If you don't like the price. No one is holding a gun to your head to buy. Move on and enjoy life as you see fit. -

EXACTLY, If one doesnt like the price, its simple really. Move on and enjoy life in the way you chose . Dont bash those who can / will pay the price to get what they want Like I said earlier. There has been times that kit would sell for that. But IMO those days are behind us -

Ps. In maybe the past 3 years or so. A sealed johan 1969 gtx sold for.over $600. So trust me. Kits can pull some serious coin if the right people are looking. -

gtx6970 replied to BlackSheep214's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Its been a few years. But kit was posted with a low opening bid. Best i remember im thinking maybe $50 ????? And a couple bidders got into a bidding war. And the kit sold for over $1000 This happened maybe 5 / 6 years ago maybe. I had one still sealed inside. And listed it and mine only went to about 400. Went to japan -
