Thinning the herd

Ebay vs Esty. Or does anyone you know of that buys the whole collections?

Thanks

The new owners of Spotlights Hobbies (formerly Hobby Heaven) may be interested, as the former owner (Tom Carter) used purchases of collections to increase his business.  In addition, while I'm not 100% sure of this, I've heard Model Roundup may also buy collections. 

A note of caution:  you may find a huge variance between what you think the collection is worth and what someone is willing to offer.

Yes, they will give you a flat rate for your inventory.  2 bucks was the going rate for years from what I was told. Not sure what the current rate is.  Make sure you have a good list of what you have before you contact anyone.  They will need to know how many are sealed. If you have a lot of older kits you might want to sell those separate.

Some JoHan kits go for over $300.00 on ebay.
