Lyn Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 Hi Everyone! I have been having fun selling these and it seems I am making a lot of people very happy by doing so.. I have made some new online model friends that are very cool and full of interesting facts.. I have to say though I am in over my head, even with all the advice and searching I am doing and of course with Brandon's help, I still am in way over my head.. I have been listing most of my dad's models at 99cents on ebay which is why it has been so much fun, people get the chance to actually bid on something instead of haveing it listed out of their reach. Starting today I'll have to start listing them a little higher, with all the fee's from ebay and the fee's from paypal if a model sells for 99cents I'm basically paying the person to take it from me. If there is anyone local that wants to come help me sort through some of the older models, tell me exactly what they are and such, that would be awesome! I hope everyone is having a fantastic day! Take care, Lyn Hillyer Quote
crispy Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 (edited) Lyn, glad to hear it is going well and is fun. Wish I were local to help you out. I think it would be fun to just look at all of it. I've been keeping an eye on your stuff too. Just haven't found anything I need, or shall I say want? LOL Yah, ebay and pay-pal fees take a lot more than they used to now. For every $100 you make they get about $25 of it. Good Luck to you. Chris Edited July 31, 2009 by crispy Quote
Lyn Posted July 31, 2009 Author Posted July 31, 2009 Hey thanks Chris. Oh I am sure it would be a dream come true for some of you all for sure! Even though I don't build them, I had of course as a child LOL I don't think I could have gotten around that. I am still in awe half the time in storage, somedays I just have to leave because it is so overwhelming in there. Quote
B_rad88 Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 hey lyn, for you and everyone else asking you! http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/turtle_ranch..._fromZQQ_ipgZ25 Quote
crazyjim Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 Thanks for the heads up Brandon. I think I remember something about Turtle Rancher going to sell models. I keep looking at emodelcars but never saw any of his stuff. Quote
Foxer Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 Glad to see you're enjoying it and making some headway. I try keep an eye on everything you put up, but so far haven't bid on anything .. It's just that I'm so picky. ehhe It had been an amazing trip for me just seeing those old models appear again! And I think $.99 is an insane starting point on any kit ... you can't buy a new one for under $10 so you should not feel bad if you have to raise the start point. Quote
Lyn Posted July 31, 2009 Author Posted July 31, 2009 Brandon you are the bomb! Jim I am the Turtle_rancher LOL I did list a few on emodels and probably will do so again.. there was a slight problem on the site so I have been hesitent to do so again. Mike thank you for the pick-me-up, I just want everyone to have the ability to buy a model they normaly wouldn't be able to afford, there is however a local guy plucking up the lower priced one's and I am sure he'll re-sell them for well more then people can afford.. which I don't think would be what my father wanted........ so listing a few of them for a higher price so I can keep selling them and people can keep affording them is what unfortunatly I am going to have to do. Thank you once again everyone! Quote
B_rad88 Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 no problem lyn! i am glad i can help you and other people out! and THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!! Brandon Quote
