ra7c7er Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 For five bucks a piece try and get whatever you can. Honestly everyone will tell you to look out for certain things but unless you are reselling just take what you like and will want to build. Don't let him rip you off though do you know what the value of your cards are?

Unless you have an error or rare card, the bottom pretty much fell out of the card market a decade ago. I suggest you pick models you like and want to build/use, instead of kits based on what they'd re-sell for.

I did some checking a few years ago, and even the three error cards I have (one blank back) were still worth only $3.00 or so. Good luck to you!

disabled modeler Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Sounds like it could be a great deal. 60s to early 70s-Pontiacs,Cadillacs,Chryslers,Plymouths,Buicks,Oldsmobiles,AMCs,Dodges,DeSotos,Ramblers ect. are usually always a good choice and at 5.oo a kit sounds pretty good to me.
ra7c7er Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Ugh I am drooling over that race team and modified. Is it complete? any chance you might trade it? Looks like you got some cool stuff.

sjordan2 Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) I can tell you from personal experience that it's not a good idea to consider the possibilities of resale except to friends who might be interested. On eBay, you have to pay fees and the hassle of posting your items isn't worth it unless you are an experienced, high-volume eBay seller or find something extraordinary. Just get what you want.

Just get what you want. though at 5 dollars a kit, i would take all i can, the ones i didnt like i would save for that occasion when something i do like shows up on the trade section and offer them up then plus, at 5 dollars a kit, i could stand ripping the engine and wheels out without feeling bad for a bash Edited February 2, 2011 by diymirage
