Title: To Many kit's
Post by: Dennis Bourey on April 29, 2019, 08:57:29 AM
Hi Guy's I'm never will build all of these in my life time. Just to many 25 plus kit's,  I'm thinking of selling some of them here first then https://fsmkits.homestead.com (John S pointed me to John.) Plus shipping.
No Ebay They force us to raise price's to cover all cost of sale. These are the price's I paid for the kit's over the years. Some are worth more some are worth less in today's price's. I Just wanted to treated fair and not hurt the next owner in this great world of RR Modeling.  Thanks for looking. Dennis

Right now the secondary kit (for all kits)  market is very weak. I put several FSM kits on Ebay at 100-125.00 less than others on Ebay. Still no sale. Now that Jimmy is offering FSM casting, why buy the kit when all you have to do is scratch cut the walls.

I have around 145 unbuilt kits so I guess I'll let my heirs worry about the final solution.

Kinda' reminds me of the "Big Block" Corvette buyers back in the day. "Car prices are going to go up forever".
But the newbies to the hobby had no idea of what these cars were, and prices haven't continued to go up "forever".

My goal is to live long enough to build all the kits I have. The kits will always be worth more than if you spent the money on golf.

Thanks!

Best of luck with the kit sales Dennis.....I'm still looking forward to building some of the great kits I have, but I do sometimes think about the time factor.  ???

Hey Dennis:

Do well with the sales. I do have to agree with Tom the kit market is not doing well unfortunately. I'm in the same position you are but I'm not gonna give em away and lose A lot of money.

I'm reminded of an old joke...


Guy goes to the doctor.
Doctor says, "I'm afraid you have six months live".
Guy says, "doc, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay your bill in the next six months."
Doctor says, "dear friend, you have 18 moths to live."


Hang on to all the kits you want to build before you kick the bucket and start building them.


Those you really don't want, some of us will buy.


With ones are you still selling?
