Selling models

[paddy]

As i have said before i tend to have drastic clear out once or twice a year, most kits go in the bin, the only real keepers i have are my 6 WnW models, a couple of 1/32 Spits and half a dozen odds and ends i quite like. I have never been one for selling models as i don't trust the packaging but in this months clear out a Ferrari F190 i built a couple of years ago had run out of time so rather than bin it i stuck it on ebay for a laugh.....anyway it went last night for £196 ! or $316 !! after 20+ bids

Congratulations!

Double box. first box, layer of Styrofoam peanuts then center the smaller box. Fill sides with peanuts. Place model in thick plastic bag (contractor trash bag). Styrofoam peanuts on floor of smaller box, then model, close box except for small punched hole. This is used to introduce the nozzle of the spray insulation foam. Another layer of peanuts, then seal larger box. Pray for a postal carrier who did not go to the American Tourister School of Handling.

Yet, you really can't control what will happen if the buyer is a fool...
