I just pick up a crap load of model car kits (upwords of 40 and most of them unopened). The majority of the are old Rolls Royce and Duesenburg kits, and a couple of 'vettes. Anyhow, are their any kind of publication out there to check the value of these? I'm looking for a collectors book/ magazine, much like Bekket is for baseball and football cars. thanks
I think there is one, but it's a guy who publishes it himself. Just put in "Model Car Value guide" in google.
<font color="purple"> I just check Egay to see what they are selling at. It doesn't really matter the said value is, just what you will acually get for it. I can't believe how cheap Tamiya kits are on there. </font>
Pat Coulter and a partner put one out. I have seen their latest edition at a hobby shop just last month. Coulter is a master modeler and has many bylines in Scale Auto and Modelcar. I'll get info for ya.
There is a place called Hobby Heaven that sell a lot of old/second hand kits. I think they have a website. Let me check... Yep... www.hobbyheaven.com You might find what they're selling the kits for or maybe they'd be interested in buying them off you.
Hobby Heaven's site is at: www.modelcarkits.com They have their own message board, but be carefull about asking what things are worth there...they like to avoid the $$$ side of discussions there, since it's a store-sponsored site! Great place to check out cool models and ask questions related to building them, though!!
