We have enjoyed the hobby of building plastic models our entire lives and have come to understand that fellow hobbyists love to purchase and collect plastic model kits as much as they love to build them.
Our goal is to respectfully purchase entire collections of plastic model kits from hobbyists or their estates and to individually sell to active modelers who will be thrilled to build the kits or add them to their collection.
We strive to be respectful, fair, prompt and to purchase entire collections of both started and unstarted plastic model kits.
Disposing a model kit collection and accessories can be overwhelming. We understand the sensitivity and therefore approach all situations with respect, fairness and with timeliness in mind.
Upon notification that a collection is available, we will quickly review the collection in person or in pictures (depending on the situation).
We will quickly make an all-cash offer for the entire collection, we do not cherry pick. Upon acceptance of our offer, we will make arrangements to pick up the collection as soon as possible (often same day).
A collection of scale models often takes a life-time to build and becomes an important part of the modeler’s life. A very cherished treasure. When it comes that time to let go of the collection, it can become a daunting task for the family..
The following is some advice for those faced with disbursing a loved one’s collection.
1. Was there a plan for the collection that was established? Often times, there is not, but possibly there was a discussion or plan put in place. If there was a plan, is that plan still practical?
2. If you intend to sell the entire collection, it is not always necessary to spend significant time listing and organizing. Some order is good, but spending weeks building a list of the collections contents is not always needed.
3. Pictures are good. Gather collection in one area if possible and take a few pictures.
4. Separate out items that are sentimental that you intend to keep.
5. Not all buyers can make quick decisions. Expect buyers to react to your desire to disburse a collection. Buyers like webuymodelkits.com should be able to access a collection and their desire to purchase it fast.
6. Expect to be paid WHEN the collection is picked up and expect to be paid in cash. If a would -be buyer asks to “pay you later” that is not the right buyer.
7. Expect timeliness and promptness. Calls not returned and texts no answered are a warning sign.
8. If you are selling a collection, it is fair to expect the buyer will take everything and not leave behind lesser quality kits or supplies.
Sincerely,
