Thumbs up 1000+ models for sale CHEAP! Many scales; makers - fill in gaps in your collection!

There comes a time in a man's life blah blah blah...I won't bore you with the details, but I need to liquidate thanks to the poor economy and the lack of cash in my bank account. I have a ton on 1:500, several 1:400 and a few 1:200, 1:72, etc. that I am putting up for sale. The list is being constantly updated; there will be around 1200 models when I'm done. You can see the current list at:

http://www.diecastaircraftforum.com/...sale-2322.html

Here's the deal:
Make me an offer! No reasonable offer refused. The majority of the models will sell below the average market value listed here on DAC! The more you want to buy, the more generous I will be with the prices. Plus, it'll be cheaper per-model in shipping costs if you buy several at once.

Shipping?
Shipping method is your choice, and I will only charge what it costs to ship it - no flat fees based on a dollar amount, no mark ups - only what it costs to get the box to you. I will retain the receipt from the post office as proof of shipment - however, insurance or delivery confirmation is at your discretion and cost.

I want 70 of them, but I only have $100 right now!

No problem! I understand more than anyone the paycheck-to-paycheck lifestyle. Here's what I'll do - I can set them aside for you; we can set up a payment plan on a month-to-month basis. As you pay each month I'll send the next batch of models until they're all gone. You never have to "pay ahead" and I don't have to worry about you not paying! This has worked out great in the past with some of the younger members of DAC who can't get a ton of cash in a hurry. Speaking of - tell your parents that Santa or Father Christmas can shop here too!

How do I pay?

I'll accept Paypal with no mark up to cover their fees. I also accept US Postal money orders and US personal checks. I have accepted cash in the past however I do not recommend this - too many sticky fingers in the postal service.

Hmmm...can I trust you?

Yup! I've been on DAC for a long time...several of the members here have already bought models from me. I also am on ebay with the same user name - over 500 transactions with 100% perfect feedback. I want these models to go to a good home and I would rather sell them to the members here than list them on ebay, pay that crappy company their fees and have them end up wherever.

PM me with any questions - and thanks! Hopefully my financial situation will help folks fill in the holes in their collection.

Hello all! I want to thank everyone for the responses so far - no one is asking for $2 models and everyone wants to make a deal, which is great.

Midway1979 - thanks for the compliment! I sent you PM on that model.

PT-TAA - I'm digging on that list, PM coming!

Baxter66 - if you click on the clickable link at the top of each page header that says "scale" it will sort the list that way. It doesn't filter everything out, but it will list them by scale.

Alvaro - Gotcha - will be in touch with the shipping quote.

Sinvhu - PM'd you back.

Glarus - PM'd you back.

Thanks again to everyone - and check back every couple of days to check the list. More models are being updated (mostly 1:500 for the next couple of weeks, with around 300 1:400's coming in in late October.)

The sale continues!

1:500 fans - all of my Herpa's are now listed (over 900 of them.) There are plenty of airline exclusives, German and Japanese exclusives, Herpa Model Club's, etc. Plus, for any of the completists or the few OG fans out there - I've got damn near all of them!

1:400 fans - stay tuned; I should have that last batch of models, all of which are 1:400, up on the site for sale (hopefully) by the end of this month.

Thanks again!

LOTS and LOTS of Herpa :500 scale models.

A very few Gemini Jets :400 scale models.

I recieved a requested model from Jim, and I was very impressed with his service. He offered the model at a very reasonable price with very cheap shipping and that was what I paid. He didn't try to gouge me on anything. I would highly recommend buying from Jim for any model needs.

I also received my model today and I'm very pleased with the deal. Model, packaging and shipping were all great! Thanks Jim.

Sorry...I got a slew of messages that jammed the box full over the weekend - and I'm on the road for a wedding. If you tried and couldn't get through - please try again. If you messaged me - give me until Monday when I will be home and be able to give and get quotes. Thanks!
