Second Hand Kit Dealers

[JamesPerrin]

Thought it would be a good idea to collect together places to find 2nd hand kits, especially for CBK members on the hunt for those CBK gems. This was originally posted on the old site and thought I should copy it over.

Obviously http://www.ebay.co.uk; and http://www.ebay.com; etc have a lot to offer but sometimes when you need something and want a fixed price a dealer offers a much more reliable service.

Please post recommendations and I'll maintain the list.

I can heartily recommend Rareplane Detective. His prices can be a little on the high side (though not as high as some other online dealers) but he and wife, Kathy, are very nice people to deal with and are super-helpful. I've visited the warehouse in Las Vegas and it's a veritable treasure trove. If you visit Vegas, it is a must-see.

Great idea, James

Here in NZ, eBay never really got much of a look in so our national equivalent is Trademe http://www.trademe.co.nz/toys-models/models;

When I pass through Singapore, I always try to put aside an afternoon at Hobby Bounty in Katong Shopping Centre - this is a treasure trove of OOP and hard to find kits although proced to accordingly in many cases... http://www.hobbybounties.com/;

And when in Brussels, I like to spend an afternoon exploring in Pointe 50 which has a all sorts of OOP treasures if you are prepared to search for them... http://www.lepetitmoutard.be/place/poin ... 81/address; It doesn't have its own website so the link just has a map, address and ph/fax details.
