Thanks! I appreciate you compliments.bucketfoot-al wrote: ↑April 24th, 2025, 4:44 pm Thank you as always for posting this exhaustive report, Tony! Its almost like being there!
Glad you were able to make so many sales at the end! Onward and upward!!
I'm started to run out of kits to sell,
Absolutely - unless you've got a computerized list with photos, its easy to forget what all you have buried in boxes. What' s the point of that? Better to pass it on to someone who might actually build it (and recoup some of the $$$ we spent impulsively) ... or ... you can be like Scott Johansen ... and turn your 2000sf basement into a warehouse ...AntMan wrote: ↑April 26th, 2025, 12:08 pmThanks!

And yeah, about my sales. I'm started to get into a dilemma???
which is pushing me further and further into visiting my personal stash.
Since I still have waaay too many kits to build (in my lifetime, or 2 or 3 more lifetimes), I guess I'm going
in the right direction, (right)???

If I start clearing stuff now then I might have a reasonable chance of building everything eventually.

I wonder if any of you all have ever done something like this???
Soooo, you'll see a really nice, kewl kit that catches your eye, that you JUST HAVE TO HAVE!
You go and purchase it and take it home, and before long your original inspiration for the kit starts to wane, and you end up moving it away, (either into an attic or a crawl space or a cellar or some other place out of the way, to make space).
THEN, months or maybe years later, you're at another model show or hobby store, and you see a really nice, kewl model kit, (which catches your eye). You just have to have it. Sooo, you purchase it, taking it home in your enthusiasm. Then a couple of weeks, or maybe a month or two passes by, and since you haven't started working on it yet, you decide to move it away, to make space.
When you go to your "model storage area", you are SURPRISED to see one of the same kit!!!
I recently did this, (going into ONE of my attics, where I'm storing my "extra" model kits), and when checking out several plastic boxes up there, I discovered not just TWO, but THREE of the same Gundam kit! Sooo, I had actually done that THREE TIMES, (since they were all purchased on different occasions).
So YES, I think it's time for me to start liquidating more of my extra kits.
