Hake's Current Auction March 2024

#1 Post by Aurora 484 »

There is a large number of Aurora and other vintage kits at auction at Hakes.

Full disclosure - I'm not a consignor.

I don't think that the consignor is worried about 10 years from now :wink:

Almost every lot has at least one bid on it so the market still seems to be there...

A lot of nice kits there!!! Some of the prices aren’t really bad yet. I’m curious to see what the ending prices are a week from now.
