You can sell the whole thing to a LHS or one of the Internet retailers for about 1/2 what they will sell for if you list them here.

Do-it-yourself or let someone else do it for a commission.

Ebay.

I know of somebody selling off much more than what you are suggesting and he's getting some very good prices. You sell it as a whole and you'll not get anywhere near as much as selling it of per kit. Just list 10 - 20 a week, whatever you think you can manage to box and get to the post office with in a reasonable time after sales end. Paypal ensures you get the money, no cheque clearing time delays.

unless you just want to dump it all, Id make a list and sell them yourself..going to a LHS or online retailer..they need to make money from it, so you wont get near what theyre worth. one suggestion is to rent a table at an upcoming model show. I see guys doing that at the time just to clear theyre old collection.
