I have thousands of kits/books/decals/accessories that I wish to sell on to active modellers and wondered if there is anywhere in the UK where people like me can book some tables to sell their stuff? I attended one near Peterborough many years ago in a village hall, it was packed out with vendors and full of modellers looking for stuff. With current prices of kits and books being so high it seems to makes sense to buy secondhand at 1990's prices.

I have hundreds of 1:48 aircraft kits, mostly WWII, crammed full of resin/metal accessories; hundreds of rare decal sheets, a huge collection of books including very rare Monogram/Classic/Eagle Editions types in mint condition; there are far too many to list and put onto eBay!!

Alternatively, by appointment, I could arrange for serious modellers to visit me. But I thought a secondhand sale would be the easiest. I live near Cambridge.

Long way to travel, but Falkirk in Scotland has a swap meet in one of the High Schools on the first Sunday of every month.

Diecasts, plastic kits, rail road, etc.

Is a very popular and busy venue.
