Does anyone know of a site or a group that has just spare parts for sale? I really loved the last "What If" campaign and I like the idea of building imaginary vehicles. I guess the main thing that I would be looking for would be road wheels, track and suspension type items. The rest is sheet styrene!

eBay has been the only place that I have seen that might come close to the selling of spares. I watch this ebay filter regularly http://www.ebay.com/sch/Models-Kits-/1188/i.html?_dlg=1&_clu=2&_from=R40%7CR40%7CR40%7CR40&_sop=1&LH_Distance=1&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEFSRCHX%3ASRCH%7CSTRK%3AMEFSRCHX%3ASRCH&_nkw=Models+%26+Kits&LH_PrefLoc=2

It seems the Car/Auto modelers group are up on selling 'spares' more then any other group. You see them under the term 'junk yard'.

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=Models+%26+Kits&LH_PrefLoc=2&_sop=1&LH_Distance=1&_dlg=1&_clu=2&_osacat=1188&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEFSRCHX%3ASRCH%7CSTRK%3AMEFSRCHX%3ASRCH&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR12.TRC2.A0.H0.Xjunkyard.TRS0&_nkw=junkyard&_sacat=1188

Hope this helps


Cheers

Yeah, I scan ebay occasionally, but I didn't know if there was a "swap meet" or "flea market" group of individual modelers/entities out there that sold/traded leftover kit parts.
