Would anyone know of an on-line model kit price guide. I have some old kits and was wondering what their worth.

I don't know of one, BUT I use this site to find stuff & there is a blurb about how he will buy unwanted model kits - myabe he could assess some value or point you in the right direction?

You could also see what they go for on Ebay. That will give you an idea of street value anyway. There have been some pretty exotic kits going for some nice $.

John Burns use to have a web site.....
but I can't find it any longer.
I'm pretty sure he's still publishing his yearly book on kit collecting and price guide, though.

Thanks guys for the replys. I'm not looking to sell any of the kits, i was going through the old kits and was just wondering are they worth keeping or just build them. Matt, yes i know the guy your talking about, Tony is a nice guy. Also do you plan on going to Buffcon this year? Maybe we could meet up.
