Well I'm starting to sell a few things on Trademe. I've given up buying kits that I'll never make, time to turn them back into money.

Hardly used it to be honest despite its recent 700 million dollar sale.

When it comes to buying kits, i still prefer ebay as buying overseas would normally allow me to get a few kits at a much cheaper rate.

Yep, ebay is certainly the way to go. I've managed to pick up quite a few kits that I've always wanted and will probably never build!

I've bought a few tamiya kits from Hong Kong buyers on ebay. Very good price and the freight is a lot cheaper then shipping from the USA. When you do a search for tamiya or dragon filter it to show what country the buyers are from

No I wasn't bidding.

I simply had my eye on it and was tracking the auction but misconstrued when it was to end and missed my chance.

Oh well all's fair in love and Trade me.

Just let me have first option if you want to sell the package at some stage in the future LOL.
