I have 7 kits I’ll probably never get around to that I’d like to sell. Two questions. Is it ok to list them for sale here on the forum? If not, can somebody recommend a website (other than ebay) or other option? The main problem is that they’re no longer in the box and most of them have lots of add-ons from Eduard, Wolfpack Design, or other resin companies.
I don’t think you are allowed to sell in the forums.

If you don’t mind me asking, what’s the aversion to eBay? It seems like it would be the easiest and safest way to make the sale.
edit- also, on reddit.com/r/modelmakers . People have sold on there before- usually people who end up with large collections from estate sales or dead relatives, but it has certainly been allowed in the past. It’s a group of modellers who would know what the extras are for, and likely wouldn’t mind a kit without a box. It’s a bit sketchier than using an easy service like eBay. You are reliant on direct Paypal, so there’s a better possibility of you either not getting paid or the other guy not getting his stuff without any real consequences.

I know that Armorama has a buy/sell section.
I’ve seen some Facebook selling sites.
Take a look at Scale Model Graveyard on Facebook. You can auction things off on weekends, straight up sell every other day.
I haven’t sold there, but there are so many neat things during the auctions. Resistence is futile.
Posted the list on Scale Model Graveyard this morning. They’re also listed on the IPMSUSA website. I’m just not into ebay.
