Trading?

is there anyone or any place where you can tade models? i have some i dont ever care to make and some i want to. anyone have ideas?

Post what you got. SHipping can’t be too much, since model kits are pretty light.

Armorama.com has a trading and selling section on their forum.

fujimi Kv-107 II-4 … Star wars Millennium Falcon Collectors item 1979…

Italeri Plastic 1:72 nato Falcon… Hasegawa 1:72 Scale Aircraft In Action… i dont like the 1:72 scale

Oooh! an origional Falcon…

Buying, selling, trading is not allowed here. As mentioned, there are plenty of site where thAat is welcom, such as Armorama.

Except that is it prohibited in the Forums.

Sorry, but may I ask why it is not allowed? Seems like it would be a good idea.

From the Forum Guidelines:

  1. Advertisements. If you would like to advertise a product that your commercial company manufactures, or if you are an individual private seller, you can buy a classified ad in the magazine or an ad on the Web site. This includes all buying, selling, and trading. Any posts that appear to be an advertisement or transaction will be deleted.

Because FSM is protcecting is advertisors. If you offer an item for $10, and paying advertisors are offering the same item for $20, you are taking business away from them and in turn they would no longer buy advertising space. Therefore Kalbach would lose revenue and the mag would fold.

You might also try the buy/sell/trade forums on Hyperscale or Modeling Madness.

There are a lot of other forums out there as well that probably have a buy/trade sub-forum.

Just a word to the wise when trading at sites that allow it; MAKE sure you do a cursory search of the buy/trade forum for “bad traders”. Inevitably, some site newbie shows up posting a trade list. Then one of the more well known bad traders sends the newbie a PM or email to set up a deal.

A month later the newbie learns he’s been burned by a habitual bad trader and has to endure the sympathy of the site regulars along with the choruses of “I can’t believe you entered into a deal with him! Everyone knows he’s been cheating folks here for years!”

Bad traders normally avoid posting a response in the thread because the site’s veterans will post warnings about the bad trader.

wow that really sucks, some people mess it up for others, i was just wondering cuz i was selling them on site " E B*y" but their not much profet, i just want money to buy models i want to build. but i was just losing in the end. i mean i got a 100% selling on “E B&y” but i understand where you come from.

Missing-lynx.com is a great place to trade armor models, but it is one of the sites where an infamous scammer lurks (his posts are almost immediately identified and then deleted). Like clockwork, someone gets burned by this guy every 6 months or so.
