Title: The Flight of the Wingnuts
Post by: bobs_buckles on November 25, 2015, 07:43:11 PM: Hello all,
I'm in the process of cataloging my Wingnut collection. Some, if not all, will be sold over the coming months.
I would like most of them to be sold within the UK for ease of postage, but, I'm willing to send to anywhere in the world if full postage and packing charges are met.

First up: £50 + postage costs
Sopwith Snipe - Late

All bags are sealed.

Interested? Send me a private message or holla on here!

Bob ;)

Post by: WarrenD on November 27, 2015, 12:31:48 AM: LOL, I was thinking of liquidating all of my WNW kits as well, but knew from prior experience with this kind of thing to either post them all, or just one at a time without saying what you were up to. Otherwise you get this "do you have X? if so, I want it" frenzy.

Post by: bobs_buckles on November 27, 2015, 03:29:05 AM: Well, I need to fund a trip to New Zealand and selling off most of my Nuts will go a little way towards the air fare.

I'm not one of those modellers who worries if a kit goes out of print. I won't regret selling most of my Wnuts, I will regret never getting on that plane.
The kits have gotta go!

I'm working on a fair method of selling them. I will rely purely on market forces and this will be based on an escalator based on bids. I sell one kit at a time. Each kit has a 7 day window to be bid on. Members PM me their bids. I keep you all updated via the escalator. The member who wins the kit will remain anonymous.

So, it will go something like this.
Albatros DV for sale. Box photo with contents.

Starting time & Date (GMT) 22.00hrs 23rd December 2015
Ending time (GMT) 22.00hrs 30th December 2015

Someone bids £10 via PM. I strike off the £10 so members know to bid higher. Another bid comes in @ a squillion quid and so on... ;-) Oh... and I get to fly business class if that happens! lol
If someone snipes a bid in the last few seconds and I can verify it, it will count.

It all comes down to you guys and how much you want the kit. Market forces wins & it takes away any favouritism on my part.

~~£10~~
£20
£30
£40
£50
£60
£70
~~£10000000000000000~~

Hope this makes sense.

You have caught my attention, how will postage be handled?

Post by: bobs_buckles on November 27, 2015, 05:48:56 PM: Hi Lance,
Good question.
I need to take a 'Nut' of average weight to my local post office and have the dude call out some prices for domestic and international shipping.
I'm on it!

Title: Re: The Flight of the Wingnuts
Post by: ALBATROS1234 on November 27, 2015, 06:31:23 PM: i ship and get shipped to frequently so my guess is between $15 and $20 to ship 1 kit to the u.s. i imagine this would mainly make sense with oop kits as the ones we can still get from wnw would cause too great a loss for you . ie if you sell a pfalz "god forbid" which can be gotten factory fresh for $69 flat or 45.72 pounds sterling from wnw assume @$15 shipping this would mean you would have to sell at $54 or 35.78 pounds sterling.@20 shipping you would have to sell at 32.46 pounds to match what one would have to pay for one direct from wnw. no one is going to pay more for something so easily gotten direct from the maker.and this doesnt even figure your loss due to vat. oop kits you can ask for bids and whoever wins pays that plus actual postage.

Post by: mike in calif on November 28, 2015, 12:48:34 AM: I cannot even fathom Von Buckles parting with a Pfalz, it almost reeks of heresy to even suggest that!
Best of luck with the sales Bob, this is how I funded a trip to Oz some years ago.

Post by: Suffolk Lad on November 28, 2015, 01:50:02 AM: Ah I get it Von Bob, you sell off all your WnW kits to get to NZ so you can buy more to bring home - I like it ;)

Go for it :)
