Model Airplane Builders
Is there value in models (airplanes, boats, planes, sci-fi) that have been completed?
I have a family member who recently passed away who was an avid model builder (from kits). His collection includes models of varying sizes & genres- from replica military equipment (planes, tanks, boats/carriers) to models from Star Wars, & all the different Star Trek series.
Is there a market out there to sell these models? If so, who should we contact to appraise/sell them?
Sorry to hear of your loss. Depending on how WELL they were completed, there is certainly value.
AS to selling them… I would check with a local hobby-shop. I’m not aware of any specific appraisers (even in my area). When I was younger, I used to display some of my completed models at the local hobby-shop with a business-card.
I’ve sold completed helicopters where the KIT cost $15 and I got $150 for my work. Then again, I had years with the actual helicopter and the models were “perfect”.
At a Local Hobby-shop you can usually find a bulletin board that will have adverts for others selling… it will give you a base to start pricing. You could then post photos of the kits you have and try to sell.
GOOD LUCK
