Frequently Asked Questions
We buy both. Unbuilt kits (especially sealed in the original shrink wrap) tend to have the most predictable value, but well-built display models from quality manufacturers are also worth selling. Poorly assembled or damaged builds are harder to sell but we'll still evaluate them.
Yes, vintage Revell and Monogram kits from the 1950s–80s can be quite valuable, especially if still sealed. Even opened-but-unbuilt kits with all parts intact have collector value. Certain rare subjects and box art variations are particularly sought after.
We buy military models in all scales — 1:72, 1:48, 1:35, 1:32, 1:350, 1:700, and everything in between. Aircraft, armor, ships, figures, and vehicles in any scale.
Absolutely. We prefer buying entire collections. Send us photos or a list of what you have and we'll make an offer on the whole lot.
We don’t provide formal appraisals or market valuations. What we do offer is a free, no-obligation buy quote — we’ll review your collection and let you know what we’re willing to pay for it. Our buy price reflects wholesale value, which accounts for the time, fees, and effort involved in reselling. If you need a formal appraisal for insurance or estate purposes, we’d recommend contacting a certified appraiser.
Most sellers have a cash offer within 1–3 business days of sending us photos. Once you accept, we typically schedule pickup within a few days depending on your location and availability. From first contact to cash in hand, the whole process usually takes less than a week.
Selling a collection on eBay means photographing, listing, and shipping items one at a time — plus dealing with fees (12–15%), returns, and buyers who don’t pay. For a large collection, that can turn into a part-time job for months. When you sell to us, you get one cash offer for everything, we pick it up, and you’re done. You’ll net less per item than a patient eBay seller might, but you skip the hassle entirely and get paid immediately.
Our buy price is based on wholesale value, not retail or eBay pricing. Wholesale accounts for the time, storage, selling fees, and risk involved in reselling each item individually. The exact percentage depends on the collection — factors like brand, condition, demand, and volume all play a role. We’re transparent about how we arrive at our offer and there’s never any pressure or obligation.
Condition affects what we can offer, but it doesn’t automatically disqualify a collection. Items without original boxes, with wear, or with minor missing parts can still have value. That said, some items in poor condition or with low resale demand may not be worth purchasing. Send us photos and we’ll give you an honest assessment — if something doesn’t fit our buying criteria, we’ll let you know upfront.
Absolutely. Many sellers want to hold onto a few sentimental pieces and sell the rest. Just let us know what you’d like to keep. We’ll make an offer on whatever you’re ready to part with.
Cash, paid at the time of pickup. For larger transactions, we can also arrange payment via check or other methods — just let us know your preference when we set up the pickup.
Yes — we work with families in this situation regularly. You don’t need to know anything about what you have. Just send us photos of the collection — even overview shots of shelves, boxes, or storage areas — and we’ll identify everything, assess the value, and walk you through your options. There’s no pressure and no obligation.
