Papa Posted March 2, 2020 Share #1 Posted March 2, 2020 I have a Laughing Whale kit of the Spray. I was going to start it while working on the C W Morgan, but I have decided that I can not face another plank-on-frame kit. This kit lists for $180 at Bluejacket. I will let it go for $100 + shipping costs. It is complete, all the bags sealed and the laser cut parts still in their shrink wrap. mtaylor, rshousha and Ryland Craze 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share #2 Posted March 13, 2020 Anyone want to make an offer on the Spray? HIPEXEC and lmagna 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Posted October 12, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted October 12, 2020 Does someone want the Spray for the price of postage? I have more kits that I can build in what is left of my lifetime and i already have built a Skipjack, so this ship is a bit of a duplicate.

grsjax Posted October 13, 2020 Share #4 Posted October 13, 2020 Great kit. I would take it but I already have one in my stash. List it on eBay for $100 and it should sell pretty quickly. mtaylor 1 My advice and comments are always worth what you paid for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all where would you find so many modelers? I will be happy if someone builds it and has fun. Anyway, I do have someone interested and I need to check on postage.

mtdoramike Posted October 14, 2020 Share #6 Posted October 14, 2020 If they back out, I will give you $50.00 shipped for the kit. mtaylor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think the shipping will cost at least $20.00. Its a fat chance that it will go for $50.00 shipped. The buyer would be taking over a $150.00 hit. But I don't know the sellers situation.

mtdoramike Posted October 14, 2020 Share #8 Posted October 14, 2020 Resale values of kits notoriously run 50% less than retail. Which would put the value of this kit around $90.00. He posted if someone wanted it for postage. I offered considerably more than what postage should be on this kit. I'm not particularly interested in the kit and hope someone will step up and offer more than what I have. But if not, then I will take it.

List it on eBay for $100 and it should sell pretty quickly. I just sold two new Model Shipways kits that I lost interest in on eBay and was able to recoup what I paid plus enough to buy lunch (no big deal). https://www.ebay.com/itm/114430221299?ssPageName=STRK:MESOX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1561.l2649 https://www.ebay.com/itm/114430215984?ssPageName=STRK:MESOX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1561.l2649 I have found that if you open the bidding low enough (about 25% of retail) you can generate a lot of interest. And if you package it up weight and measure it then use the Ebay shipping calculator (and not try to screw the buyer). You have a real good chance of selling what ever you are selling for a good price. This goes for anything you might want to get rid of. The perfect scenario is you get two or more bidders in a bidding war. Of course if the bidders don't show up you are obligated to sell at what ever it goes for but at least I got rid of some of my junk. And believe me I have a lot of junk. mtaylor, Ryland Craze, lmagna and 2 others 5 "Peace is not something you wish for; It's something you make, Something you do, Something you are, And something you give away" by Robert Fulghum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
