Papa Posted September 24, 2020 Share #1 Posted September 24, 2020 I have a Mamoli Victory that I started and totally lost interest in. I will give it away free! I can’t guarantee that everything is still in the box; I’m pretty sure that I may have cannibalized a few blocks over time. Shipping will be on the order of $100 which I think is too steep, but that’s what UPS told me a year or two ago when I offered this before. However, If someone within say 50 miles of Leesburg, VA , wants it I am willing to meet at a reasonable halfway point. I’d like to see this go to someone who will finish it rather than trash it. We are in the process of some serious down sizing; selling our home and buying a much smaller place and I am going to have to really restrict the ship yard. watch this space as there may well be more kits for sale or donation in the next 6 months.

Papa Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share #2 Posted September 25, 2020 The $100 quote from UPS. included boxing up by them. I can probably reduce that by boxing myself. I will look into that. stay tuned mtaylor, Old Collingwood and popeye the sailor 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Posted September 25, 2020 Share #3 Posted September 25, 2020 Have you considered US postal service. I have shipped large packages with them Often. ModelExpo uses USPS and Chuck at Syren does also.. While your actual numbers may be different, I calculated a 30x8x4 inch package at 5 pounds from VA to CA would cost $26.70. 2-day Priority..

mtdoramike Posted September 25, 2020 Share #5 Posted September 25, 2020 If you are getting a free kit, with the hull built and deck planked for $100.00 shipped by who ever packs it, I would jump on it. I have built this particular Mamoli Victory several years ago, and it is a nice kit that builds into a respectable model. If I wanted to build another Victory, I would be all over this deal like a frog on a June Bug.

Papa Posted September 27, 2020 Author Share #17 Posted September 27, 2020 With my own packaging which includes reconstructing a box to get the needed length, both USPS and UPS look like in the vicinity of $70 to send to California (worst case assumption). Large heavy boxes cost more and the box has to be like 30” long. If someone sends me their zip code I can weigh and measure more accurately and get a better estimate. popeye the sailor, VTHokiEE and mtaylor 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
