Sold 99% of my Centuri collection over a year ago. I still have to much in the way of Kits, open Kits parts,Catalogs and other collectible stuff. my problem is with having MS and a heart condition, I do not have the energy to sell, pack or ship 1-z 2-z on Ebay. so unless someone wants to come to south Florida with a truck and cash in their hand. I guess my Kids will donate this stuff to the Vets or it might end up in the dump. they both do not have interest and a lack of time . I also have 50 years + of built models = 200 + I cannot enjoy them any more so I wont cry to see them go.

Sorry Neal for your challenges there; I know you have spoken of them before. Maybe you can throw together a few somewhat decent-sized boxes full of ‘stuff’, maybe one for parts, one for open kits, and one for catalogs/paperwork, and list each as a ‘lot’ on eBay, you might could move out most of what you have left for maybe just 2-3 shipments and one trip to the PO. But even doing that may be too much; only you can judge that, certainly. Just a few items left for me to snag: a Visible Astro kit, the cutaway engine plastic display item (both from the 1971 catalog) and that rocketeer’s tool kit in vinyl slipcase. Earl

I dig. Problem is, I’ve spent thousands this year. I’m spent out except hopefully, for lot deals, and help from folk . I miss many items being disabled. Sadly, I cannot pay auction prices now. Plus I was hoping to trade....

I've picked up a very small number of kits over the years, though I do plan to build them some day. Don't think that makes me a collector, but I do like to have a few from each old manufacturer. I really like the kits with the printed fin stock, haven't been able to crack open a sealed one of those yet. Also their multi-stagers with passport staging. I try to find open/complete kits, then they're easier to build. I've cloned a few with semroc parts - gotta be exact original dimensions with all the finicky parts of originals, of course.
