Oxfam in Edinburgh are selling 70-odd kits on ebay. Now obviously these are auctions so you don't know what the final price will be, but the starting prices are very reasonable and since POST & PACKING IS FREE, the possibility exists of getting a bargain (I just have: Revell Rotodyne for £12). There are planes, tanks, ships, figures, all sorts and scales, so well worth a look, and of course, it's all to help a charity:

Yes, but factor in the free P&P. Normal P&P charges can sometimes make an ebay "bargain" almost the same total cost as in the shops, and the kit in question has to actually be in your LHS, of course.
