Old Wombat's Stash Rationalisation

[Old Wombat]

Hi guys!

Having had "the discussion" with Mrs Wombat, & a good think about it, I've decided to remove a number of kits (nowhere near as many as SWMBO wanted) from the stash.

Prices are between 50% & 67% of what I paid for the kits (with one exception but that was a gift). Prices are negotiable via PM if you want something but think the price is excessive & can support that claim.

Prices are in Australian Dollars. Postage is payable by the buyer & is through Australia Post.

I'm giving What If Modelers & Beyond the Sprues members first dibs. I have a PayPal account but this is the first time I'll be using it to sell things, so bear with me as I work out the ropes.

So, "The List" is below:

[zenrat]

Oh you b'stard.
I thought I had my kit buying under control but your prices are too good.

Can I get the US Pilot & Ground crew set, the Ural, the Frogfoot, the Widgeon and a Battle.  Please and thank you.

Postage to Victoria, cheapest rate please.

[Old Wombat]

No prob! I'll check out postage tomorrow.

[Squizzette]

Seeing the Widgeon/Gosling still on your updated list. Did you have multiples?

If so, put me down for the Gosling, Shawnee and Skyray please.

Postage to Sydney.

Squizz

[Old Wombat]

Hi, Squizz!

Um, that's an "Oops!" moment, as the Widgeon/Gosling has been sold to zenrat.

Do you still want the other two?

[chrisonord]

Pity/good job you weren't nearer, as I would have, depleted some of that lot for sure.
Chris.

[Old Wombat]

One of the problems of living in Aus, everywhere else is pretty much half-a-world away! Makes postage costs a decisive factor.

[Squizzette]

Hi, Squizz!

No problem. And yes please still on the Shawnee and Skyray.

[Old Wombat]

Squizz, PM sent!

[zenrat]

I'd argue the rest of the world has the problem...

[Snowtrooper]

One of the problems of living in Aus, everywhere else is pretty much half-a-world away! Makes postage costs a decisive factor.

Not much of a consolation, but it seems to be same here in Finland. Postage even to neighboring European countries - never mind outside Europe - is ludicrously expensive, and then they wonder why Finnish webstores do not have much international customers. To add insult to injury, postage to Finland from any given country is usually only a fraction of the outgoing postage...

[Army of One]

I take it prices posted to UK will be high...? Interested in the Hokum, Hind n Havoc...

Probably but I can give you a definitive answer by tonight, mate!

[zenrat]

We had a customer last week who posted 5 litres of water Express Airmail to Denmark.
Cost them $150.  No idea why it had to be done.
