Here's a partial list of all the mistakes I may have made, some disclaimers and some general statements:

• There may be items on this list that are already sold, or are lost, or otherwise not available.
• There may be other items that I forgot to list.
• I may have priced some items incorrectly; some may be too expensive and some may be too cheap. The prices are guidelines only and in no way represent an obligation to sell at that price.
• All prices are open to negotiation so if you feel something is out of whack, call or email me.
• If you would like to make an offer on the entire collection, let's talk. I would whack, say, 50% off the listed prices to be finished with the project in one fell swoop. However I would have to keep some of the kits for my future use. That would be a negotiating point.
• The list was generated from a dump of a database I wrote for FileMaker Pro. As such it is only as accurate as I have been diligent in updating with new kits, deleting built or sold kits, or updating the status. So as we dig out specific kits we may find that the status has changed and we would come to a new agreement on price.

The database:

If you would like a copy of the FileMaker database structure (all the files, but empty of kits) email me and I can send you a copy. Some tables will remain populated (e.g. manufacturers and paints.) You will need FileMaker to run it.

Future plans are to rewrite this database as a web application served from a LAMP platform so that anyone can use it on any web browser from anywhere in the world.

How to buy or reserve kits:

All kits are available now, whether you want one kit or six or fifty.

But with this exception: I am going to wait a week (maybe slightly longer) before selling any of the more valuable items in an off-chance that someone may express interest in the entire collection. Usually the big ticket items are the reason someone picks up the entire lot and if those are cherry-picked I could be left with a large amount of hard-to-sell kits.

Here's what to do: send an email with the items you are interested in. Subject: Model Sale. Just copy/paste from the web sight will work. If more than one person wants a particular kit, the date/time on the email would determine who get first dibs.

I am going to let people look over this list, then after sometime around May 1, 2010, I am going to set up a weekend when the most number of interested people can come by and pick and choose amongst the ginormous piles. I live in Costa Mesa, 1/2 block from the OC Fair Grounds.
