I am amazed at the number of old school box o stick kits that still sell on
eBay. If you have a snow plow it is a guaranteed $75.00+ sale. Almost the
same for the MOW camp cars. If it is a nicely assembled snow plow it could
go $200.00+. 

 

I am not knocking the kits because in the proper hands they build up to a
reasonably presentable car. Of the cars I bought at the John Bortz auction
all the cars I kept for me WERE from old school wood kits. Many of the cars
I sold were are well. Since they are so rarely assembled, visiting S Scalers
will know it is not a common car to see running which is why I kept them.

 

But if a kit is 40+ years old and is still a box of sticks why is the new
owner "going to be the one" to make it into a car? Is anyone here buying
them? Why?

 

I have heard from HO the "Westerfield shelf" where all of the unassembled
kits reside. I am down to my PRS reefers needing assembly but they are much
easier..

 

Thank You,
Bill Lane
