Greetings,

Just joined up here and I hope your expertise will help me out a bit.

Is there a reliable site or book guide you all use to value older kits?

I recently picked up a 1971 Revell DeHavilland Mosquito MK IV Bomber kit.

The kit is intact and unbuilt, even has the decal page in there too. The box is a bit rough but its all there as well.

Any recommended places I could go to find a value for this thing?

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Cheers,
Michael

You could see if it's listed here. Assigning a value is difficult, becuase a kit is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Sometimes you can get an impressive bidding war going on Ebay, with the result that the winner pays way more than the kit would really be worth, but you can't count on that.

Hi Jessica!

Thanks for the link and the info...

I will check em out!

And you are right about the value being hard.. I also sell other memorabilia and the price is generally entirely negotiated for things of collectable value.
