Hello all.

I have a Hasegawa Fokker Dr.1 Museum Model IM trying to sell.

It brand new, never been used. I have photos if need of the box and sealed contents.

Theyre very expensive, this one is a unwanted present.

Any questions welcome.

Jon,
You need to put this in the classified section.

Jon you wrote me and I was too busy at the time to give you a proper reponse.

Dont Despair. These kits are not "Quick Sale" items per se and Especialy in the Absolute Depressionary US Economy now. ALL expensive item sales from appliances to cars to jewelry have ground to a near halt this side of the pond.

I say near becuase there is still hope for you yet. BUT I cuation to receive the Proper price for this item you must have patience. It could sell as quickly as a few weeks to take as long as a Year.

I checked with Squadron Mail order and was interested to find this example of the Re-Released Kit by Hasegawa is NO LONGER AVAILABLE at Squadron.

Meaning one of two things one: Squadron is no longer carrying them, two and perhaps more likely Hasegawa's secound prodcution run of this Kit re-released in 2001 is OVER.

Meaning Hang in their Jon. The last retail price for this kit was near $800 USD
($799.00)

Due to the Global Finanaical Probelms it may take you longer to find a home for it. Everyone would want one of these for CHEAP but you do yourself a dis-service IF you "give" it away as much as many a cash strapped enthusisits would love you to do.

I agree with Seeker. Place a Classifes Ad here. Also Large Scale Planes has a trader Forum you can make a Post for it. AS well as list it at other sites. I might suggest European Modeller Forum for you as well.

The World market may not be hurting as bad as the US alone just now and there are pleanty more worldwide customers for this kind of Kit.

I would LOVE to aquire a Third one BUT I have two already in the box and the third would mean me being thrown out of my own home.

Take your time and exerscise patience it will sell. Keep it well. DOnt lose the Documentation.

Most of alll however with respect for all CULT Ebay members. STAY AWAY from "Evil Bay".

Yours Mike

Mike,
You are correct! I have had an original Camel up for sale for many months.
The economy is hurting many people and patience is very important.

A few years ago at the hieght of our Previously Prospering Real Estate Based Economy I mistakenly had aquired a "3rd" Hase Camel Kit.

I tried evilbay. I tried ads, and FInally I did it on the cheap and listed it on my own Web page for Misterkit's WWI Acrylics to sell AS IS for the selling price and NOT an auction or best offer.

It took near a year BUT and out of the Blue a Museum in Australia contacted me and purchased it. With in two more months. Three other international Buyers contacted me too late to inquire.

Dont be discouraged you have Quite a GEM there and in MINT NIB (New in the BOx) Condition.

Yours MIke

..."I would LOVE to aquire a Third one BUT I have two already in the box and the third would mean me being thrown out of my own home."..

Yes, I can relate to that feeling, also......

Thanks Mike (and others)

I didnt notice the classifieds on here.

Cheers for the tips
