The Sort Of Collections We Actually Buy
Recent purchases have included vintage boxed kits, wooden ship kits, unusual radio-controlled boat models and specialist pieces from makers such as Billing Boats. Some collections are a few valuable kits; others fill a room.
If it looks niche, old, unusual or difficult to value, that’s often exactly where we’re most useful.
Selling A Large Collection?
Large collections are exactly what we’re looking for.
You don’t need to research or photograph every kit individually. A few clear photographs showing the collection, plus a rough list if you have one, is usually enough for us to get started.
We regularly buy collections built up over many years, including inherited collections and collections from modellers who are downsizing or leaving the hobby.
How It Works
1. Show Us What You Have
Send a few photos and any useful details. Lists or spreadsheets are helpful for bigger collections, but they aren’t essential.
2. We’ll Assess It
We’ll look at age, rarity, condition and current demand and let you know whether the collection is something we’d like to buy.
3. Get Paid
If we agree a deal, we’ll arrange collection or postage as appropriate. Once everything is checked, payment is made directly to your bank.
A Specialist Buyer, Not A Generic Valuation Site
Retroelectro has spent years buying and selling collectables, with more than 29,000 eBay sales and 99.9% positive feedback. We’re used to collections that don’t fit neatly into a price guide and to sellers who simply want a knowledgeable person to look at what they have and make the process straightforward.
You don’t need to know exactly what every kit is worth before you contact us. That’s the useful bit we bring.
Got A Collection To Sell?
Send us a few photographs and tell us roughly what you have. You don’t need to research every kit first. That’s our job.
