Selling model kits in Coquitlam
Coquitlam sits at the eastern end of the region where the valley narrows, with mountains directly behind it and a rapid transit extension that arrived only recently and changed how the city works. It is one of a cluster of three cities that function together.
New transit-oriented housing has brought a wave of households furnishing from scratch, and the mountains behind the city mean outdoor equipment turns over on a real seasonal cycle.
The rapid transit stations are the easiest meeting points and have made small handovers far simpler here than they used to be. The city climbs towards the mountains, so for anything heavy confirm whether there are steps up to the door.
The city climbs towards the mountains and a great many homes have steps up to the door. Ask about the approach, not just the floor, before agreeing to collect anything heavy.

What model kits are worth
What lifts the price
- Out-of-production and limited-run kits
- Complete with decals, instructions and parts
What pulls it down
- Yellowed or cracked decal sheets
- Missing sprues and instructions
Working out what yours is worth
- Confirm every sprue is present and still bagged
- Note the kit number and scale
Getting it ready
- Count the sprues against the instruction sheet, and look for any part that has been cut off.
- Keep the instructions with the kit. A sealed kit without instructions is worth noticeably less than one with.

- Scale, stated as a ratio
Light and boxy, so posting is straightforward. Pack in an outer carton — the box art is a large part of the value on collectable kits and a crushed corner takes money off.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
