Used model kits in Amarillo typically sell for $11 to $110. Unbuilt kits are the collectable item; once built, value depends entirely on the quality of the work.
Selling model kits in Amarillo
Amarillo sits high on the plains in the middle of cattle country, with a beef processing industry of national significance, a helium reserve and a stretch of the old cross-country highway running through it. It is flat, windy and a long way from anywhere.
Cattle and processing employment runs on its own cycles, and the surrounding ranch country brings tools and equipment into the city. Distance from anywhere larger means goods circulate locally for longer.
The city is flat and on a grid, so addresses are easy and parking is generous. It serves a vast rural area, so buyers may be driving a long way in and will want a firm time.
Wind and grit are constants on the plains. Check bearings and moving parts on anything that lived outdoors, since abrasion here is a real and under-noticed form of wear.
Handing it over in Amarillo
The US resale market is enormous and highly local — most transactions still happen between people within driving distance of each other, and buyers expect to collect rather than wait for a courier.

- Missing sprues and instructions
Working out what yours is worth
- Check the decal sheet for yellowing
- 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.

- The box art straight on, filling the frame
- The instruction sheet, plus the box corners and any damage
Put in the description
- Manufacturer, kit number and subject
- Whether the decals and instructions are present, and the decal condition
Manufacturer, subject and scale: “Tamiya 1:35 Sherman Tank, Sealed” or “Airfix Spitfire 1:72, Started, Decals Intact”. Scale is a hard filter for modellers, and the word sealed carries a real premium — so it must be true.
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.

List it free here and arrange the handover with the buyer yourself. The city is flat and on a grid, so addresses are easy and parking is generous. It serves a vast rural area, so buyers may be driving a long way in and will want a firm time.
Are the decals still good?
Photograph the sheet. Decals yellow and go brittle with age, and it is the most common reason an otherwise complete old kit disappoints.
