Selling model kits in Bundaberg
Bundaberg is a sugar town with a distillery famous well beyond the region, sitting on a river that has flooded seriously more than once in living memory. Flood history is part of how people here think about storing anything valuable, and it is worth knowing when you buy.
Seasonal harvest work brings people in and out through the year, and households set up cheaply for a season are cleared just as quickly. Flood recovery also puts a great deal of replaced household equipment onto the market at once.
The city is flat and driving is easy, so collection is straightforward. For anything that has been stored at ground level near the river, it is entirely normal here to ask how it came through the last flood, and sellers expect the question.
Ask directly whether the item has ever been in floodwater. This town has flooded seriously more than once and flood-damaged motors and upholstery can look sound for months before they fail. Sellers here expect the question.
Handing it over in Bundaberg
Bank transfer via PayID is instant and is what most private buyers will offer. Cash on collection remains common for larger items.

Put in the description
- Manufacturer, kit number and subject
- Scale, stated as a ratio
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 on WishThrift and deal with the buyer direct. The city is flat and driving is easy, so collection is straightforward. For anything that has been stored at ground level near the river, it is entirely normal here to ask how it came through the last flood, and sellers expect the question.
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.
