Selling model kits in Abbotsford
Abbotsford is the agricultural centre of the valley, with berry and dairy farming on a large scale and a well-known airshow each summer. It sits right on the international border with mountains on both sides, and it is a working farming city rather than a commuter one.
Farm equipment turns over on a working life, and the seasonal berry harvest brings a large temporary workforce that furnishes and clears accommodation on the season. Family housing turns over more slowly.
Driving is essential and trailers are ordinary, which makes anything large easy to move. Farm addresses on rural routes are worth confirming with a landmark rather than relying on a map.
On farm equipment, ask whether it was used commercially. Agricultural work here is hard on machinery and a commercial season puts more hours on a machine than years of hobby use.
Handing it over in Abbotsford
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.

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.

- 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
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.
