Used model kits in Dundee typically sell for £8 to £80 (about $11 to $110). Model kits are worth what their completeness says they are worth, and the crucial distinction is one word: sealed, started, or built.
Selling model kits in Dundee
Dundee was built on jute, jam and journalism and has reinvented itself around a design museum on the waterfront, two universities and a video games industry that started here and remains significant. The waterfront redevelopment has changed the city entirely.
Two universities clear student housing each June, and the games and design sector moves people on project cycles. Home-office and computing equipment turns over faster here than the city’s size would suggest.
The waterfront and the city square are the landmarks everyone uses and the centre is compact. The city climbs steeply away from the river, so ask about steps for anything heavy.
On computing and games equipment, ask its age and whether it ran under load. Development hardware here is often well specified but has worked far harder than a home machine of the same year.
Handing it over in Dundee

What model kits are worth
What lifts the price
- Sealed, unbuilt kits with intact sprues
- Complete with decals, instructions and parts
What pulls it down
- Started or part-built kits
- 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
- Open the box and check whether the sprues are still bagged and the decal sheet is present and unyellowed.
- Keep the instructions with the kit. A sealed kit without instructions is worth noticeably less than one with.

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.
