Used model kits in Jacksonville typically sell for $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 Jacksonville
Jacksonville is a large naval city on the water with a warm, humid climate. Fishing and boating gear has a deep local market, and the humidity is the thing to ask about for anything that has been stored in a garage.
Naval postings move households on a regular cycle and departing families sell rather than ship. Boats and fishing gear change hands year-round because the season effectively never closes here.
The city covers an enormous area and the river divides it, so the crossing you need matters more than the distance. Collection is by car and parking is easy nearly everywhere.
Humidity and salt together are hard on anything mechanical or electronic. Ask where it was stored, and for a boat or trailer check the wiring and the hardware rather than the paint.
Handing it over in Jacksonville
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.
