Sell or Build?

Post by oldnovice »

Sell or Build? Advice needed because I can't decide.

Either that or I am too much of a coward to make a decision :lol:

I have, taking up space in my workshop (aka shed), a Trumpeter 1/200 USS Missouri BB-63 , plus the 1/200 USS BB-63 Missouri 1945 Detail set for Trumpeter (Teak Tone Wood Deck+PE+Barrels...).

I am not entirely sure I am going to have the space to actually build it. Once the hull is together, if I need to turn it around I will have to take it out, turn around, and back in. Needless to say that's going to get annoying real quick.

But I am not sure I can sell it. Ok, I am not sure I want to sell it. I know if I do decide to sell, I can't here as I am not at 100 posts as yet.


Helpppp. Opinions? Ideas? Anything... :lol:


Thanks :D

:lol: :lol: helpful lot
Sounds like you want to keep it...
Unless there is a niche market, you would likely sell it for a loss...
If you do sell it, you could buy something else to fill the space
...and we are back where we started. Circle of life ;)

lol well I did ask for anything I guess :lol:

Extending my shed has been, shall we say, discussed, mentioned, hinted at, (and in my head, planned, costed, and done about a dozen times).

But I think that is pretty conclusive thus far lol


Thanks :D

Don't think horizontally, think vertically? Just make sure everything is glued down beforehand :th:

Oh, did I mention you should keep it, build it and then buy another kit???
