As all are aware under table sales are banned for Branch & SIGs that are not traders for a number of good reasons. Stash sales are all handled by the Kitswap, where the IPMS assigned a separate designated area for members to sell their models (& accessories) with the IPMS doing the administration whilst you go enjoy the show and collect the unsold items and their takings at the end of the weekend (less a % for the IPMS for doing it).
Best post this up again for this year as Weaver has already done his pre-sales post
and people may be looking for something specific
We have also noticed over the years that when we get chatting later on and discuss what people are after, we used to discover that some were after older Out of Production kits for a project and can not find what they were after or the price is in the collectors range way to much for a builders project. Now as it happens probably 8 out of 10 times somebody will chime in that they may have a surplus kit of that in their stash and that they should have asked before the show, so here's you opportunity !!!!
Please put any requests for specific models that you are looking for at SMW, in this thread, as members who are also going or know someone that is can then arrange a deal via the PM system (but please say if a deal has been reached and the request fulfilled !). It does work and it does save on disappointment.
Also if nobody has one to spare in their stash, their are some in the group who are expert searchers at the show, and can often ferret out a model on stands that you think that you have scoured.
Generally most modellers tend to go to pick up the latest kits or clearance items whilst collectors look for specific boxings, however What-if and Project Cancelled modellers may have different requirements and look for older kits due to subject, hack-up ability and shape for use in creating a completely different model. So we can have quite a varied wants list.
