How much? ... ah well, I suppose if someone wants it that badly?

This subject of collecting versus building comes up time and time again. I'm a modeller not a collector, but having a look through the stash recently, I have several of these so called collectors kits sitting on a shelf, all bought for far less that they seem to be worth at the moment on Ebay. All the kits were purchased with the aim of building at some time in the future, but will I build them? ... will I ever have the time to build them? ... so does that make me a collector by default? ... Maybe I'll stick the lot on Ebay and buy a radio control kit?

I think its the intention Nick. I also have some fairly expensive stuff in the stash, but I fully intend to build all of it.

As my wife often points out (and the reason I sold all my old Dinky toys last year), life is short and when people like us are gone, those left behind are likely to dispose of our belongings anyway so maybe the decision should be made to reduce a stash to what is possible to build, keep the favourites but sell the rest and enjoy the money while you can! ;D

I sold most of the European trucks a couple of years ago. I have a few old 1/25 AMT 'collectibles' including trailers and a raft of 1/24 emergency stuff in the stash, along with a few 1/16 kits. The fire stuff, I intend to build the majority of them, along with converting some of the American trucks into emergency vehicles. Well, that's the plan anyway.
