Buying old and/or second hand kits in Germany.

Is there any shops like King Kit in Germany where one can find and buy old and second hand kits?

 

Or does that market not exist in German concerning kits?

Hi Andre

 

I never heard from shops like those here in Germany, and i am every day in the internet. The main second hand market is just ebay.

 

Ok, sad to read. Even here in Sweden there are 2 or 3 shops concerning second hand market...

I think there are one or two in the south and there was one in the Ruhrpott some five years ago from which I bought some Craftmaster kits via eBay, but I only encountered the first two I have in mind via eBay (also quite some time ago). You may have luck with some of the few remaining kit Shops if and when they buy a stash/Collection. PM Models in Frankfurt used to have some old kits, but I have never been in it (and not yet bought via eBay as the Prices are too stiff for my taste). Well when I get around to rationalising my Collection you'll be well served 😉 (I hope). Your best bet probably would be Modellbau König who I think buy second Hand stuff, but they do not specialise in it.

 

Would Rebell be a place worth visiting if I got around to Stockholm ? He has a nice selection of books I regularly see on Abe, but the s&h is putting me off. He even had a number of the rather rare Ali e Colori at very sensible Prices but I hesitated for too Long...

If you visit Stockholm it's worth to visit both Rebell and Hobbybokhandeln.

 

Hobbybokhandeln is like KingKit in UK and sells lot of second hand kits. One can find both on Internet. There are also Alfa Hobby (Gothenburg) and Bromma Hobby (Stockholm).

 

Concerning Rebell check opening hours before you get there. If closed one can att phone till them or send them an e-mail concerning an private visit. They have loads of decals and resin parts as well.
