Since I have retired, I am in the process of downsizing my rather large 1/18 scale collection. I started with my Nascar models, as many are out of date, although some may be desirable from a vintage or historic perspective.
This is what my "Museum" looks like with select Nascar models removed.
Fortunately, I saved most of the boxes in my attic, and was able to rebox them.
Sold a few on eBay, and then an eBay buyer asked about the entire balance.
SOLD!
So how do you ship 200+ 1/18 scale Nascar diecast across the country, from Texas to North Carolina.
I could pack about ten in an 18x18x18 box, and mail them, which is what I did on my eBay auctions, but that costs about $75 per box. You can do the math, but shipping 200 would be prohibitively expensive!
Fortunately, after searching around, I found a freight carrier (R&L) who will drop ship an empty crate, and then pick it up and deliver it. The cost for a 48x48x48 is $575.
So here's, more or less, a time lapse.
A lot of credit goes to my son and his early addiction to Tetris.
