(...) That's a valid approach. It MAY get you better returns, but is more work. There *is* a market for custom models (GoB does quite well) and the pirate area is underserved currently, so try it first. If you don't get the prices you want, then go (...)

(...) The best option for Pirate parts, IMHO, is breaking them up and eBaying the parts (if you want dollar return). A hull, for example, will get you from $20 to $35, depending on size, colour, and condition. (...) I don't want to be a naysayer, so (...)

FYI Gob in the UK is slang for mouth, as in "he has a big gob" - normally said about someone who talks too much or spit, as in "I am going to gob on you" - i am going to spit on you regards lawrence "Kevin Wilson" <kwilson_tccs@compuserve.com> wrote (...)
