<p>Welcome to the world of OOP Selling. I previously stated that this hobby will suffer when OOP Kits take off in insane amounts of profits to the Ebay seller. Why?</p><p>Because they continue to be out of production.</p><p>I sold the Walther's Barge and Float set and took advantage of the hot market for them some years back. The profit I saw on those items were quite substantial. I love the American Auction system as the Bidders themselves set the market.</p><p>The day Walthers (or anyone else for that matter) gets out of bed and brings back the OOP Kits, there will be a rush of air going out of the rapidly deflating ebay sales when they realize they can get the kit once again at the LHS retail for a heck of alot less than ebay.</p><p>In fact, I think some ebayers already established themselves with a bankroll, buy a garage full of kits, store it until it goes OOP, wait a year and then issue them onto ebay one by one for very nice profit margins.</p>
