I am announcing today a sale of the seventh and last part of Richard Hendrickson's reserve of HO scale resin kits, Sunshine and a number of "smaller" manufacturers are included in this batch. Only a few of these are still available, so this is an opportunity for many of you. The list is attached below, for the 7th group of kits.

Let me clarify what these sales are about. I know it was Richard's wish that these models find good homes, and that is why they are first being offered here. They can of course be readily sold on eBay, but before that, are offered here for those who might want them.

I will conduct the sale in the following way. Anyone wishing to buy kits should submit a bid directly to me, one and only one bid per kit, though of course you might wish to bid on more than one kit. [PLEASE remember to submit bids OFF the list, directly to me.] The highest bid for each kit will win, or, in case of a tie, the earliest bid will win.

The deadline for bids will be noon, Pacific time, on Tuesday, February 10. I will notify winning bidders promptly with payment instructions. If you do not hear from me by 3 PM Pacific time on February 10, 2015, you were not the successful bidder. I greatly prefer PayPal and will notify winners how to proceed on that; if PayPal is impossible for you, a check or money order is possible (include that information in your bid), and again, I will notify you how to submit it.

Minimum bid on each kit is $20, plus a nominal $6 for shipping for the first kit, $2 for each additional kit. These are only estimates of shipping costs, and your PayPal invoice will include ACTUAL shipping and insurance. All net revenue goes to Richard's widow Sandra. Kits remaining unsold on February 10 will go on eBay later. Following this batch of resin kits, there only remain some smaller batches of styrene kits, and thereafter I will work out how to offer some of Richard's built-up freight cars for auction.
