Aeropiccola New Member Seeking Advice Pre Sale Offering

Hi everyone. Thanks for the add. I bought two Aeropiccola kits Indiscret and La Flore probably 30 years ago with intent to build something other than trains. That never happened so now it is time to move them on to someone who will enjoy building them. My bent is model railways. Trying to establish a fair price is fraught so I have turned to this group for assistance if that is appropriate. If not let me know! I note that Indiscret appears to have sold for 130 English pounds (AU$250) back in 2021. I can find no mention of La Flore although a gentleman on another site has suggested price parity. Ebay listings in the US for Indiscret start at US$350 but I do not know how long the listings have been up or whether the kit has sold at this price in the past or indeed is a realistic asking price. There are two books as well. Can any member(s) provide some advice on fair pricing please and/or direct me to a competent source? Both kits are complete and have not been started. I believe that they are quite rare. Whether that affects the value is dictated by the market I guess. I am aware that Aeropiccola has ceased production of boat kits. Sincere thanks for any advice that is provided. Regards Des from Australia.

Hallo and a warm welcome here on board of our forum

Ja - these are older kits from the 1980s which were at this time very good - aeropiccola also sold them in Germany via company Steingräber

The La Flore kit in same condition f.e. is in moment on selling in Germany from a company for 79 Euro so appr. 130 AU$


For the Indiscret you can ask for more like the mentioned price of 2021

If you are not in a hurry you can offer them on ebay and wait - unfortunately with high international postal costs it will be not easy to sell them abroad
 
Hi Des,
Aeropiccola went out of business 30 years ago when their factory burnt down. The kits are hard to find these days.

Thank you Bryian. Appreciated. Given the rarity, and what appears to be quality timbers I was going to put them up at AU$500 the pair with books posted. Regards Des

I wish you good luck Des with the sale.

Perhaps advertise them on Gumtree listings to cater for local model builders down here.

Welcome board Des! I responded to you on the other site with some info, which I got from here. Glad you found this site and have found interested buyers. I was tempted but have enough to go on with as I have their HMS Bounty.
