So you want to sell printed kits privately?
Not through a publishing house?
This can be done...I do it.
But...its costly to print and package the kits.
I have to sell my printed kits at a lot more than people want to spend.
And shipping kits can be very expensive.
Postal rates are high all over the world now, and you must also consider the cost of protective packaging.
I don't ship kits any more...unless a customer is willing to pay for it.
I take my printed kits to model shows and other sales events, and sell them in person.
But honestly, I have sold very few printed kits.
I print my kits on good quality 65lb (Letter size) cardstock, using my home printer.
I print on the best/finest setting.
Cover pages and Instruction pages are printed on 25lb paper.
The entire kit is packaged in a mylar Letter size bag.
To ship, I try to use a padded envelope.
And a stiff card must be included.
