Try Ebay . I have bought quite a few ships on there. But you will have to be patient . It's surprising what people think their ships are worth. Currently there is someone selling a lot of P&O ships for about $100 each. Very overpriced . Still if people are willing to pay that much then someone will charge that much. You can often find bargains

well my arse is as big as the back end of the QE2

 

but if you get the right angle ......

 

oh wait, not that kind of model .....

 

I'll get my coat  

[MicCanberra]

I was thinking the same thing, LOL.

Jeez a $100 a pop. If they are selling them fore this price me thinks I will have to start buying these cheap models in the gift shop next cruise.

[MicCanberra]

I suppose $100 is still cheaper than doing the cruise to get one.

I have the model of ye olde Regal Princess (now Pacific Dawn) bought it on her last cruise in 2007, Sydney to LA.  Could be priceless.  As Regal was on her last voyage stock was being cleared, think I paid about US$10, minus my 10% Elite discount of course.

[MicCanberra]

The OP wants them to be cheaper.

I think Ship models are a great little kept sake  of your cruises.

They certainly are, I have a few, half of which are on loan to my 14 yr old grandson.

He must be wealthy at $100 a ship.

I like to collect the ship models, which is the main reason we do not cruise on the same ship twice. Keep the seapasses with the model makes a nice display.

I could possibly get hold of the Radiance and Solstice models for the OP if interested.

[MicCanberra]

Nice one, looks like some aeroplanes as well.

An insight into Gbenjo's world.

Some of your posts made me laugh good call 😂

I'm mainly battling to find a model of the Pacific Pearl and Dawn Princess for a reasonable price.

Would be very greatful if someone got one tucked away in a cupboard somewhere and would like to make some money 😀

I just started collecting models on my recent (8th) cruise.  I have taken 3 with my daughter and thought that this would be a good keepsake (albeit a bit late).  I need Oasis of the Seas and Anthem of the Seas to add to our Carnival Pride model.  Any chance someone can help me out?  I don't feel like spending $100 on ebay.

Just bumping thus up in case anyone is thinking about selling their cruise ship collection.

I'm wanting Pacific Pearl and Dawn Princess Please 😀

[Beejay4016]

We've only done a few cruises, but we love those little models that sit on our bookshelf. I'm so glad we bought the "Ryndam" when we did a Norwegian fjord cruise on her, and we really should make a point of sailing on her (and buying a model of her in her P&O livery) while she is still in Australia as the Aria, and then perhaps in her next incarnation - perhaps as a CMV vessel to join her old sister vessel, now the Vasco da Gama, a model of which we're looking forward to adding to our collection when we sail on her in a few months' time. Those models are like photographs in that they stir up such lovely memories.

[taffy62]

still looking for Pearl and Dawn 

anyone want to sell their collection and make some money 🙂
