| I am putting together my used set Star Wars Republican Attack Gunship for resale
- but a lot of the white parts are discoloured. This is the image of them after
soaking in hydrogen peroxide (3%) overnight. Given they are still discoloured
I wonder if they are fit for resale? Is quite pricy to replace the lot, but
I don't want to disappoint the buyer! Any views on the best way to proceed?
Thanks

It is OK to sell faded used parts either as parts or in sets as long as the description
of the item for sale accurately describes the condition. You can use the extended
description and include words such as "many of the white parts yellowed/faded
but otherwise good condition". Obviously price accordingly.. IMO taking off the
price of replacing those parts would be a good basis.

My experience is unfortunately that any attempt to restore the whiteness will
fail. And I have tried many things. They will all return to being yellowed after
shorter or longer time. They are bin material.
Selling a complete set with parts like yours will be unacceptable - unless it
ia very clearly mentioned in the description and accepted by the buyer - and
the price must be lowered accordingly - which leads to the best solution - that
you replace the yellowed parts before listing the set for sale. Alternately part
out the rest of the set as parts if you don't want to replace the damaged
parts.

I think you'd have to describe them as yellowed and also indicate that you
have already given them a bath in hydrogen peroxide.

To my knowledge hydrogen peroxide does nothing in itself, you have to add direct
sunlight to it for a considerable amount of time.

| Whitening techniques all end up not working after a period of time and they fade
back to yellowed.
Please disclose that you've done that however you end up proceeding.

| I think the clear message from these replies is to declare the fact that some
parts are yellow, and hat they have been cleaned with peroxide. But maybe the
best suggestions is to replace them. thanks all for the feedback.
