ProStreetOnTheStrip Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Well my Aquisitions... I don't know whether to build it, keep it, or sell it. I paid $35 for it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunkypeanutbutter Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Well, you could probably sell it for three times that much with the right audience and the right timing... but if you like it, then build it! That's what kits were meant to be used for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRX7Project Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Why did you buy them? To build them or flip them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eshaver Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I got into this hobby to build models of cars I liked . I still do to this day . Yes, I have many waiting to be built . The reason for me ever hoarding them is that all my models eventually wind up in dioramas I do . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randx0 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I must be getting old are these vintage or rare? The box looks pretty beat up so I guess I don't see where the escalated price comes in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Build them. It's not a rare kit. I've seen it go for less money on ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High octane Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I just saw one for sale today for $70. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRX7Project Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 For sale does not mean sold. I could put my '53 Studebaker kit up for $70 but that doesn't mean I'll get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muncie Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 build them... and there is nothing that says they have to be built as Snake and Mongoose either this version is not that rare and not likely to increase in value - they can make more... basically, you got a great deal becaue it's two kits for $35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Rick Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Well my Aquisitions... I don't know whether to build it, keep it, or sell it. I paid $35 for it...image.jpg Build it, but first try and find the decals from the original kits; or decent repros ( if anyone offers them ? ) ...... they are alot nicer than the ones with this issue, the artwork is way different & much more superior - no comparison; it's shocking.

Pete J. Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 First of all, I only buy kits that I like and want to build. With over 400 kits, I can stop buying at any time. Once I decide I want to build something, I never look at what the kit might be worth to someone else. I didn't buy it for them. I bought it for me and for me to build. If you are a flipper or a kit seller, then that isn't for you. If you enjoy the hobby of building models, then build them and forget about someone may pay for one of your old kits. Collectors collect because they enjoy collecting, rare kit sellers sell rare kits because they enjoy that. Builder build because they love that. Doesn't matter what do, just do just enjoy what you do and don't worry about what others like to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle potts Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Did you buy it with the idea of building it? My guess is that you did, so just build it..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProStreetOnTheStrip Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 I bought it because I thought it was cool, btw everything is there, even decals. And the body to the snake looks like it was professionally done (it's already painted and decals on) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnbuzzed Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Build them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddyfink Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Oh, already started! Well then, value just dropped quite a bit! Might as well just build them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 If you bought them because you're a fan of those cars and you wanted to build them, then build them. They're not THAT rare and Revell could repop them again at any time. If you're not that interested in them, then sell them to someone who is. See? That was simple!

gtx6970 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) I bought it because I thought it was cool, btw everything is there, even decals. And the body to the snake looks like it was professionally done (it's already painted and decals on) $35 is about right then, its not like its a big dollar kit even mint . Ive got the better set of decals if your interested here is a sealed one if you want to watch it ,,,But my gutt tells me its about maxed out price wise http://www.ebay.com/itm/Revell-1-24-Snake-Mongoose-Combo-Model-/271788769794?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f47df8202 or Sold examples http://www.ebay.com/sch/Models-Kits-/1188/i.html?LH_Complete=1&_udlo=&_udhi=&_samilow=&_samihi=&_sadis=15&_stpos=&_sop=12&_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_nkw=snake+mongoose+set Edited March 2, 2015 by gtx6970 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
