Matt, there are model price guides , however , they're not always a decent barometer as values fluctuate all the time . You have e-model cars , Evil bay , I won't deal with them period and Crack 's list . You can spend all day perouseing every model forum on the net . Oh that takes time and then the big model shows . Shoot, I buy kits as I need a kit . If the guy is trying to finance his retirement , I have been known to tell someone , "Yer dreamin "!
Look, I happen to be in the meuseuem exibit business and I still handle Early Ford parts . Iwon't work certain shows cause the vendor fees are too high or the crowd is a looky luer bunch . Just about all the vendors that work the Virginia , Texas , and North carolina shows know who I am . I'm out to buy a model kit to actually BUILD IT . Hey, , I know thats a "federal krime" Ya wanna know sumthin else , I don't care ! If the price is within your're budget , buy the thing !
