Really?? $6,000?? For a Tamiya 934

[Pete J.]

Ok, I know, I know.  It is worth whatever anyone will pay for it, but this seems excessive.  I have never seen one, so it might be as rare as the seller says, but $6,000 because it is molded in black instead of the usual white and a special box and decals?  Also the description uses very broken english.  I have to wonder if it is a scam.

I think it's clearly a real, and unusual, thing. But it looks like it's of that vintage where they still gave you a motor, so it's a big toy car. With the normal scale model versions running about 1/10th the price, I suspect the ONLY people interested would be Tamiya "completists." And in that market, as you say, it depends how much silly money they have, and whether a couple of them get into an ebay bidding war over it. For the rest of us, it's not remotely "worth" that asking price...

best,

I wonder if this is one of those kits where actually building it would kill the value. I mean, once painted and built, there's no way to differentiate it from the standard kit. 

I think it's excessive, but to a collector? maybe worth it?

Not to mention the $55 he wants for shipping.

One thing to note, this is an R/C car, not a static model
