Dpate Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I'm not a avid collector like i don't seek out stuff too just buy and collect, but THIS caught my eye. I was wanting too know if it was truly worth the money or less? A guy is wanting $50 for it with like 12$ shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnU Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Unless you reeeally really want the box art, you can probably do better price wise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 OMG!!! OMG!!! Here's one for ONLY $40, and $9.85 shipping. Better snap it up!!!

Shark Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 That kit has been issued several times with different box art and decals, so unless you are a 3 stooges collector, I would look elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Even if you want that particular box art, one can be found for less. On the flip side, a lot of people bashed the Stooges kits as being just a marketing thing, but try finding the last one ('25 T double kit) now...

deuces wild Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I love the Stooges but that's ridiculous!.... you could probably find one a lot cheaper.... Keep lookin'....😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Smith Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Mostly all builders or collectors with plans to build around here, so we see that kit a little different honestly. I would never pay $60 for it but I also don’t care about Three Stooges merchandise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RancheroSteve Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 The old adage is that it's worth what you're willing to pay, but when I'm thinking of buying something on eBay, I always check out the "sold" listings (scroll down and check the box on the left). Sellers are free to ask whatever they want for an item, but at least that gives you an idea what other buyers are actually paying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dpate Posted February 1, 2022 Author Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) Well i left an offer so we see how it goes. Well he accepted my off of $40. Y'all think that too high still? Edited February 1, 2022 by Dpate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 If you want it, and can afford it, then it's worth it. You can spend $40 on a couple of bad dinners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I bought one when it was a currently available item, probably paid mid-twenties for it. Retail was probably about $30, so an out of production item is likely to go higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not fully ripped off, just gently ripped off to that degree we all quietly consider acceptable when we irrationally want some hobby related item we see. We don't judge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where the heck did you copy that link from?!?! All you need to point someone to the eBy item is this short link (extracted from yours): https://www.ebay.com/itm/194489556766 Anything after that item number (starting with the first "?" is all the nefarious stuff eBay uses for all sorts of nasty tracking. They even show you that!.. If you look at that link, after the item #, it shows "?_trkparms= and bunch of code". No need give eBay all that tracking ability. Trim the URL!

Mark Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 If you want only this version, that narrows your choices considerably. If you just want a '40 sedan delivery, other issues are available, and one of those would be cheaper. A couple of years ago, I bought two first-issue, molded in yellow delivery kits, shipping included, for just under the retail price of two new kits. The sealed one goes on the shelf, opened one might get built. The cost of "just any" issue kit can vary wildly depending on the options available to you. You might find one unbuilt, in a bag, under the table at an IPMS meet for five bucks, or a sealed first issue at NNL East with the guy asking $100 for it. You pays your money and takes your choice.

Yes i just wanted this version. Not going to build it at all just display it the way it is. All n all with shipping and tax it was $55. That's the price of a game these days so I'm good.
