Wow - As Seen On Ebay

[Crazy Ed]

I was wandering around ebay this morning and ran into this:

Ok I'm all for optimism but come on now.......... . If that kit sells at THAT price I just might get an ebay account and do a bit of selling myself !!

HOLY COW !!!! at that price you would have to be able to drive it....it would be fun anyway.

Looks like a typo, but even with the 2 extra zeros taken away, $30 bucks (shipping inclusive) is steep for a model like that!

I sent them a question about this.They probably just entered the incorrect price when they listed it.

They are a pretty good company and have a very good feedback.

If they get the question,the price will hopefully be set right.I think the price should be $22.00,not$2200.00.

I sell on Ebay and have done it myself.

Gotta agree with George on this one....Model Empire is a first class outfit.....22.00!

Ive noticed a trend as of late, At least in the model section of eBay. A majority of sellers no longer allowing the masses to determine what an items end price should be but rather put a high (sometimes extreme) starting price or a very high "buy it now" price and foregoing reserves all together. I'm all for free enterprise so its really just and observation rather than a gripe.

I'm sure Model empire made a typo so this isn't directed at them...

plus it looks like he corrected the price on it...

must have been because it is showing $22 + $8 shipping now.

Ummmm, errrr, not really. That was the first, (& only so far), reissue of that old & great MPC kit, & that reissue is around 14-15 years old itself now. That's actually a not too bad price for it, though I'd bet it one bought it at say a swapmeet, it might be around $20-$25, so without shipping it would be a bit lower.

Right $22 is pretty fair for this kit now. But if you are looking for the basic dragster it is disguised as the "Hippie Hemi" that was brought out by round2 this year...
