bigdaddyfan Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 I have been a bit ill with a cold as of late but until a browsing session yesterday on eBay did I realize just how sick I may be. I think I am hallucinating. I found a seller, damaze5, who has some out there prices on some old kits (my opinion). I have a couple of the kits he has posted and had no idea I could pay two months rent with them. All I can say is WOW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brizio Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Just remember... a product is worth whatever a buyer is willing to pay for it. X2... Probably, have this model kit on sale for months... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuel Coupe Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Just remember... a product is worth whatever a buyer is willing to pay for it. Exactly, who's the real fool here. The one selling or the one buying. I sold a pretty comprehensive drag car model collection about 10 years ago. About 2000 cars ranging from 1959 to the early 90's. I was selling them all on eBay with a starting price of $9.99 each with no reserve and let the models do the selling. I'll tell you this; I was astounded at what some of the models sold for.

Matt P Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 What I can't believe is the shipping prices some people charge. Ebay won't let me charge more than $4.00 to ship a heavy textbook that I sell on their site, but people will charge upwards of $15.00 for shipping a model car. I don't mind paying or bidding up a kit that I really want, that's what drives the market. I refuse to buy anything with outrageous shipping prices anymore.

I think sometimes though people get tired of paying eBay's ever-rising fees, so extra shipping charges with lower prices is a way to keep more money for yourself. I once bought some 1:1 take-off wheels for dirt cheap with a high shipping charge...ended up paying $40/wheel for new GM wheels shipped. Sometimes there's more than one way to skin a cat!

Modelmartin Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 There was a seller by the name of Scat Pack who had an IMC Little Red Wagon in their Ebay Store for 2 years with a price of $205.00 Gee! I wonder why it didn't sell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point Jeff, I didn't realize that people do that. It makes sense though. Thanks for the insight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why it didn't sell? I once saw an early '60's JoHan Olds kit with missing and broken parts listed at just a tick under $300. I don't remember if it sold or not, but whoa! Really!?
