CrazyGirl Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 i saw that , heck in 1973 i bought a 65 356 for 600 dollars and it was mint
slusher Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 No way l could pay that for a model. l saw a model go for 400 this week also....
Chief Joseph Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 I dont to me this seems crazy price for a modelhttp://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=300882545045 That is really steep for that model, but it is a very desirable kit for the people who build studio scale Star Wars models. Parts of that kit were used on several different Star Wars miniatures.
monkeyclaw Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 All three of the entex 1/8 car kits command big $$$... They do rise & fall a bit with the market, and I have seen this kit bring $1200 in the past. The JPS car brings big dollars too; but the Marlboro car kills them all....I have seen the marlboro car sell in excess of $2200 on several occasions. I will also say that having built the RSR Porsche on more than one occasion; Dollars do not always equate to quality. The RSR is "wonky" at Best; virtually EVERY part of the model needs some type of fit adjustment, just to look decent....The biggest issue with the RSR is that the wheelbase of the chassis tub is NOT the same as the wheelbase of the body; and THAT is not an easy fix.... It's a shame the tooling wasn't better on this kit; but I guess they all can't be Tamiya 934/5's Matt
Harry P. Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 You think that's a high price for a kit? Have you bid on a Pocher Rolls Royce or Bugatti lately?
highway Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 You think that's a high price for a kit? Have you bid on a Pocher Rolls Royce or Bugatti lately? No, most of us don't make the big bucks like you do!!!
Mercman Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 You think that's a high price for a kit? Have you bid on a Pocher Rolls Royce or Bugatti lately? Many years ago the local K-Mart store was selling those Pocher kits for $29.95. Also back in the day a local toy store had floor to cieling Revell double kits for $0.50 ea. Hindsight being 20/20 wish I knew then what I know now. The 60 Ford Sunliner I just built for a client he paid $165.00 for. But it was mint sealed.
gtx6970 Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 Thats chump change, heres one for the big boys http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-8-scale-scratch-built-1931-Daimler-Double-Six-by-giuseppe-da-Corte-/160807401314?pt=Model_Kit_US&hash=item2570de3762
johnbuzzed Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 Someone will want it badly enough to pay that much for it. I really, really want a Johan '67 Fury kit, but I have my limits for what I would pay for one. To each his or her own.
TheRX7Project Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 Just wanted to say thanks for the link, I ended up bidding on another kit that popped up when I went to check that out.
