K5IKL Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 http://www.ebay.com/itm/140871256538?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Seller wanting $99.95 ($89.95 now) for the this old Revell kit. I offered her $40.00 and she countered with $79.95. I said no thanks. I built this kit back in the 70's when it first came out. It was my very first big scale jet build and I thought I might get this one just for an old nostalgia build. But, nope not at that price....I keep it on watch just to see if she will actually get that much for it. Cheers, Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Jerry There is another F4J on eBay with the bid at $9.99. why not take a shot at it. Just set your limit at $40 and see what happens for old times sake. Good lick on winning Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put it on the watch list to see how it goes. Not like I really need anymore Phantoms though.... Cheers, Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dekenba Posted December 8, 2012 Share Posted December 8, 2012 Some people seem to think that old kits are worth more in the same way as antiques gain value! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K5IKL Posted December 9, 2012 Author Share Posted December 9, 2012 Some people seem to think that old kits are worth more in the same way as antiques gain value! This person sells a little bit of everything and my thinking is that she had no idea what to price it at so she went and looked up other 1/32 F-4J's, saw the prices on the Tamiya kits and bingo thought $99.95 was an in the ball park price...

richdlc Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I'd leave it mate - no one's going to be stupid enough to pay $100 for that kit. As for contacting them - why bother. Let them keep paying a fee to list it week after week & they'll get the message (hopefully) when no-one bites. Having said that, there's a guy who keeps listing the 1/32 Scratchbuilders kit of the P-39 week after week at a very high price... If you want to sell, always start low!

Juggernut Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Listing is free here in the U.S. You only pay if you select additional services and the obligatory seller fees at auction end...if it sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Bellis Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 Oddly enough, that seller's prices for other LSP kits is more in line with market value. D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrysammy Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Or how about the moron on Ebay who continuously lists his 32nd Revell Mirage with MC Atar kit for $229.00 with a buy price of $259.00. And the kit has no box, no decals and is missing some parts. And he keeps listing it over and over for months now. You think he would catch on. Who does he think is going to bid on that loser?

Iain Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I wouldn't pay $40 for the old tool Revell Phantoms - $10 - $20 a more realistic ballpark IMHO. Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 (edited) The price is now $53.99. I bought that kit for my younger brother as a Christmas gift, I think it was 1967. He was 8 and didn't build models. He thought I was stupid. I think it was given away or thrown away when we moved to Texas the next summer.
