It's pretty easy to ignore EBay these days. With patience and research, it used to be fairly easy to bag some bargains, but these days the prices tend to be higher than buying retail!

Jack Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 yeah that might be, but it's going over the hill recently, and the "hold-on-system" which is just the mandatory system it' s going lately, by just being a "customer" of their system made me decide to just ignore it, am glad about it, i feel i've entered a virtual corkscrew i can't get away from. Anyhow, i haven't been using this way of dealing with deals a loooooong time, just screw it allllllll the way.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanKB Posted April 13 Author Share Posted April 13 An Eduard P-40N kit just sold via auction on EBay for £125 including postage. That's still a little steep for me, but far more realistic than £185. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanKB Posted April 13 Author Share Posted April 13 Here's today's example of "WTAF?" EBay pricing. Yes, it's OOP, but even so, bidding optimistically starts at £130 + £6 shipping. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404236691255?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=NaC4Z-oMQt6&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=4UKRxqbYQoS&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanKB Posted April 14 Author Share Posted April 14 Todays "Stupid EBay 1/32 kit price" (©) is brought to you courtesy of Wingnut Wings. The Wingnut Wings Hansa-Brandenburg W.12 Early, certainly one of WNW's better kits, it's been in demand for years. You can have this kit for a mere £490, plus £6 postage.

DeanKB Posted April 14 Author Share Posted April 14 I spoke too soon!! A WNW DH.9 kit, never one of the most popular of WNW's offerings, is available for £350. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/125722245904?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=CvKtum2cQqu&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=4UKRxqbYQoS&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY A WNW Fokker D.VII (OAW), popular but certainly not £375 popular. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225433923548?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=m7VUpVs8R_6&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=4UKRxqbYQoS&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY And the granddaddy of all Wingnut WIngs inflated prices following the "Sold Out" signs appearing, the old WNW Gotha G.IV. Yours for a mere £799. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266180026514?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=1IkgIVJaQtm&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=4UKRxqbYQoS&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY There are also Pup & Snipe kits available for £259.95 a piece. These sellers are greedy and haven't done their research. Yes, there once was a time when WNW kits went for silly money, but those days are long past. Roden, CSM, Lukgraph, Silver Wings, Special Hobby, etc all offer WWI & inter-war kits at very reasonable prices, with a steady stream of WNW kits on EBay selling if priced correctly.

Redcap1960 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Intriguing about the DH9 as I have one available for £125 and I can offer delivery in person for a goodly chunk of the UK.

Rick Griewski Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 The Fokker DVII (OAW) is the only kit that I do not have. I must have been living under a rock (called day job) to not have one. DeanKB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TankBuster Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 You need to have a look at what they actually sell for. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbk57 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 WNW or other collector kits and out of production kits are not the fault of ebay for high prices. Buyers have long over paid for WNW kits even when WNW was in business the prices were high on ebay. Any bonafiedly rare and high relative demand item is going to find high prices on a general market place whether eBay or something else. By high relative demand, I mean that as 1/32 modelers were are a niche market but the WNW kits have a broad enough appeal they are high demand within our niche. If they were suddenly cheap I would buy them up as would many others so price goes up until one person will pay the price for one kit. This is just free market economics and is not ebays fault. Someone posted the kitty hawk king fisher, now that one, with patience I bet you could find a deal, someone will under price that kit if you wait long enough and you could get it cheap. But WNW is an outlier and those are going to move on to the collectors world if they are not there already. I am not interested in being a kit collector as they don't store well. Really you have something that will very quickly degrade if not well protected. Redcap1960 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
