Try this offer:

Booh ey

No translation needed... This guy wants to have at least 160 US-$ for this bird. I´m passing this one.

Mein Gott!!!!!!!!!
150 Euros for that Hogan!?!?!
The sellers is:
1) mad?
2) evil?
3) simply stupid?
4) an alien?

It is a rare model, but until recently, sold for 360HK dollars at Cathay Pacific....wake up!

Hi B-huj.
Ops ! I payed mine 450HK$ ! :-(

Maybe he payed for a overnight shipping from HK ! ;-)
Or better to say that he wants to cheat some young collector.

BTW the model is very nice and worth what "I" payed.

Very interesting to see that the same model was sold a week before at 55USD or so.

Cheers!

Ethan.

Ethan, that model is not bad,
but my GF insists I don't collect cargo models and I don't have the space to park that Jumbo....But I also like it!

Anyway, you paid an OK price, because 360HKD is the price you pay in the counter in the CX shop within CX offices....Shipping is not cheap!

Good hunting everyone! I am saving for a next premium!

B-huj ... Just curious ....
Are you're talking about HP or to other upcoming CX premium releases ? Any news to share ?

Ethan.

No news to share. I am referring to the Thai A300-600, which is an Asian livery, and likely to show up in my imaginary airport (which someday will become a small diorama).

As for a next CX release, I am affraid I can confidently tell you that whatever they had planned, they will keep it on hold. They are planning to freeze more flights and demand staff to take no-pay leaves for some months. No cash to invest on toys I am affraid.

Seems the future of the carrier depends greatly on how soon the SARS paranoia dissolves.

And Nobbe, my GirlFriend is the CEO of my fleet in some way. She has a very influential word on what fleet expansions we can make. Sometimes, she plays a vital role in purchase on new aircrafts, like the latest BA 757, currently parked in HKG until we can fly it to TPE.

I suggest not to marry her. My "GF" is also continously claiming the existence of 1/50 scale B727 and Caravelle in our living room and I did NOT tell her so far, that B707 of same scale is on the way....
Actually I do expect the famous question "Take me OR your models, make your choice!!", but she won't be happy to hear my answer. We have to give priorities to our life!

B-huj · 05-09-2003, 04:00 AM

well flieger,

so sorry for you, collecting models and living with that woman must not be an easy task.

my case is not as bad as you think!
my premium expo2000 is a present from her, and she helps me buy planes in Hong Kong...a third of my fleet is her collaboration.
mmm, but if I include a 1/50 707 in my collection, then things will probably turn sour

Nobbe · 05-14-2003, 09:51 AM

Update on the eBay auction: the plane has not been sold.

But you can try your luck again: it´s on auction again - at the same price!

B-huj · 05-15-2003, 05:38 AM

this is solid evidence that the model is absolutely overpriced.

Ethan · 05-24-2003, 03:34 AM

The "Item" is now on the auction again ... BUT !! The price was LOWERED !! heheheh

Now "only" 129Euro ....

I think someone has to send him an email and let him know the real price of that thing .. :-P

Ethan.
