Default Would YOU buy this???

Wow - am I missing something here? I know it's a beautiful model, but this is crazy! It's still got 2 days to go - how much higher can this go?

Herpa Wings Premium 1:200 KLM 747-400 Airliner Model - eBay (item 330217152068 end time Mar-14-08 15:55:53 PDT)

I don't know may be 600 $ but it's really nuts.
For this price you can buy multiple other rare
models.
But the passion can bring you to high limits.

If y'all check the bid history of this item, you'll see a bidder who has ZERO feedback.

Oftentimes, it's the SELLER who is masquerading as another "buyer" BUMPING UP the price of the item artificially.

I smell something very FISHY going on here ... and I'm NOT talking about Sushi, or whatever her name is.

Yup looks like we have a dishonest seller here. But that's just an opinion not accusation

I have a trader willing to sell this for ~$400, and I am still thinking. Seller seems to be very optimistic, but then there are desperados in this world, probably including me. I have sent out no limit price for Qatar A330s Doha Games

Hey BTW is anyone interested in Herpa 1:200 A340 TAP or Inflight200 B707 Ecaturiana. Mint in box. Wrong place I know, but just kind of lazy.
