Price Listing?

efingeret · 11-19-2001, 09:56 AM

I know that there is no true way to determine what our collection is worth, but is there a price list anywhere for old and new models that would help us determine the aprox value of our collection? Not that I'm going to sell anything, but you never know. Ebay is too inflated sometimes to get a fare value estimate. Can any one help?

Actually, I think eBay is a great place to determine the value of a model - but only after several transactions have completed.

For example, I regularly see QANTAS F-1's go for US$70 to 90 but the other day I saw one auction go to US$200! Thats a ridiculous price; does this mean all our F-1's are worth $200? Of course not, this seller just found a very un-informed buyer, that all.

A nice feature on eBay is the completed items search. That way you can see several model's closing prices.

I agree with Tom 100% on this. ebay may from time to time have some nut going around and scooping up models without any thought to price but most of the time, they do represent the general sentiment, ergo, the price one would pay towards a certain model.
