Question Herpa Saudi Tristar

Does anyone have any idea how much the Herpa Saudi L1011 on old livery is worth now? I am thinking of selling mine coz I have switched to 1:400 collection.

StarJets makes the same airplane in much better detail, and the price on the Herpa is bound to drop!

KL729:
The average price for the Saudi L1011 by Herpa is around $150-$200 lately (according to average online sales on Ebay since May 1). If you're looking to buy a jet, defintely get the StarJets Saudi L1011...it's a beautiful model and much more accurate. Hope that helps

I agree....Starjets produce better details. KL....just open an account in Ebay....not really that hard. I see lots of people shifting to 400s now so post at Ebay quickly before the demand drops.
