Re: Why is this so expensive and what's rare about it??
Good question ... According to the DAC database 2000 were made ... Exclusively for EasyJet .. ??
13 bids by 4 bidders ? ... Most by someone relatively new to eBay ?? Buddy Last edited by BuddyK; 05-05-2008 at 11:18 PM. |

I picked up one last year for £0.99 on Ebay
 , mind you it was listed as easyket A319! That typo got me a deal! It will be as expensive as someone is willing to pay I suppose. |

This model wasnt exclusively made for Easy Jets. It was un-licenced therefore there werent so many people know about it. |
