Well, if some fool does pay that much for that kit then bully for "scaledetail!"  No one is forcing anyone to buy anything on eBay and I thank the auction gods for such fools whenever I've put my items up for bid.

Mind you, I also curse those same gods when I realize that I've played the fool in overbiding for some trinket...

The thing is that later boxings of the Rotordyne come up fairly often and go for £20-£30 or so, which seems about right given how desireable and relatively rare they are. Multiplying that by three for a nice earlier box is taking the proverbial! :rolleyes:

You can find the most recent boxing on Kingkit for £11, I got mine a couple from there a couple of years ago for £13.  I saw a trader selling an early boxing at Waddington for £17, okay, if you're a collector it's worth paying a few quid more, but not £100!

Snigger - I've been watching another "normal" one that came on at the same time as the "collectible" one: it's just sold for £10.12....... ;D

That sub is excellent!  :thumbsup:

Another Rotodyne in that "collectable" type-2 boxing, just went for £25: about what I thought it should. A normal one also just went for £12.
