I'm looking at selling an 1/72 ICM TB-3 Soviet bomber but have just seen a daft price on line. Saw it on offer at 199.99 (not sure if $ or £'s)
Does anyone know if this is a rare kit ?
Plus does anyone no a good site for getting an idea of what some of these are really worth ?
Thanks for any help
Chris
I tend to use the Hannants price as a baseline.
I did a search on Ebay and one just sold in the US for $48 USD on Sept 4th. It started at $18.99. You can search on completed sales for up to 30 days in the past.

I wouldn't take ebay prices as a guide, bearing in mind idiots seem to pay over the odds for stuff they can buy cheaper off the shelf. What can go for a fortune one day can go fo a pittance a day later. Seen it happen.
Unfortunately, this nonsense is pushing up the prices on the second hand kit market. I saw an Attacker at Telford priced at £12 - for an Eastern Express one.

Thanks that actually sounds more like the price I was thinking of charging
Just found one on E-Bay for Euro 99.99 !
There's a Contrail Avro York (the complete kit one) going for a cool £130 as a Buy it now. It's been there for quite a while - bearing in mind the CMR York conversion is only £50 (I think) and a Revell Lanc is £15ish, you'd have to be a complete arse to buy it.
One of the traders at Yate had a TB-3 on his stand, for £85 IIRC!!
Needless to say it was still there when we packed up.
It's a BIG aeroplane though!
Thanks lads. I know what I'm going to do with it - I've 2 by the way which is why 1 is getting sold ;D
