The kit was almost retail cost, the full options were a sherman and a Tiger. The sherman was 250 the tiger 350. I asked him if the auction ened and none had sold would he accept 175 and 275 respectively. He declined and not one of his auctions made a sale. So yeah he priced himself out of the market.
Apart from my mega bargain from last week i generally find that ebay now either sells tat or is more expensive than retail now.
I've had a lot of bargains off Ebay, just have to be patient! Most second hand tamiya full options I'd consider bargains. I jus missed out on a tiger couple weeks ago went for £131 full option tamiya.

It's one of the reasons I envy you guys there in the UK... the hobby is so much bigger there... have tried to lock down some second hand Tamiyas..but dang the bidders here go nuts for them... pay almost the same price as the model brand new in the box
totally ridiculous in my mind ... but every man has his treasure
