1/16 Fov Tanks for how much??

Post by Jnewboy »

Some one please explane this to me??

http://www.ebay.com/itm/121985481322?_t ... EBIDX%3AIT

There is a buy it now of the same tank on ebay for $350... :wtf:

I figured it was the seller posing as a buyer pushing some poor saps bids higher and higher but why would they put that high of a bid?? AND.... if thats the case why not do it with this FOV Tiger listing also?? :crazy: :crazy:

Usually when you see a huge price like that it's because the seller is out of stock but doesn't want to take down the listing, expecting more stock. When they get more they lower the price.

At least that's one reason for a price like that, but I'm only guessing in this case.

You should see what the FOV King Tiger in the ammo crate that only a few thousand were made. I've seen then go for over $2000!

Could just be that they are becoming more rare. The other ones currently listed have at least 5 days to go and no bids but start at around 500.00.

There was a guy you bought them cheap and broke them down into parts to sell so what's left is bound to cost more if you really want one bad enough. It looks like some people do.

Hi,
Yea sounds about right. I bought mine about 6 years ago I paid £400 each for them but they were new out then. Brian...
