Herpa Royal Brunei 767 on Ebay.

I've just seen this Herpa Royal Brunei 767 on Ebay with a starting price of £45
Am I missing something. Surely it's not worth anything near that.
I bought 2 over a short period from Ebay for less than £10.
Did I get a bargain or is this seller taking the p###.

Re: Herpa Royal Brunei 767 on Ebay.

I remember seeing this same listing last year by the same seller and he listed it for 50 pounds - it's no surprise that he hasn't found a buyer yet. I guess he's really attached to this particular model!

It's worth what a buyer is willing to pay for it........ the wonders of the free market system.

Re: Herpa Royal Brunei 767 on Ebay.

This is why I left 1:500 for 1:400 because of this kind of rubbish.
45 pounds for that model is pathetic.

Re: Herpa Royal Brunei 767 on Ebay.

Just in case anyone is thinking about bidding on it !!!!!.
I will happily let one of mine go for 30.00 GBP inclusive of postage. I'll even throw in two of RBA safety cards and four RBA sick bags.
As the seller says:
"Limited Edition and extremely rare. Royal Brunei have not given any further authorisation for models to be made using their livery. I paid £60 for this model in 2000 (Very Rare and hard to find)".

Though I have a feeling that no one will take me up on my offer.

The RBA sick bags will come in handy for us after seeing that eBay listing, Pete!

Value is in the eye of the beholder, but this is an exception to that stinky rule! I got mine for about $5USD.
