all the pics have the same number as each other (1002/1500)

i think its nick masons, i dont know of another in that combination.

do you think its a scam? i thought you could only win these? do you think the guy has them, or trying to rip people off? also, how could he be so lucky to win that many if these auctions are real?

His feedback is good, he either hit the ENTER button too many times ( :loser: ) or he does actually have 38 to sell but got lazy on the photo's ( :eek7: :eek7: )

Does seem a lot of money though, especially just after Xmas :lol2: :lol2:

yeah, i know i started this thread, but im starting to think ive turned everyone against him (well sort of anyway)

i think if he explains himself, it'll be better than us all taking the pi**

he could be an honest seller with "x" amounts for sale!

It's common that some dealers buy a lot of the special editions for making a nice profit.

Quite rare - I have only seen one other copy before it in all my time watching Ebay. That livery was only used at one race as I recall so it's somewhat surprising they even made such a nice press kit.

It, like everything on Ebay, is worth what you, or I, or maybe even someone else is willing to pay for it. ;)

Thorst - quit showing off. :lol2:

The photo from the auction linked in the first post has now turned up in a one day auction from China. Price is a bit better :evillol: not that you have any chance at all of actually getting it of course...

Really? I've seen 3 in the past 2 months. One went for 50GBP last week so i guess thats the "market price"

Did I fail to mention that I haven't been paying such close attention recently? :icon16:

Strange that so many would suddenly appear out of thin air like that. The first one I saw was several weeks back now.

No problem. I'm not saying that this one will go for that, but that the last one did, so figure 50 give or take.

Some Minichamps collectors are nuts. For that asking price, one could have gotten an AB handbuilt version (Nick Mason) and change.
