Yes this seller 'rarewon' has plenty of McLaren F1 GTRs on sale for outrageous prices, the custom ones for such that you easily buy a kit (100 USD) and let a professional built it for you (250 USD) to much better quality and accuracy. And needless to say the fantasy ones are a disgrace.

Lately in auctions with very good photos that you can identify it as the original in mint original packaging and not a "East turned West" or similar fake, the prices have been around 600-700 USD max, and at lowest around 300-400 USD. Original model without original packaging has been max around 400-450 USD when in mint condition, as some are already "loosing" the decals as they seem to crack easily due to age when they are not stored properly.

Hope that helps a bit!
