How rare / interesting / valuable are these kits?

Hello,

I've received these models from a friend. The idea is to trade them at a fair price or I could keep some of them. Anyway the first thing is to know how rare or interesting they are, as I had not seen any of them before.



Protar Ferrari F40 1/12
Fujimi Skyline GT R 1/12
AMT 1937 Cord 812 S/C 1/12
Doyusha Pontiac Firebird Transam 1/12
Doyusha Mercedes Benz 450 SLC 1/12
And inside Epson's printer box there is a Pocher Mercedes Benz 540K 1/8.

The only one I know is the protar F40, I've heard sometimes that is not a great model.

Regards

Not sure about how interesting they are, but...
The F40 price range I've seen is around 220~270us (Current exchange rates). Some what hard to find. I've seen 2 in total, in stores that are mostly covered in dust.
The GTR is around 300+, never seen that one in person and have only heard about the prices. Seems that the 1/12 GTR kits (no matter what type) are extremely hard to come by.
These prices AREN'T exact, but the only ones I've seen/heard of.

HTH
Steve

I have seen the 1/12th Pontiac Transam sell on an online auction site for close to $300.00US.

The Mercedes 450SLC sells from about $80-100 bucks. I see them on eBay fairly often.

Damn, I saw about 4 or 5 1/12 GTR kits at a hobby store here about 9 months ago for about $180 each. I should go back and see if they are still there.

Personally I think he's asking for waaaaaaaaaay too much..
check out the following links.
I also looked at his other rare items.. they seemed overpriced too...
"DOYUSHA 1/12 MODEL KIT CHEVROLET CORVETTE STINGRAY" can be bought for under 100 bucks in stores here. He's asking 189.99..
