Default Someone Slap Me...Who Pays $400 for this?

As a huge model collector and someone with lots of 911 models, I am dumbfounded (OK maybe I'm just dumb)...but I came across this....$400!!! - OUCH!

Yasin, that is what high quality models cost, I bought a model from a guy on Pelican for $75 that retails for over $500, he got it from his girlfriend and they broke up so he got rid of it, hey it was good for me.

I guess the company Minichamps is well known to build extremely high quality models. They supposedly build the official models endorsed by Porsche,MB,BMW.

You want to see real crazy, take a look at what John Deere Tractor models can go for.....very collectible.

When a model is not made any more it become more valuable to the collectors. I seen one about 5 years ago at the Porsche Memorbilia swap meet in LA for about $50. Man I should have bought it and make a nice profit.

Yasin you would need an 89 anyway so this is not suitable for you.
