Default Look what I won on Ebay

Won 12 Porsche 993's in 1/18th scale of varying colors.

These should make a nice little display to add to my existing 993's from AutoART.

Nice get, Cam! Was wondering what your post in OT was about.

Pretty sure he paid for them if they were on eBay. As such, the sale is essentially public knowledge since it's a completed listing, but I'll let Cam decide if he wants to disclose the price. IMHO, he got an absolute steal on those cars.

I paid 192.50 for all 12! So...$16 each...how cool is that?

My friend Kate lives in LA and she's arranging to pick them up today. I'm surprised I got them for this cheap as I had expected the bidding to easily go into the $200 - $300 range.

Cool collection Cam!!! Nice score! I used to collect Burago models when I was

Congrats Cam's, I haven't seen diecast buragos since I was a young boy. Sweet collection of colors too. Are you planning on putting them in a display case?

In my limited free time over the years ive built Japanese tamiya model kits. Mostly cars, however, some of my favorites are my WWII fighter planes, a P51 mustang, spitfire, and my favorite was the AH -64A apache longbow helocopter.

I'm in the middle of finishing a 2000 996 GT3 cup car, just need to finish sanding before I paint it L741, my 993 oem gloss black color
sidenote: I might sell the porsche if the price is right, Ive use a iwata airbrush kit and have been painting for nearly 11yrs now.

Anyway, sorry to slip off topic but I love model kit cars! Enjoy your new porsches bro.

Oh man its tempting to re-sell them but no my intention is to display them.

I've got 4 other 1/18th scale 993's (coupes) that are better quality so I'm quite confident I've now got most of the 993 colors. The only problem is most are now convertibles so I'll need to keep finding coupes.

I've got most of those except the one you sold me. Can you fire me the tracking number?
Thanks!
