Julien Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 This is a thing which sometimes happens on amazon where stuff gets priced up and up when people tell computer systems its rare. Its called algorithmic pricing and its why one book was listed for $23,698,655.93 !!! http://www.michaeleisen.org/blog/?p=358 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 im not sure if its similar, but i was looking for something for my fish tank, on e-bay the item on one site was £199, everywhere else it was £15, when i contacted the seller, it was a shop, the item was out of stock at that moment so they had put price up so no one would order!, Strange but true.

pigsty Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I didn't think it would affect the price that much.Don't forget, at that price it's gone into the Kit Collector market, not the modelling market. The contents are only part of the story. What type of packaging it is, how rare that packaging is, when in the kit's history it was used, whether it's damaged ... all these things matter to collectors. If you've ever bought a kit out of a big cardboard box at a show and cared only whether the parts were unbroken and the decals unmarked, you (like me) will find it all incomprehensible. You may then (like me) start to curse the collectors and the effect their depredations are having on the prices of kits, especially if (like me) you believe kits exist to be built and should not be kept out of builders' hands by people who think the correct thing to do is leave them in the box and gloat over them.I'm aware that you wouldn't have to change much of that to describe our stashes. But they're completely different, for reasons that will come to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxbat Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I'm aware that you wouldn't have to change much of that to describe our stashes. But they're completely different, for reasons that will come to me. Intent - every kit in my stash was bought to be built. Most of them were meant to be started the day I bought them. I'm a glacially slow builder NOT a collector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozzy19 Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 I completely agree with you Seán. I was trying to get hold of a Hasegawa FG.1 with FAA markings and it was close to impossible without getting one at an extortionate price. I'm not that fussed about the decals, I usually replace them anyway. My stash exists because I've bought kits that I'd been looking for, and hadn't found for ages. So I now have the comfort in knowing that I've got a small fall back on a number of kits that I really want to build (at some point). Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
