danbuoy Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Apologies if this isn't the correct section for this, but an, admittedly sealed, Matchbox LRDG set went for £87 yesterday on eBay! Interestingly, a Revell re-boxing of the same kit only sold for £23, also yesterday. I know that this seems to be one of the more sought after Matchbox kits, but I've never seen one go for anything near that before. Made me wonder if "SAS: Rogue Heroes" has had an effect, as both SAS Jeeps and LRDG Chevrolet trucks feature heavily in that! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsman Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Or it's just Collector Madness.......... Or Auction Red Mist........ I used to use a training video about a fictitious vintage car called a Trophy Hanker Four and someone who really wanted it and ended up paying far more than he wanted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbuoy Posted November 29, 2022 Author Share Posted November 29, 2022 Think the most I've seen that kit go for previously is around £30. I suppose all it takes sometimes is 2 stubborn bidders who REALLY want it and just refuse to back down! Needless to say, my search goes on, as that was more than I was willing to pay!

Rob G Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Two stubborn bidders, or one idiot and an unscrupulous seller with a fake second account... Don't scoff, I've seen it happen often enough that it's got to be a fact - quite often, the same seller will relist the item a week after the auction ends. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
