    Whoa what did I miss in the last couple of years. I just bought a bunch lambos from AUTOart and I noticed that the older diecast aventador are all $600+ !! But the other ones seem to have stayed the same. Even the Walter wolf countach is crazy. All I need now is the violet SVJ.

    Hey there DX! Its been a while. Took a break from 1:18 and now want to catch up where I left off. Did AUTOart release a Carbon version of Centenario roadster? I really like the green coupe. Want to try to get a green coupe and carbon roadster.

    I don't know why it isn't listed, they are all limited at some point, but not with a certificate if that is what you mean.

    Oh damn. They were too lazy to print new instructions too. The old one says lift the spoiler before opening engine cover. If someone does that, its gonna break off

    I guess they're going to cut corners and charge more. That seems to be the AUTOart way!

    PM the seller before you buy it is always good ! Seller listed a Diablo GTR and Coutach 5000S AUTOart for bidding. Asked him if he would do 100 shipped each. He agreed and scored 2 models (1 damaged a bit, other looks new) without box.

    TALSCTSV yeah once I get the model, I have to find out should I fix the minor paint issues or leave them as is and the mirror too. Are you missing mirrors for it too?

    Hopefully the paint issues won't be bad. Yeah I am missing both mirrors on mine, I have the 5000s in white as well.

    The paint was missing in parts of the door handle alone. Probably they tried opening it and closing it frequently. Cool let me know if you find the mirrors. I am missing only one.

    Yeah I was surprised too, infact it did not show up in the followed searches. I created a custom search for it and voila one poped up at 40% off as last item.

    When people delete an ebay listing are all traces of the listing removed? I was bidding on a model and today all traces of that listing have been removed. I thought it would show a reason as to why it was removed or something.

    If ebay themselves remove the listing for violation it'll say item number ******* has been removed.

    if a seller ends an item early it will still be there in the completed items.

    Ebay removed it. He didn't get the item removed message because the auction was still on going.

    Damn it. I was watching an item on ebay for 6 days. No bids, I usually open up the window and keep at minute 15. I wait 6 days and I forget that, was watching a movie. Item is sold :/. I hit the buy button for an identical model from another seller for $20 more.

    Quick question for collectors who collect liviried cars (le mans, f1, gt etc). Do you guys actually watch the race? I am a fan of F1, but I dont watch the rest. (Just asking)

    Watch as much as I can - but value quality broadcast as much as the cars and racing. Enjoyment is much improved with the data to hand (sector times, gaps) and how informed the commentators are. IMSA app is free, and excellent. WEC app is good, but costs. In the UK Sky F1 unparalleled in the world for quality. Endurance racing in general much more engaging than F1. And I say that as an F1 fanatic.

    I used a cd to scrape off the decals,because its plastic it doesnt scrap the paint just the decal chips away..it takes more work but the result is better and clean.You gotta hold it at 45deg angle and scrape.

    Dunno, but I ripped one of the 360`s apart a while ago, and compared to a Autoart racing seat the dimensions seem identical.
