Hey Felix, which was the better deal, the car or the box? :giggle :cheers
Your best deal or trade ever
G
What has been your best diecast purchase ever? Did you ever have an unbelievable trade? Thought it was a good idea to post a thread on this.
My best bargains ever must have been the Kyosho 512 Bburago and 308 QV for 15 Euro per piece. They lost their mirrors but still it was a hell of a deal. :happy
I also once bought a AUTOart Lotus Esprit Type 79 for only 17,50 Euro brand new in box. :giggle
My Exoto Porsche 935 Testcar new for 55,- Euro ain't one to forget either... :danbana
Wonder what you guys have caught! :cheers
Whoops, 550 was 55 :lol

Probably simply buying cars at RRP on release, then watching them explode through the roof.
I got three Biante R32 1992 Bathurst winning GT-R Skylines - eaxch costing less than AUS$200. One went last week on ebay for AUS$700, and others always fetch over AUS$500!!! Each!!!!
The other one was a birthday present - an Ebbro R34 GT-R Nur-spec car, in Millennium Jade Green. RRP was AUS$75, then I see this:

I consider that a deal.

I've had quite a few great deals but the one that sticks out would be 9 UT 911 GT2s (white) from an Australian dealer for about $25 each. :cheers

thanks to this forum i discovered not only did i have one of these but 2 of them. i paid $45.00 each less 40% totalling about $85.00 taxes included canadian funds for both of my ut porsche gt2 evolutions. i have seen them going for outragoues money now. the last one i seen on ebay got over $600.00. and i also traded 2 1999 schumacher ferrari f1 models for a minichamps 1/12 schumacher model which i have seen for over $1000 around canada, the 2 schumachers only cost me $50 for both on the shopping channel. those are my best buys.
Dealer Minichamps SL500 retails for £75+, paid £10 for mine...
1/43 Trofeu Hom.04 Bruno Thiry's 99 Monte Carlo car specially released for the Belgium market. Had only heard about it and wanted it for ages. Got it off ebay in 03 for 35 pounds including postage to Australi (yes it came in one piece :happy)
I was the only bidder (yes there was no pic in the auction) a second car went on a few weeks later which went for 57 pounds........haven't seen one since
