I was watching an auction on ebay last night and about fell out of my seat when it was over.

Corgi 1/32
AA34902 Bf-108G, "Gotz", Black Double Chevron. Sold for $192.00. Perry's price: $79.95.
P-51D BBD. Sold for $144.00. Perry's price: $84.95.
P-51D Green Old Crow. Sold for $127.00 Perry's price: $74.95.

Let's do the math. $463.00 would buy you all 3 from the auction. Perry's price $239.85.
And they did not offer combined shipping. I'm just hope that these buyers are around when I try to sell some of my stuff.

Ebay is a VERY fickle thing... Sometimes an item will sell for nothing, and the next day, it goes for tons... No explaination, but maybe just the excitement of the "win"...

It's really crazy. I was watching these three items as well. Not to buy, I have all three, just to see what they'd go for. For me, I'm trying to find a bargin. Mostly I stop before I exceed known retail prices.

I see the person who won the 109 was new. Thing is, it takes more than one person to bid an item up like that. Nuts!

It is often a case of more money than common sense, but hey, it is great for the seller.

Poor guys, they probably have no idea the Model Hangar exsist.

Proof positive of idiots in the world. Which is why I always will at least google something I want to see if it can be found elsewhere for less money. Especially with books. I have found some on ebay that seem to be good prices but when I check Amazon, I can sometimes find them cheaper and do not have to wait for the auction to be over.

As far as die cast, I will always check several places such as TFM, Aikens, Burbank HOH, Aim Higher Jets, and Pete's to name a few.

But truth be told, I have found the best deals here in the classifieds section.

For once I agree with everyone's comments. I never buy untill I've done some research. I usually save plenty by doing that. On the other hand, I know how it is to get caught up in the bidding war and excitement.

I just noticed that the same seller has just listed P-51D "Stinger". Let's see if that was a fluke last night. If that thing sells fo over $100 we may want to contact the winner and recommend this site. Then again, he may get suicidal if he realizes how much he overpayed. Just a thought.
