I dont know if this is the same seller or not but someone is defiantly trying to get more than its worth out of this kit

It's exactly the same photo, so maybe so. That's an even MORE ridiculous price for a Skytrain decal sheet!  :o

If they over-charge like that how do the LHSs stay in business over there?

Kit mate thats easy ,,alot of modellers here dont have the ability to buy from the net and since you aint got a lot of choice we are stuck with the LHS ,,i haven't brought anything in the form of a model from a LHS here for ages now ..the only things i get from there are paint ,glue and the normal things .
I have never never let a battle for an auction of mine go nuts and let them spend more than what it was worth brand new  :rolleyes: ;)

Over kill is often very understated .

Agreed.  Did you see what they want for the Redstone?

I did, but that's one I really have never seen before, so I thought it might be sorta justified. I've seen the Talos loads of times though....

And the box isn't even mint!  Look at that big gouged off bit on its cover!  Best of luck auctioning off that bit of damaged goods nostalgia!

I saw another Revell Sky Train DC-10 on ebay with a start value of £80 this time, probably the same person that was trying for £90.
