They want what for it?

[The Wooksta!]

Okay, it's not kits, but books and I know that for certain subjects, they can go for ridiculous sums. 

I'm currently reading up a fair bit on the Third Reich.  One guy I'm interested in is the head of the foreign intelligence section of the SD, Walter Schellenberg.  One book on him - and I can only find the one copy on Amazon, Abe Books or Ebay - is £899.

And no, I do not want a kindle version.  That way is one of the tiptoes towards tyranny.

Have you tried with bookfinder?
https://www.bookfinder.com/search/?ac=sl&st=sl&ref=bf_s2_a2_t1_4&qi=3jryXj1ejQw6VVQSxz1iFv9mtEk_1492543943_1:8:2&bq=author%3Dreinhard%2520r%2E%2520doerries%26title%3Dhitler%2527s%2520last%2520chief%2520of%2520foreign%2520intelligence%2520allied%2520interrogations%2520of%2520walter%2520schellenberg%2520studies%2520in%2520intelligence

Lots of "normal" priced ones.

BTW, have you read his autobiography?

[The Wooksta!]

I've got it, but haven't read it yet.  However, by all accounts, it was well and truly sanitised.

The link is for another book on Schellenberg by the same author and I can get that for little more than 30 notes post free.  The one I want, the one in the Amazon link, is 300 notes on bookfinder.  Bit better than £900, but still, a shade too rich.

Sorry, I hadn't checked the title accuratey enough.
From Canada a sligthly better offer:CDN$ 323.56

I've noticed that the price of 1/72 Catalina keeps climbing. You used to be able to pick one up for £10-15 secondhand, but now it's more like £20-25.

How about THIS ONE.
It's not a mistake.  It's greed.  This kit vanished from the market when the moulds were damaged in China.  It's a nice kit but not that nice.
Unfortunately for sharks like this they have repaired the moulds and the kits will be back later this year.

I notice it says:
"This listing was ended by the seller because there was an error in the listing"

Maybe the 'error' was his in thinking people would pay that sort of amount? 

[zenrat]

His error was leaving it too late.  They are back being listed on Model Roundup at $US 39:90.

Darn, I hate when that happens... *snicker* 

[zenrat]

Me too.  I'm going to start listing schadenfreude as one of my hobbies on my resume.

Amazing.

$AU 3360.  About normal for a "limited edition" Hasegawa kit.

And the only thing limited about it will be the decals and box art

Somebody tell them there's a new mould out and this isn't it.

[Old Wombat]

Ah, yes, but that one's now a "coll-eck-tors' item", Fred.

[zenrat]

No no no, it's obsolete and should be dirt cheap.  Especially in that boxing.

Can you tell i'm looking for one for parts?
