Default Minichamps 1:43 Amazon 2 Door in Silver - £25 posted

I've decided to thin out my 1:43 collection a bit. These are NLA and getting quite expensive on eBay.







The perspex case has a few scuffs but the model itself is perfect.

£25 posted to anywhere in the UK. I take cash on collection, paypal gift (will pay the fees if needed) and cheques.

It doesn't, no. Should have mentioned that.

So in effect, you're saying the cardboard sleeve is more important than the model.

This forum makes less and less sense the more I'm on it. It's a cardboard sleeve.
I take it's therefore 'worthless'?

IMHO £25 is a very good price for one of these, even without the sleeve, given the prices they often seem to fetch on ebay.

I agree with you on this. Everytime I need to buy something it acquires incredible rarity value.Conversely when like yourself I have something to sell there are 20 questions generally ending with interest only if its free and I pay the postage.

Sod it, this will be on eBay in the next couple of days.

Getting properly sick of the whinging skinflints on here (present company excepted) who undo the work of the decent Amazon VOC members. It's put me off selling things on here before.

And no, before you accuse me of going on an ego trip, I'm neither useful nor wadded.
