I'm going to try only buying 1/43 GT3's roadcars (mk1,mk2,997)

It's hard, especially after seeing those pictures of your 3 ferrari's

You guys don't happen to know where I could find the #430 986990
and the silver '99 ( can't find the number anymore )

Why did u buy the exact same model twice? U bought 2x 1999 GT3 Sauberblue, and 2x 1998 GT3 supercup VIP car (Dealer Edition) , 2x 1999 GT3 red (Dealer Edition).. These models r the same. Even their color is the same... :roll:

even bought the sauberblue 3 times it's because those are the last ones avaliable, will be worth about €100
I bought them for 30 each so 8) ,same with the red version and supercup

also bought the blue RS twice because there are 2 version's , one has the correct striping = rivierablue, the other one is much darker
but the rivierablue is very hard to find, I got the last one at belgian porsche importer and found another one on ebay, seller luckily didn't know about the colors

[Mr.Vercetti]

So u intend to sell them... Hehehee!

no, i'm missing one of the 1999GT3 won't be easy to get hold of that one
it's a silver one ,number 430 068000
was the first color they released that model in, don't know why but seems to be very special those first colors if ever one appears on ebay, it won't go less then €200
so each € i can make profit on selling the rare models i got 2/3 times comes in handy

[gis]

lol personally i dont see a point in buying that many of the same model.........very nice,but i dont see the point.but whatever floats your boat i suppose

[Cigarette1]

ops:
If you know you will be able to sell that model for a lot more ? Wouldn't it be stupid not to pay it ? It's so easy money...

A friend of mine who got me into this 1/43, recently bought 7 GT3 models for €190...now they go for €200-€250 a model 8)

[gis]

yeah i see your point exactly,lol and it is a great idea,just meant i personally wouldnt buy models to intend to sell,id liek to get a model to keep.

[TT]

The idea is actually clever, but the second I buy a new model, even if I already have an identical one in another color, I know for sure I will NEVER sell it

it's about collecting, not doing business
