deKleijn Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Mine is a deutz reike-modell made in West Germany. Ill try find some photos, unsure on price but got it from my grandfather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 A very good question Jan and could mean different things to different people 1) Sentimental value as your Deutz above which you cannot put a price on 2) Price paid which could be worth less now 3) Market value which is like dealing in the stock market....values can go up but also down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deKleijn Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 You can answer the question how ever you fancy, anything with a good story. And if anyone has an extremely rare model it would be interesting to know about it, were you found it, market value etc. Theres allot of sites around so over looking an extremely rare model is possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I thought your question was fairly obvious to what you mean't mate. Mine could be my Britains FTF Gold Ford 6600. One of thirty and one of only three in a display case as originally supplied. I won it in a competition here on FTF as Forum Contributor of the Year One fetched over £700 on eBay and that was a Britains issue box. Even if it was only worth half that it would still be my most valuable. It's priceless to me either way though, the joy/value for me is owning the model(s), not the selling of them. Second is probably my Britains Livestock Transporter gift set with animals and pens. Got that one for a bargain via Niels in Holland to replace a long dispersed set I had as a kid, a holy grail that one was so to have found that truly was amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuirHillyBilly Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Probably my DBP Counties, my yellow 1474 is pretty valuable about £350 I think, my most treasured is my scratch built Muir Hill, been offered over £400 for it on more than one occassion but won't be selling as I'm yet to see a better one.

The Tractor Twitcher Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 For me it's two old Britains models that I don't actually own but exist within my collection purely for sentimental value. My Dad's Britains Fordson Super Major and Ford 5000. They were originally my Dad's own toys from when he was child and he certainly made the most of them. They ended up in a very play worn and battered state but thankfully he still kept them. Last year my Dad was forced to retire at the age of 60 through disability from an almost life long career driving tractors and all things earthmovers and plant machinery. As a surprise Christmas present to cheer him up I passed the tractors onto collector and customiser Malcolm Booth from Lincoln when I attended the Newark Tractor and Heritage Show last November so they could be restored. Right on schedule this is how they looked in time for Christmas, Malcolm also provided a three furrow plough with them which was a complete surprise to us both. My Dad was absolutely over the moon with them and I cannot thank Malcolm enough for the work he put into these two models. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deKleijn Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 (edited) Personally its not about the money, as i mentioned before if i do come accross something rare at a bargain then it would be nice to know.. And nice nick that is quiet a nice model you have there especially when you can relate it to the real thing Edited October 11, 2012 by deKleijn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justy 46 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 These 2 puppys which go like stink & I guess that adds more value & the my MF 135 Industrial. In terms of recent model realises ,I think the Marge Series 1 Ford 7610. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPN Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 (edited) Britains Hesston 580 bought out of the USA on ebay many years ago. Edited October 11, 2012 by SPN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuirHillyBilly Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 That must be a great feeling to know other people value your work so highly, Lee. Fair play to you. It is mate, mind you it took long enough to build the yellow beast!! And I guess it is probably influenced by the fact that 1:32 scale Muir Hills are so rare.
