Andy Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Its hard to say, as I think that particular tractor fluctuates in price, a lot more than other Britains. If really excellent along with the box, you wont be far wrong with ?50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerrabbit Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Values are very dificult to put on these things. It it always best to start a little on the high side as you can always negotiate and come down, you can never go up. It may be coming to the time, especially where Britain's stuff is concerned, for someone to collate some average prices made of items and publish a guide. Could be a good idea to open a dedicated topic, call it say, 'Model Prices', to post achieved prices with sub topic for all the brands, Britain's, Siku, UH, Dinky, Corgi etc. We could all also post what we have paid for items as well which would give others a good idea of values even for the new models as prices do vary between dealers/shops/outlets/auction/Ebay. Does anyone agree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volvoman Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 Excellent idea Powerrabbit- I for one would be happy to contribute as would give everyone an idea as to what things are things are worth-a 'Glass's guide' of the farm model world perhaps?!

Mike R Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I would of said 45 to 50 but it all depends who wants it and how much they want to pay for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I agree with Mike and Andy on there worth, although mine cost me less than ?30 so I guess it is all down to supply and demand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volvoman Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 Thanks FP/ Kentman-at the back of my mind that was roughly the figure I had thought was the case - as you and Andy have suggested.As powerrabbit says you can always come down and as you both rightly say its what someone is prepared to pay if they really want one. Thanks for the help guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallclaas Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I bought a gift set of one about 3 years ago with the manure spreader in a straw box paid ?68.00 so the above sounds about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 O.K. So if we create a topic on prices I would suggest that the main title topic should be 'Model Prices' and then sub-topics with manufacturer, 'Britain's. Siku. U.H. Corgi. Dinky and so on. Then we can all enter under the manufacturer, the item, catalogue number or model number, price, date and where purchased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy did have something like this planned before, I'm not too sure how far the idea went......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
