robbo Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 The problem I have is that I would like an original FTF bronze Valtra as I missed out when they were issued but I don't want to bid for " a pig in a poke" and get a copy \ \ \ \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 just reported it to ebay anyway, his title is misleading alone saying its a limited edition, its a convo nothing else, and hes used a grey limited one to do it, what a plonker I just wrote to him asking what it is, a real ltd ed or a convo. I think he has used the same text on a lot of model he has sold, could be a genuine mistake.....when you sell stuff on ebay you can sell one item, then take a shortcut by selling a "similar item", ebay remembers the catagories you sold the last item and all the text you wrote, he may have sold lots of stuff with the same text under it not realising! or he could be a plonker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 dam i just managed to delete my last post if you read the description it does say its a convo mate, hes used a grey version to get the box, the colours way wrong looking at it, its to brown in finish heres mine out of the box so you can see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 have to say sonny i have not seen a bronze one for sale yet mate, so price is hard to tell right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmtoysDK Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 have to say sonny i have not seen a bronze one for sale yet mate, so price is hard to tell right now Thx for the info mate. Just made an correction on my question. I actually have both versions, bronze and dark metallic grey, bought them at Zwolle, only three where seen for sale there by me and a friend, I bought one, and ,my friend is still sad he didnt. There was 1 for sale at 200 euros, and the 2 other for 110 euros each. I guess it was a lucky buy for me as I didnt know how rare it was till I had a closer look at the box when I came home.

Tractorman810 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 they only did 100 of them for us from memory, so to a siku collector i guess they are worth what ever you asked for them, mines certainly not for sale at present anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FordTractorCrazy Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 i know a few have sold for 250 euro's.. at that kind of money for a model costing only 80 odd quid to acquire.. it's not entirely surprising that some have chosen to sell it.

ihatepoundland Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 £137 last time, although no sign of it in the feedback. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SIKU-FENDT-VALTRA-T161-LIMITED-EDITION-BRONZE_W0QQitemZ110482234146QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_ToysGames_DiecastVehicles_DiecastVehicles_JN?hash=item19b9411b22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With only a 100 made I dont think its that surpricing that it got a higher value so fast. Just look at the Siku Black Beauty Fendt 936, a lot more were made of that, and it still goes for silly money, there was a a few at Traktorado, all priced at 350 euros, so it could easily be that the bronze Valtra hasnt reached its peak price yet.

Deere-est Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Use to be a britains cattle lorry? Scratch built chassis and mud guards? custom wheels? more like a blob of paint in the middle!! Aldi special with a britains flat bed body chucked on more like it and as for the buy it now price ......I dont think so http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BRITAINS-UH-SIKU-massey-ferguson-livry-lorry-conversion_W0QQitemZ220546321018QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_ToysGames_DiecastVehicles_DiecastVehicles_JN?hash=item335995ca7a It isn't worth half the buy it now price, it isn't as if it has add details added. there isn't even a rear bumper or lights. . . It looks nice but it's an easy one to do, parts and time. . . . £50 tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
