Just wanted to let you know I bought this Fiat, and the red harvester he had for sale as well. So it is going to a good home.

Wonder if someones messing him about, fake bidding or something  , its up to 100 odd already ,with 6 days left as well 

Could be the seller. I've had it done to me before where the seller has 2 accounts and when you put a bid in, he puts a couple pound more in. Happened to me with a stihl longreach headge cutter.

Is the fiat a pre production colour ?

A fas as I know this is not a pre production model, but a rather unusual paint job, that is exactly what attracted me to buy it. If it really was a pre production sample, it would have sold for a far better price I guess. Just a quirky conversion, just like the harvester. :D

Wasn't going to say anything until this was sold. This ended up on ebay as I had two lads who didn't pay for their models out of a batch of ten. The hammer price for this has covers the cost of both their trailers while allowing me to keep a model for my own collection. Will be sticking to kits and truck models though, these proved far more hastle than they're worth. 

eBay seems a very different place these days to say 5 years ago. High value items will be bid up to near their hammer price in the first day of a listing going live. Previously the first 5 days something would sit at 99p, then a bidding frenzy would occur at the very end. Surely as a buyer its simple logic that bidding early will drive the price up more and you'll end up paying a higher price. Not that I'm complaining, just an observation from what I've sold and watched recently.

And you also have to ask yourself why the managers at Wiking haven't thought to themselves 'hmm, those 6930s we used to make sell for a lot, why dont we churn a few thousand more out' 

I hope it sells but you do have to wonder.

When it gets to this kind of price and the buyer has  a score of 6 with 0% feedback you wonder if they are going to pay for the model when the auction ends

 

good luck barry, i may well consider selling my second one if they are doing this well .
