I sold one locally up here for almost double that a couple years ago (without box). I see some for sale now w/box for more than double. Personally I agree, too much for me. But they are popular. I have one on my shelves waiting to be picked apart.. Might be a stupid thing to do 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justy 46 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I have been watching them for a while both boxed or no box. They seem to be the one implement from the 80s era off Britains that fetch quiet alot. Can never bring myself to fork out the price they are fetching ...but would like one to add to the collection in time to come. Another would be the log trailer and Towse digger. They seem to go pretty high also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyB Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I freely admit to benefitting from it, but the prices for unboxed old Britains and ERTL stuff on Ebay at the moment are bonkers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad time Joe, as the Kane Grain, Silage and Classic Silage are now sold out at Tomy. Especially as Britains seem to be the main donors for conversions, they will only get fewer me thinks!

I reckon I'll give it a go at the weekend, they won't attach to Wiking hitches anyway, so I'm thinking of getting 2 Krampe's instead. I sold an odd lot of unboxed (and quite recent) implements last year and got £40 ish for them, couldn't believe it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought even the new red release was at a bonkers price as well (at least around here). Sold in shops at £90-100. Meanwhile, I tried selling a yellow I had two of, could barely offload it. I guess the right color brings the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justy 46 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I won an unboxed one on EBay a few years ago for around €60 as far as I can remember. Motor still works in it and is in spotless nick considering it has no box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still makes you wonder are they puffing the bidding.. even if the seller is, you would have a job proving it, since ebay stopped you seeing bidders full names on the bid list. you could normally spot it back then , from certain sellers and just ignore them, but eBay makes no cash from it then . plus ,at the end of the day no one is forcing the buyer to pay that much, its their choice ,and clearly someone feels its worth it . at the end of the day its an auction site, not a fixed price site.i sold 2 identical items a few years back ,first went for 150 odd quid, the next 30, thats the luck of an auction. pretty sure if it was any of us selling we would not complain about it . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohh ..i would not be complaining . UH could rerun them again in a heartbeat...anything is possible these days with all the reruns.

But I guess they would be for sale at twice the price as the last run, just like the red Valmet Mezzo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
