GobotFool Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 What do you think would be a reasonable price for a 1S-focker type 1/48 slightly used, paint chipping on the diecast and slightly flawed be? all around its pretty tight but I am seriously thinking about selling my old focker 1S and getting the new reissues, I just wanted to know what people thought would be a good price.

UN Spacy Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 I guess it depends on how bad the paint chipping on the diecast is. Personally, if I had to sell my 1/48's I'd let them go for $110 shipped. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mslz22 Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 Between $85.00-$100.00, I got mine for $110.00 brand new in the box, although I know the MSRP is higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chowser Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 I agree with UN. That's the price I'm thinking about putting mine up for so I can get a reissue. Mine is in pretty decent shape, I think I've only transformed it to battroid once, now it's it Gerwalk mode with Fast Packs on. I was planning on asking $160 shipped with Fast Packs. But I'm still waiting to see if the reissues are confirmed with added improvements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GobotFool Posted September 28, 2003 Author Share Posted September 28, 2003 (edited) The chipping is pretty bad on the landing gear, I guess I can't ask more than 85 most likely. FYI yes of course it still has its box. Edited September 28, 2003 by GobotFool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GobotFool Posted September 28, 2003 Author Share Posted September 28, 2003 I should have sent the damn thing back when I saw all the flaws it had straight from the factory <_< Still I an sure there must be a customizer out there who would want one.

Pat S Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 If anyone wants to sell a used VF-1s. I'm interested. I don't want a totally trashed one though PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GobotFool Posted September 29, 2003 Author Share Posted September 29, 2003 everything else, (not including the common factory mistakes) is fine on my 1S its just those damn diecast front hatch doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
do not disturb Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 i just picked up a brand new one for $110- which IMO, isn't bad. i was going to wait for th re-issue but couldn't be patient. now, even though i know the first release has its problems, i think in the long run, it'll be worth more. if you think about it, some of the yamato's, i.e original yf-19 goes for way more than the re-issued ones. kind of strange that people know about the "hip" problem and the weird "tab thingy" that seems to break, yet they still pay more for it, just because its the original. i think all the imperfections such as the crooked skull printing and yellow paint that was left off the backpack is what makes the original 1S more "unusual" and worth more overall. and as with all re-issues, it will never be worth more than the original release, especially the first production run......but thats just my opinion.

myk Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 I can't believe that anyone would be willing to part with it... On another note, at the price of over a hundred bucks, I'd wait for the reissued 'Roy, as anything that costs that much needs to be nothing short of perfect. As for future market value? Screw it. We could all die tomorrow so get one that you can enjoy thoroughly... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
