Coota0 Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 What was the original price on the 1/48 Low Viz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 VF-1 2NV Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 $125-$135 US not including shipping. Of courser these prices were what the USA sellers were asking. I am pretty sure overseas were significantly lower because as buyers in the USA, there were at least 3 markups in price. 1. USA retailer pays from overseas seller at grey market prices. 2. SHipping here to the states. 3. Markup due to stay in business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechaninac Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 I got mine towards the end of their release for $120 delivered to the East Coast, USA from HK...those were the days. I wish I had gotten a couple more...I'd be able to sell them off today at more than double what I paid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pfunk Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 paid $97 for mine, plus $5 shipping,,second one, paid $110 off Ebay. All I gotta say, is bite the bullit and get one when the 1/48's come out, they seem only to go up in value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocoMacross Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 I stole mine , seriously, I bought a box of four Takara MPC Convoy, each come up to $78.00 each, these are a group of graphic designers that believe they are expert on anime, well my big surprise was when I went to offer my MPC, I saw on his desk the Low Viz, and I ask what was that and he said: "Some Japanese Plane/Robot!!!!!" , I told him if he wanted to trade that plane with my MPC, and he look at me and smile are you sure and I said yeah!, he grab tha mint box and was jumping of joy for the trade, he told that If I was aware of the price increment of the future for an MPC comparte to that gray plane, and I was sure, he tough he got the best part, but now you know who got the best part, and I don't care if in a distant future a MPC Convoy cost more than a Low Viz, I own both so what do I care, Ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godzilla Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Yes the LVs are thing of beauty. Why do you think I have 10 of them? the LV was my 1st 1/48. I bought one on ebay for $90 shipped. That was my 3rd LV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
