Less than Super Ostrich Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 How much do you think I could sell a partially complete Tanmen Cat's Eye for? The Fuselage and the wings are attached, but much of the detail is not. I'll upload pics tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neptunesurvey Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I forgot how much they went for the first time. Being that its complete, partial built, and difficult to find a couple hundred over want the original cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amirn Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I have no idea. I know it is a tanmen original, but I wouldn't pay $200 or more for a partial built kit. But at the same time, I have no idea what I would pay for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahiachris Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 It's very hard to set the right price since Captain had already express his interest in releasing one in the near future. I think it's better to put it on auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetarB Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 You might get an indication here: http://cgi.ebay.com/Macross-Robotech-Resin...%3A1%7C294%3A50 Worst pic though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFTF1 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Worst pic though! No kidding I thought for a second someone got something confused and put up a picture of a cat litter box... Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neptunesurvey Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 I found the original price....... $140.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viceland Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 $140 for an original Tanmen, or for Mike's cast? I paid $115, S/H included, for Mike`s resurrection in '04, and I sold it 2.5yrs later for $230, S/H extra; maybe this can give you an idea of what yours is worth today.

I didn't know Captain America was gonna do one. I doubt I could get more than $50... I'm thinking of holding on to it. By the way, it is Mike's resurrection (I suppose this is a better "r" word than the other one). It's the last rec... um, I mean resurrection I ever bought... and I don't plan on buying another one.

Viceland Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 He mentioned he might tackle it after the Glaug, nothing is set in stone yet; something else may inspire him along the way and bump it to even later. I think you should aim for the range I mentioned and post in the sales forum, if that doesn't bare fruit, try a BIN or even a low starting bid regular auction on eBay. How does that saying go? A thing is only worth what someone else is prepared to pay for it, or something... just look at the Auctions Of Great Absurdity Thread to see stuff go for what you may perceive to be ridiculous prices, but the buyer's perspective may be that those are normal, or acceptable, prices. And, to the risk of sounding like an a-hole, business is business, not everybody on eBay (or even here) knows that Cap't might, someday, maybe, get around to building a Cat's Eye kit. What if he never does it, and you gone and sold it for $50...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if he never does it, and you gone and sold it for $50...? I frankly don't care if I get an extra $50 for it, particularly if it goes to a friend on the board. HWR MKII was asking for it, and I'm inclined to give it to him... I'm just looking at my pile of "partially built" kits and it is really bugging me. Particularly since I know it will have to be majorly rescribed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viceland Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I understand about the pile. Well, just watching HWR build this proper is worth letting it go low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
