Thanks for trying and I am sorry to annoy but I don't see the need for the colours as it just makes things illegible.

LOL - its cool , understand the whole colours thing.........

Its bold now - so hopefully that pleases everyone.

HOLY CRAP!!!!


I wonder if he has time to play with any of those? I wouldn't be sad with any of those.
He could open his own hobby store with that much stuff. Looks like mostly Tamiya, with a few others thrown in. Amazing, simply amazing.

Man, I can't tell you guys how many auctions I've lost to this guy!

What a fantastic collection. Simply amazing.

I would also be interested to see an estimated value.

He has everything 1/10th offroad and more from a whole host of manufacturers....incredible.

I would personally be interested to know and see what kind of RC10/Associated stuff he has, like 10 NIB kits for each model?

I would imagine he has quite an insurance policy on that. Which is actually sort of an interesting question.. how do you really appraise that stuff? There really isn't any "fixed market" value beyond retail price

That is what I keep telling my wife every time she mentions that we need to get my stuff insured.

If you seriously have a lot of money in stuff and can show what yo uhave (which you most certainly do Jay) then you def should. I used to collect records and i had then added to our home owners policy.. it really didn't ad that much more to it esp for if something ever DID happen.

That is a fantastic collection. I could be a collector if I had that much stuff.

Guys,

call me nuts or whatever but I just did a quick eBay research on the stuff Olivier bought and I found out - fasten your seatbelts ladies and gentlemen - that in the last 30 days be bought rc car stuff for around 12.500 Euro (that's around 20.000 US$!). Not to mention the two watches for a total of 6500 Euros (on top of the 12.5k!).

And he is on eBay since the year 2000!

WOOT!

yep... graphic design pays good... at some point. Its good to be the king.
