World's car value?

Post by Asso_man! »

I have the opportunity to buy this never run World's car (roller with no box, manual or RCPS body), what do you guys think it could be worth?

It is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it, or what the seller is happy to receive!!

That car would have been €100 on a good day 5 years ago, now, I guess I would pay €250 for one like that, maybe even more. The value in fact has increased since Turbo Mirages have become available again (Thanks to Erich!)

That's what I thought more or less Tom, the guy wants 200 Euros for it, and I still think it's a bit too much... :?

I'm not sure. $310 for an unrun Worlds car may not be too bad considering a run Worlds car on ebay goes for $200-275. I can't imagine you get too many opportunities to get a mint Worlds car.

I don't think the price is stupid money, you have to ask yourself how many more chances you will get to buy one in such good condition.
