Default For Sale Job Lot Minichamps Focus RS 2010 1/18 Models

Here you go guys, decided to sell these. I have 4 Minichamps 1/18 Focus RS 2010 models, all brand new condition and boxed.
So we have the Focus RS500 in matt black of course.

The frozen white one:

The metallic blue one:

The metallic green one:

£270 delivered the lot. If you don't look at how much it costs me to post them (which isn't cheap) and just divide by the four then that's £67.50 each, and you won't find them much cheaper than that! I don't really want to sell singly, rather just have a clearout.
pm me if you fancy them or email me direct at tjatkin@ntlworld.com .

i think you'd be better selling as individual cars tbh.

I hear what you're saying but what I would say is where are you going to get these ones any cheaper? They're all basically brand new and boxed. I would say check E-BAY and tot up the minimum you'll pay for all 4 including postage and then compare my price. The white one you'll struggle to find for under £100 anywhere.


Anyway, I don't really mind, if no-one wants them at that price they're staying in my loft. I'll probably get them out and put them in my cabinet some time when I have a change of theme.


I don't really want to sell individually, by the time I've posted them all I'll have lost so much money it won't be worth bothering. At least if I post them all together I can save a little bit.

In fact I've just done it for you, the absolute cheapest you can buy those four on E-BAY at the moment is £322.43, and you won't be getting anything different from buying from me. Anyway, I'll leave you to ponder on that.

I agree with Trev mate and I've bought a fair few models off you so I know where your coming from.

All I would say though is not many people would buy all 4 and I think that's the problem. It's only us hardcore collectors. For example if I was buying I would but the white one only therefore weighing out around £75 as I have seen them for that.

This way I'm buying the same model in 4 colours just to say I have them all. That's why I said I would have them in an ideal world but I have plenty of other models to buy before buying in essence the same model 4times.

After all that I would probably be a buyer at £200 and I don't expect you to accept that.

Yes, you're probably right about not many people wanting all 4. I'm a bit weird that way, when I find a type of model I like, I tend to buy all the different liveries, or as many as I can find at the right prices.


If you can find these four literally anywhere in the world for £200 let me know where it is, and I'll buy a massive job lot. And actually I'd be interested where you've seen the white one for £75 too, because I can't find it for that. Anyway, it's no skin off my nose if I keep them, so no worries.


Good luck finding your next models, it's an addictive game.

TBH I think most collectors would have bought the models when they were released, hence already have them.
BUT,
If you are a collector and don't have them its a bargain, if I didn't already have them twice I would have bought them straight away.
Well worth holding onto mate, will only rise in value
