You must be shopping on the economy side of the lot. 

Or this one:

Enough of the low rent district time to move on to the high rent lots:

To pricy, lets move over to the bargain lot: 

This one is priced to move today and today only:

Package deal priced to move now: 

Worried the last deal might have a hidden problem how about these:

Here are a couple of deals buy both: 

"We don't sell many at these prices. But, then again, we only need to sell one!"

John, those Exotos & CMCs could conceivably command high prices; they have sold for hundreds & thousands (as you know). That makes sense.

This seller (who has every right to list "ridiculously") has a "$120 model" (at best) for $2,500.00     Again, as a seller, he can ask any price but apparently, he's getting it. Unless his 100% positive feedback score and auction numbers are bogus, he's finding customers, even if it's at 1%, he's closing deals on ludicrous pricing.  This seller has been around for a while now.

More power to him, right?  Perhaps I should try it, right?   "There's a sucker born every minute!"  Right? 😏 🙄 🤔 🤨

"We don't sell many at these prices. But, then again, we only need to sell one!"

John, that's exactly right.

So I have to wonder what somebody would pay for a true 'one of a kind' like this?

My custom made 1965 Sebring winner - As far as I know it is the only one that exists in 1:18 scale

Frank, that's gorgeous.  I must confess, however, I know little about the actual car nor of the history behind it. But you raise a valid point: How much are a one-of-a-kind models worth? Of course, the generic answer is, "It's worth what anyone is willing to pay."   

Traditionally, not everyone will value "customs"  as much as something that actually existed (historically accurate ).

Along with many others on this Forum, I too have dozens of one-of-a-kind (hand fabricated) models along with countless others that were improved with features/detail. With luck, some might end up in museums; without luck....seagulls will crap on them at landfills. 😔 😔 

@chris This car is an accurate (or as close to accurate as I could get) model of the actual car that won the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1965. It was Chaparral's first victory in international competition. I had to take an Exoto down to bare metal

and then add fender flares front and rear, add a second set of lights, modify the rear and and do a few other things before repainting it and adding the livery. No Chaparral collection is really complete without this landmark race car. I guess the real question might be to ponder how many collectors are left that even care about Chaparral race cars.
