they're in for a pleasant surprise!

Hi Geoff, you wouldn't have a seller name and geographic country for this seller?  If they are not registered with e-bay's Global Shipping Program, people outside of that postal area will not be able to find them on e-bay.  I have just searched many times and keep getting '0 results' !

Its DMs rare 59 white Thunderbird Charles. Seller appears unaware of its market value

I see it's up to $452 dollars........so far.😲

@geoff-jowett Thanks, now I see them!  "74 viewed in the last 24 hours " up to 79 in the three minutes I was looking.  As you say, they'll be pleasantly surprised.

I bought the white 59 Thunderbird when it was first introduced by DM. Never would I have thought that it would attract this kind of price. Good thing for me as I have never looked at my collection as an investment which is why I still have it.

nice model, but way out of my price level.

@bob-jackman same here Bob. I just enjoy them.😊

yeh well?, just happened to have another look as the auction was ending. US $793.00 Approximately AU $1,209.03. Extraordinary! I love my model cars and love the idea of having the odd rare model amongst the collection. But to me a lot of the appreciation in adding the rare one is getting it for at, or below, what I believe is fair market price. Paying what I would consider is in excess of fair market price would reduce my enjoyment of 'capturing' a rare piece.

@geoff-jowett  I agree Geoff. I don't need any that bad, lol.😲💯
