I wonder what I could get for mine

I have this model along with about 25 other WCPD's. Like most of my West Coast's it has some rash (as do many of my DM and FM to be fair). Maybe these models are so rare or rash is so common that buyers will pay the big bucks for some of them. I just don't get it.

Crazy, I absolutely will not pay more than $200 for a model. If it's more than that, I don't need it

I believe so.................

There is nothing about this model being so special that it could sell in so many colors at record prices........... furthermore being prone to the paint rash problem..... well, it is quite a lot of money for something that may fall apart in a few years.

AMEN to that Gene! I'm with you. And anyone that does pay more, simply has too much money!
