Early Mercedes Grand Prix .....

Here's the model you want but I doubt you can find one. Mikhail Bashmashnikov had it at Allentown in 2022, where we had the big Brooklin NBC collection event. It was not for sale, was exquisite, and was made somewhere in east Europe (Mikhail was cagey about where, but it was either Russia, Belarus, or Ukraine). I think the brand is Car Maniac. Sorry for the poor pic quality.

Found a better picture of the Car Maniac piece.

There's one on ebay, if your want to shell out $2K.

The guy may test the market but he is a dreamer 

this sort of thing is a real soapbox issue for me. Individuals just listing on ebay as opportunists. There is no hope of a sale, I've seen some 1/24s on there for over a year, And its worse on the Australian ebay. They need to bring back listing fees. First 2 free, then a increasing scale after that. These idiots just crowd out the people who want to do legitimate business. OK I'll climb back down now!

There are several sellers that use this tactic. I agree, there should be a listing fee.

That being said, some of the more scarce EMCs and high-end resin from the European makers can go for very high prices. On the other hand, I've been watching MOC prices on the Bay for a while. There are more showing up recently as more collections are listed for a variety of reasons. The listing prices are very high, but completed sales are very few, none at those prices. Some folks watching the listings are led to believe those are the going prices for those models, while no one is actually buying at those prices. Just because a model is listed for $2000 does not mean it's worth that. But if we happen to have a duplicate in our collection, we just might be swayed into thinking it is!

@geoff-jowett  Seller is from Kazakhstan. It seems the model could have been done in Belarus. Definitely not worth more than $200.

Here's the video of the model,

@nickies It's worth well over $200, but not $2000. I saw Mikhail's in person, and it is as good as, if not better than, EMC and B&G models, which can run $500 or more.
