Was this a good buy? I'm just about to add my 2nd Brooklin model to my collection. I found a mint with box and papers BRK43X 1948 Packard Station Sedan on eBay for $67.73 US with shipping from the UK. This is the 400 piece dark green club car. Seems like the regular issues don't sell for that much. I don't know if I did well or overpaid as I couldn't find any comparable sales and I don't know a whole lot about Brooklins. Well, it is a car I love so I guess it doesn't matter in the end.

No such thing as over paying if you like it & want it. I 'd say it was a perfect buy !

I paid a bit more for mine. Yours is a good price. but as already stated,
If you are happy with it, then it's a bargain.

I once paid more for the more common maroon one, since sold about break even.
I replaced it with the better detailed Matrix.

Do yourself a favor and grab a recently released Brooklin...they are a bit pricier.....(pics) than the older models, but they are much nicer with finer detail.
Do you have any other white metal models from other crafters?

If I'd known the green was coming, I wouldn't have bought the blue.

They really are jewel like now with all the details. Very pricey, to me anyway.
