Andreas, that seller has some nice planes.
Wow. I am amazed. Maybe I should have sold my planes on ebay. I sold my DH2s for $10 each. Of course, mine were out of the box so that probably does not satisfy a collector. ;)
Ebay is not a reliable source to price. I have seen DH4 with a buy it now for 15 sit for a long time. It all comes down to who is looking, when they are looking, and how much they want to pay.
Ebay is really such a strange place and the prices apart from auction to auction.
I got a
- Pfalz DIII Klein
- Albatros DII Boelcke
- Aviatik D1 Linke-Crawford
-RAF SE5 Boudin
today each for under 15,00 Euro :)
I think one of the main aspect is if the seller offers international shipping.
I do look regularly at Ebay and prices seem to vary enormously from very reasonable to absolutely incredible. UK Ebay does always seem to have some interesting aircraft available so is worth a look. As others have said what things sell for does seem to be dependant on who is looking and a fair degree of luck. For example most recently there has been the duel Albatross/Spad XIII Baumer/Luke. Currently on £21 which seems very reasonable.
I do need, no wait that's wrong. I do want a few models to complete my collection. So my strategy is to bide my time and bid for any that I want that seem reasonable. I also do try my hand at modelling those that are way too expensive. I have just done a Red Eagle Miniatures Fokker EIII in Immelman colours. Not that I'm a fantastic painter or modelmaker but it certainly would do the job on the battlefield. Perhaps there is an opportunity for someone to make a living out of making rare models! I do find putting the struts etc into the Red Eagle Miniatures biplanes very tricky but then I'm not the most dextrous. My SE5a and Fokker DVIIs attempts have had various level of success. But of course the Eindekkers are much simpler to make and the paint job for Immelmann for exampe isn't that taxing.
Felix, everytime I say I have enough. I buy a few more. The air service just keeps growing. But hey, its fun!
Sometimes it would be rude not to............

Is that my Heidemann? :p :p :p
Good evening,
Just compared to the rating of some Ebay W.O.G models or other, is that someone has already used WorthPoint ? :

Here is a buy it now for a Snipe, Fokker DRI and a Fokker DVII
https://www.ebay.com/itm/3-Wings-of-...UAAOSwNeJfHzhi
OK, it sold already....who got it?
was there someone on here looking for a spad vii guynemer? one going on ebayuk at the moment for a good price
I am looking for a spad vii guynemer. Do you have a link. Either it sold, or I am not searching good.
Ok, he ships only to UK only. Anyone in the UK want to help me out?
PM me if you win it Dan I'll push my address to you now.
also let me know if he/she won't take yer money. we'll sort that out as well (unless it gets really stupid)
I've got a spare, if none of this works out.
So did I, Rumplers ten a penny at the moment.
I was just stunned to get a Fokker D.VII at 1/4 the price of all the other ebay.uk sales recently.
Thanks guys! Hope I can get one!!!
Flash and Camel Crew. The seller will only ship to the bidding address. Hence, one of you would have to bid for me. Then I would have to pay you for the bid, shipping to UK address, and shipping to me. If it doesn't go too expensive I can make the work. Just have to skip pizza take out for a little while. Would that work out. If not, I understand.
Then
Happy to have a go for you Dan but you'd have to give me a limit - currently $15.71 to get to me, probably $10 more to get from me to you so $26 with a day & a third to run yet... Failing all else it sounds like Tim has your back. Let me know what you wanna do. :)
Me too, what a bargain, almost harkens back to the good old days. Mind you the most I paid for 'Fatty's' plane was £5.79 (EvilBay 2010); cheapest £4.00 at SELWG a few years ago. You must be close to that too with your job lot purchases. Those were the days (sigh) :minis: ;)
let us know Dan. Don't want to finish up with Dromers bidding against each other :confused:
I have asked flash to bid on it for me. I agree, lets not bid against each other.
Not at all Phil. These were not re-releases but Nexus originals. In 2010 Ares wasn't in the picture, the most we paid for a plane was a tenner and people really struggled to shift the product so anything between £5 & £10 was acceptable then.
The £4 model was bought from a trader selling his small collection back into the gaming fraternity at £4 per model - me and my wingman Ajay accepted with open arms, splitting the haul between us. As Fok D.VII's were banging about Evil Bay for £70 at the time it was the best day at SELWG ever !
no. im talking about the dip in the going prices for wow minis when ares releases reprints of them. i saw it with nexus d7s, alb IIIs, and now se5as, pfalzs, and rumplers have dipped in price since ares released reprints. hell, i remember schafer, and udet d7s dropping back down to the $20-40 range for awhile when ares d7s came out. its simple supply and demand economics. something unavailable becomes readily available and the price for it drops. i can remember a bunch of se5as and pfalzs coming on the market for somewhat cheaper then usual as soon as their reprinting had been announce. its a known thing.
Oh, I see, you're talking about Tim's purchase, not mine to which none of that applied - Ares wasn't in the picture for the first & hadn't released the D.VII for the second so the WoW Fokker was the hot ticket item at the time.
I picked up 4 WW2 types too. Still have the Pacific types. Just realised that was 5 years ago !

Hope you get your plane Dan, for somewhere around reasonable and just below Ouch. If any man can, Flash can. Luck to the pair of you. :thumbsup:
It doesn't apply to my purchase either - the last 11 D.VIIs sold on ebay.co.uk all went for £55 or more.
The price dip phenomenon IS true, it happens with every re-release, but we are well past this time now with D.VIIs - the supply has all but dried up.
The reason this one was so cheap was the listing; the vendor listed it as "WoW", not "Wings" of either War or Glory, so it didn't show up in anyone's searches!
There were only 2 bidders :)
Sorry Dan, we were outbid. :(
Step up to the UK Quartermaster ! ;)
Thanks for you help Flash!!! :thumbsup: Tough luck, but that is how it goes with Ebay. I appreciate you assistance in this. Thanks!!!!!
