Sold one for $20 last year on ebay. Pretty sure this has been re-released,
saw one in Hobby Lobby for around $40 - a year after I sold mine for half
that of course.

Sold one for $25 last year. I think this one may have been re-released as
well.

$20-25 seems to be average, but I've seen them go much cheaper on ebay. Of
course, I've seen them go, inexplicably, for much higher on ebay too.

If you are in the States, I'd try haunting the local Big Lots or
whatever they're called by you. A couple of years ago, I saw all of
these for sale at one for about $2.50 each.

Ummm, I think he's *selling* them, not shopping for them.

Okay, as I said, if you look around, they can be had for cheap. Works
either way. That Big Lots even had a could of the old Ertl Boeing 707-
based models, the tanker and the electronics versions. Sorry, I don't
remember the C-#s. They were going for cheap as well.

I picked that up more as "If you're thinking of making a mint selling
these on eBay, be advised that someone unloaded a whole s**tload of
them on the market and you probably won't get very much for them"...

(been there, done that too)

Well, then I'd better stash them a little longer.
Or I might even build them, just for the fun of it :-)
