His opening $ amount is about $1000 to much, even for FleaBay!, my rough estimate is about $1850 total?
He's REALLY! pushing it calling it the "Holly Grail", the only hard ones in there that are hard to get are the Kenworth "Challenge Mixer" and maybe the ORIGINAL issue Peterbilt.
"I do not believe a finer model truck kit collection exists." is a BOLD! statement too!, he hasn't seen my closet!
I have over 300 kits! (yes all truck and trailers!)

i was at a model show about 5 yrs ago in the u k & the double drive freightliner was there selling for £90 It's kind of funny how different people look at things, I have 4 or 5 of the Freightliner DD's, none of them are of the recent issue, I wouldn't give you a $20 bill for one. Guess the seller of this Flebay auction has never seen any of these trucks before?  |

When you really look at all his kits the kw 925 is rare, but Porky has the torsion bar and Jerry has the decals. The Movin On Porky has the torsion bar and Jerry the decals. The Challenger mixer, AITM has the mixer and KW 's are around. Alaskan and Cali Haulers are on Flea bay cheap. The only one thats really rare is the Astro with the Turbine. Crazy man there. Paul

He has some nice stuff.I've got a lot of ideas now. I did an original Astro w/ Turbine with all the mods to correct it , a Titan Turbine as its mate and the Mack Turbine Cruiseliner too. The resin Turbine makes none of his kits that rare. Paul

I still think he's $25-$50 over on his asking price to start, the KW 925's are VERY common over here on the west coast, I have more than I can count on one hand and probably more than that, including all 4 of them, the original "torsion bar", second issue "walking beam", the "Moving On" (NOTHING! more than decals!) and the "Alaskan Hauler", the only ones he has that I don't are the ORIGINAL T500-500 "California Hauler", KW mixer and the IH "CO 4070A" including the GMC 95 "Turbine"
If his K123 COE has the "walking beam" you'd have to REALLY! want an old box!? for that kind of $$$
I'm watching to see what he really gets?, seems as if he's already had somewhat of a reality check?, probably lots of offers to buy this or that one separately?

Well, he did better by parting it out!?, a quick add up shows he got $3207 + $12.8 shipping each.
