Jaysus! Was just gonna say that you'd have to add on a bit so it wouldn't be €173 in the end, but I hadn't realised just how much. That's scandallous, as bad as buying stuff down here from outside the islands. Better checking with @WRENNEIRE / Marks Models / Brian Collins / RB Models! Nearly sure that "Irish Bloke 77" had some for sale at €190 each on Adverts.ie recently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a 'Buy It Now' for £27:89. He's down to the last few and has nudged the price up to £127:89, possibly in the hope that the last few are snapped up by people who might not notice the 1..? A year later, this item is at £126:95 - this being 29% down from the £179:95 that it spent the last six months at. According to the 'Number Sold', not one has been sold since it was £27:89*. 872 are 'watching it', probably for the same reason as I am... * I didn't buy one, even at £27:89, because I thought twelve quid would be about right and I got a very similar one for that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Dangerous Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 (edited) 4 hours ago, Keitheg6 said: Is this a bit fishy? seems to be fresh stock coming from china? These popped up the other day. The unusual thing is the price. They should be a lot cheaper if previous modus operandi is followed. Back in 2020, a shop up in Spain called Imperio del Hobby had some Cravens and Mk2D's for sale. They were relatively cheap, so I wrote to the shop. The owner, think his name is José, is a one-man band ala @WRENNEIRE or Chris Dyer. He told me that he had bought them from a shop closing down, like good old Chris used to do. On arrival, the boxes were sun-bleached and they had old price tags on them, so his story seemed legitimate. @burnthebox also bought some, but he has now sold some of his stock on via eBay, and is no longer active on the forum. Through the jigs and the reels, @WRENNEIRE informed us here on the forum that Josè had not bought these from a shop that was closing, as this was impossible. Through inside channels, he had ascertained that they were, in fact, over-produced with the original Cravens. For example, Paddy commissions 504 units, the factory produce 550 - on Paddy's Euro - and they then store the extra units for several years. Prior to storage, they put on Euro price tags, age the boxes, then contact shops like Imperio del Hobby, tell them that they're illegal over-produced units that have been stored for X years, and ask if the shops are interested. Paddy has / had a court case against Jose of Imperio, but I don't know how that went. It wasn't through the Spanish legal system, that much is certain, so was presumably through the Irish courts. The bottom line, if I recall correctly, is that the over-produced units are the property of Murphy Models, irrespective of who is claiming to have the right to sell them.
