hof00 Posted October 12, 2022 #1 Posted October 12, 2022 Hi All, Could anyone give me an idea of a Memoli 1/90 Victory? The kit is unstartled and, everything sealed. I am thinking that it's time to sell this. Cheers....HOF.

mtdoramike Posted October 13, 2022 #2 Posted October 13, 2022 Thye Mamoli 1/90 scale Victory retails new for around $800.00. The rulke of thumb is usually 50% of retail on resale of kits. But it really comes down to what you want and what someone is willing to pay for it. If it's an out of production kit and someone just has to have it, the sky is the limit. I have seen this kit go for $250.00-$300.00 on Ebay. I know this is probably not the news you wanted to hear. hof00 and mtaylor 2
Gregory Posted October 13, 2022 #3 Posted October 13, 2022 (edited) I don't see where Dusek has released a new version of the 1:90 Victory. The kits out there will be the original Mamoli kit which have been out of production for several years. I'm seeing them on eBay for $449 and up..

I have seen a couple on E-Bay for over USD 700.00 I'll give it a go on the New Zealand "Trade Me" site first and see how I get on.

Roger Pellett Posted October 13, 2022 #5 Posted October 13, 2022 The real question that you need to answer is “what is the market value where I live?” If people are quoting USA EBay prices, they are based on freight charges to destinations within the USA. Overseas shipping charges are much higher. If there is an active market for your kit within New Zealand these EBay prices might be realistic but if you have to ship it overseas you might have to discount it to account for higher shipping costs.
