I have some old Tamiya bodies that I have held onto over the years. I don't know how much they are worth, but basically I painted them and stickered them up and then never used them. So basically I did all the hard work and just put them up in display.

I'm wondering if any of you know how much these bodies are worth, assuming I did the paint job/stickering and what not very well.

I have the following in mint condition w/ boxes:


Alfa Romeo 155 V6 Ti Bosch
Loctite Zexel GT-R (R34 Skyline)
Taisan Starcard Porsche 911 GT2 (*I know this one is very rare)
Calsonic Skyline GT-R GR.A (R33)
Castrol Tom's Supra (Painted in a pearly black)
JTCC Castrol Nissan Primera


I also have a HPI PRO 2 that is basically brand new. It's fully aluminum and carbon fiber, and it comes with enough extra parts to build another Pro 2. How much do these things fetch now a days? I'll try to take pictures when I get a hold of a digital camera...

Yes they are painted in the color scheme that they were originally built in, but I don't want to put them on eBay and lose money. I think I would rather sell it on forums at a set price and get what I want, rather than risk eBay.

set an extremely high reserve and see what they get up to on ebay. or you could use a buy it now. there i ssome way on ebay to make them send you an e-mail when a certain thing comes up for sale(in this case your bodies) see what they sell for and set the reserve around there
