Sometimes I think that a listing that runs for only 24 hours is way too short especially ending on a weekend...but I might be wrong too!

How about the two that sold in England mentioned by Mitch. One was at £600 which is roughly $900 over here. {eek3}

With the high taxes in the UK I doubt they noticed the increased price ^&grin

That's not much but, we don't know what it was bought for in the first place so, the profit could be more. Not sure the listing time helped maybe some of those who would have paid more were not on that day, so, agree with the comments that a longer listing may have been advisable.
I think more will come up or be sold privately for more I know a few who have just found out they were released and are really peeved they missed out and are now high on their wants lists'
I think, though hindsight is a wonderful thing that K&C could easily have made this a 250 edition and sold the lot

One thing to add here on this dear topic for some. If the item sold for double retail people would be screaming bloody murder. Since it sold for a little over retail, people........still complain {sm2}

Cluck! Cluck!
Of course collectors are interested in the listing and sale. It hits on many points of discussion including limited runs, pricing, reselling, the state of the market. How could you expect no reaction or comments.

Why are you making a fuss. People are always interested in what items sell for, especially rare ones that wind up on eBay.

Ok Guys, No problem. I actually wound up getting 2 of them as I ordered mine from Treefrog and the other was pre ordered automatically for me from another dealer as they assumed I wanted one so I wound up getting 2 in one week which
I was not expecting, nor wanting. Offered the other "Spare" on E-Bay at a fair starting bid taking into consideration seller fees and PayPal fees the buyer/collector got one at a fair price IMO.

Re: BBG049(W) Special "SnowStug" - question for Panzer Ace
Panzer Ace...
I received my Snow Stug today and I was wondering the following about your Snow Stug:
Bottom side of my Stug displays production year as 2011?...is this what yours says?
The K&C box - small white sticker shows BBG049?...is this what yours shows or possibly BBG049W?
I very much like the winterized version. However it appears K&C took old unsold Stug stock and winterized them. Maybe not but 2011 date on bottom of tank is shown.
Comments?
Appreciate your input...Spud

That is exactly what K&C did and they made it clear they were doing it when it went on sale. They were clearing out their unsold BBG049 by winterizing the 149 that were left, increasing the price by $10. It was discussed in threads on this forum.

Of this release as it was kept quiet and popped up out of nowhere. :wink2:
