The hunt for retired references (1 Viewer)

[Guy]

Folks
I finally could lay my hands on BBA015 , after 3 years of searching on the net for this ref at a reasonable price . I finally managed to get a complete set. Found it on the net, the chap who put it there only lives 90km from my place .( so no extra VAT + import taxes + heavy transport cost) I also managed to find BBA009 the pack howitzer set. I had one before but it was sold as a dio to a collector from France. I'll sleep a bit better tonight !!!!!!!

Guy, these were 2 of my first Bulge sets from K&C. They are very nice indeed and the figures that come with them are top notch.

I don't know what BBA 15 goes for now but for a few years after it came out, it was selling on eBay below original retail. Very well done tank and great figures.

It is selling a lot above original retail today($199) especially because it is a stricktly limited edition . I bought it for the equivalent of $275 and believe me this is a bargain.
I saw BBA015's go for $375,$399 and even more on ebay .

Guy, I was more lucky, few days ago I purchased the BBA015 at the old retail price (150 Euro = 200 $) on e-bay. Hoping to receive it quickly and in good shape.
It's a stunning set indeed!

Nice pick up but, you should have brought it up as I have two still boxed!!! As for price I think the high price seems to have slipped as a few on e-bay UK at least have either went for peanuts or, are not getting the price that the seller seems to want.

Look forward to the dio you put the Sherman in

On one occasion I pushed the price up to $290+ $54 for transport + € 50import tax . The US seller refused to let it go. Now I found one at €200 =+/- 230US$ + no shipping costs because the seller lives not so far away. For me it was a good deal
