worth of M48 Patton tank

Post by Crazy Kraut » Thu Mar 29, 2018 12:57 pm

would like to sell my 2 M48 Patton tanks but got no price idea.
The one with metal body is perfect shape and complete with one figure and several equipment parts. The other one is complete from plastic and missing some parts and smaller pieces and got no figures.
can you help me out with price ranges for both? Is the metal one a special edition?

best regards from Germany

There were three variants:
10112 - Series 1 - M48 Main Battle Tank w/ crew and snorkel
99806 - Series 2 - M48 Main Battle Tank - Diecast Hull - Walmart only
99806 - Series 3 - M48 Main Battle Tank - Plastic Hull - Online Retailers

Not sure whether the original one with snorkel had a plastic or diecast hull. This research was done by Grunt1 a while back.

As far as prices go they vary based on desire. The diecast one is harder to find so I would say the “Rare” factor is higher. I’ve seen the M48 sell for between $50.00 and $110.00 depending on condition, the diecast one should cost a bit more. Other factors are whether or not it’s complete, does it include the box. Good luck Sven.
