Small Scale Military Headquarters

So I was watching some auctions that started low, I like to see where actual prices are from time to time. I was amazed!

Fw-190D for $150??
P-40's for $150??
Spit for $200??

I get it if the Spit was a rare one like the black bottom one or D-day but its not, non of these are rare or special editions. So are values on the rise? or is this Christmas??

It's Christmas gouging. Prices over the past year have actually been pretty steady.

G'day Jnewboy you are not wrong .In the last six months i have purchased about two and a half thousand dollars worth of 1:18 scale stuff off evilbay some at really good prices some a bit more than i wanted to pay but they were some of the rarer variety .
