I guess this guy really wanted one, they go for 60-70 bucks on most etailers... Wonder what they were thinking...

Can't figure this one out. It's not like this plane isn't available elsewhere.

That's just crazy, do these people do any research before they start bidding?!!?! Guess some people just have more money than sense as my dad use to say.

To the newcomers here i guess this seems surprising. But we veterans have seen this for years. It doesn't even phase me anymore.

New 1/18 items often fetch well over $100 in the first weeks after they come out. Always have, probably always will. The pak and halftracks were no different.

It's interesting because at least one seller had a 'buy it now' on the hellcats for a while of around $60....so either he sold out, or started putting them up for auction to the highest bidder without a buy it now. Seems that many buyers don't do any looking around before purchasing. All you need do is type in '1/18 Hellcat' in yahoo search and you'll find at least a couple of vendors selling for $55.

Your right Aferg I should be use to this having been at it since 2000, but I just can't quite get over the ridiculous waste of money. Maybe you can us tell what numbing cream you use.

Ditto.
