Are these that rare...?? Seems ridiculously overpriced to me...

So assuming that they are somewhat scarce what would a realistic price for one be..??

I don't care how "rare" this FOV Tiger 1 is.
$200,plus shipping is ridiculous.
Pretty obviously a scam to lure some rookie into a huge mistake.
Not an expert,but that is at least three times overpriced.

New available FOV Tiger Tanks sells between $45-$55 now. If the other Tiger is retired and hard to find, and I am assuming it’s retired and hard to find, shouldn’t it be worth more than $50?

Also, how much would you pay for the same tank in mint condition with all accessories BUT no box?

It is retired, but I don't know if it is worth that much...yet.

But it does seem to be the only one of that release currently for sale so I've nothing prior to compare to.

* Does eBaY even count ? ... I don't think so.

People pay ridiculous pri¢es on there anyway ,.. but can you honestly justify or even compare what a seller or even this seller from Poland for example , sets the standard for collector value ?

I realize it's retired but it's not worth it. You can still find retired FOV at toy shows, model shows, toy soldier shows, flea markets, etc. You're now talking K&C prices..... I wouldn't do it......
