They are, I think, 1/87 scale which is slightly on the small side. I have dozens of these little cars in my own collection. There probably worth £5.00 each in good condition.

But £1500.00? Someone is having their chain pulled if they reckn they can get that much for them.

They are trying it on, I sent a polite email, asking if they were listed correctly, just has a one word answer lol !

He has a few other matchbox etc, all stupid prices!

Annoys me that someone may fall for it though!

Other than the green xj6, sd1 and merc I had (probably still have somewhere) all of those growing up. Nice to see the again!

ha, that's a lot.
I have owned all of those cars, and the transporter, as scruffy boot sale buys when I was a small child. Still have them somewhere probably.
I really should look through my 100s of diecasts - most are pretty rough though.

I don't think it's a rip off.

He does seem to price things ludicrously but something is only worth what a buyer is willing to pay, if someone is happy to pay £1500 for those toys then I'll be filling eBay with overprice tat.
