[dpbird90]

As we all know UT models are quite rare, so share the love and post up some good bargains you find on eBay. I found a nice 993 GT2:

There was a 993 GT1 which I lost out on in the last second, was outbid by 50p, grr! Only went for £13 as well!

Yeah, some UT models are getting expensive so might be worth a punt. I paid £15 for mine from an Autojumble thing, seen similar ones hitting 5 times that on eBay


And by the way, that Porsche GT2 I originally posted went for £60; couldn't believe it! A dark metallic grey McLaren F1 I was bidding on went for £60 as well, but that's more sensible due to the rarity of them, especially in that colour. I've got the highest bid on a silver one that's ending in about half an hour as well, only £16 so far

Are these actually worth something? I have the 993 GT2 sat here on my desk (which I'm trying to clear to move abroad) is it worth ebaying? No box mind.

Hmm no box is a bit of a downside. Put it this way, that GT2 I was looking at went for over £30, and another McLaren I was bidding on ended up being nearly £100. McLaren's are the rarest ones of all, which is why they command such a high price. I've shelled out about £120 in McLaren's in the last 5 years, at the minute just one model out of 4 is worth that, and the others not far behind. I don't intend to sell, but if I ever get so desperate for money I'd like to think they'll be worth a substantial amount in 10 years or so...
