Die Cast Lighted 1/350th TOS Enterprise (TOMY crowd funded)

[JGG1701]

I know this will sound ridiculous but is there anyone that bought an extra TOS Enterprise willing to sell at cost.
I was not financially ready to commit when they were asking for backers.
The scalpers on Evil-bay are having a field day with this one.
I hope this is not taken like I'm a tightwad.
Thank you.

At this point I highly doubt anyone would let an extra go for cost. They made under 3k of them. The resell price is unlikely to go down. They have literally doubled from the initial eBay reseller prices during the last 12 months. The more that are resold the less that will be up for sale. Should take a good 5 years when we start to see just one or two here or there up for sale.

I actually bought an extra as an investment. I knew this replica would end up becoming valuable since it's the best version of the OS Enterprise. I did the same for the Refit and purchased two of them. Good luck. I recommend you try to get in on a decent price on Ebay. Maybe try to bid on an auction vs a buy it now. You will never be able to get one for the original $600 retail price but sometimes people list one below what the market bears. I think the current going price on Ebay is $2375.

I appreciate your response. You are correct as far as I'll never see one at retail.
I do understand you as far as an investment purposes. I respect that. But there are greedy scalpers out there. I also believe there are honest people too who would sell their extra at cost for those who missed or couldn't afford at the time when it was crowd funded.
Thank you all the same.

I hope it works out for you, and you can get one at a good price.

I would get one sooner rather than later. The value is only going to increase especially as we get closer to the Refit release. When that comes out the value of the OS Enterprise is going to explode in my opinion.

I mean, good luck, but anyone who bought two or more almost certainly did so with the goal of selling the extras later at a much higher cost as the value appreciates. There's nothing dishonest about that. It's how the collectible game is played.

I molded the sensor probe that came with the Enterprise because I know I will need to make a replacement when I break it someday. I wish they would have included an extra one... It seems so fragile.
