Kinda shocked at this price!!

#1 Post by derekc62 »

I was following an e-bay auction for Forbidden Zone's Frankenstein meets the Wolf Man.

The kit's been out of production for more than a few years. It was sculpted by Mike Hill with a base by David Fisher. Classic kit, no question.

I have one and was curious to see how the bidding would go. Silly me, I figured it would fetch, tops, about $300. Boy, was I wrong!

Now I'm curious to see if the buyer will pay the... $771!

I have seen a number of older kits go for some serious cash recently mainly on ebay people must have money again I have a cap on what I would spend on any kit and its a lot less than that
