...and ivory, marble, all kinds of precious stones and written in hippocroccofrog blood!

What really p***es me off about this sort of pricing, is that the prices are inflated due to collectors - people who have absolutely no intention of building the kit(s) in question, or reading and referring to a particular book; they just want it in their 'collection', knowing the value will (probably) rise, and they can smuggly say "I've got that!"
This means there are probably, for example, 100 Airboxevell Messfire BW 209 kits, which real modellers want to build, sitting in a cupboard with the boxes unopened, just because some speculating bunch of numpties bought them for 'collections'. Grrrrr!!

Bl**dy tempted to send Amazon.co.uk an email and ask about this....

But they're just the agent old chap - it's the actual sellers who need a kick up the ejection port!

Time for a change of policy then, no silly f*nny money, keep it real!
