yes. well, sort of.

this was back in the day when i was more clueless than i am now i didn't understand what an "error car" was.

there used to be an rc hobby shop in surrey the had a decent selection of diecast (i've since forgotten the name of the shop).

they had a first edition kyosho skyline gt-r group A calsonic car that had a error in the sponsorship decals.

i brought it back to the shop asking for replacement because i considered it to be defective. they didn't have a replacement and offered to discount it for me but i took a refund instead.

couple of months later i'm reading a message board forum about high-value error cars and the calsonic i returned was one of them. it's now worth hundreds of dollars more than what i originally would have paid for it... FML :cry:

so now i keep trying to pay more attention to what i buy. i'm not trying to stuff my shelves, and i limit myself to 1st editions if possible (unless there are future releases that are significantly better), or has personal significance, which makes me reluctant to sell...

as for your kyosho... i call it part of the "kyosho gang of four", ie. 300zx/supra/nsx/rx7. they were a big deal back then but by today's standards they are barely maisto quality, but worth hundreds of $$$ more. they are all practically blue chip investments on the collector front.

go figure.

i know someone who got the original 300zx as a gift that he won't sell to me. he's not even a collector and he dosen't deserve it and it should be miiine lol. at least he knows enough not to take it out of the box and it's still sealed.

i've known him for at least 15 years and it's been on his desk at work (he's changed jobs 3 times now) or sitting on his fireplace mantle (he's moved twice)... and once as a doorstop(!). that bastard leaves it out for me to see just to mock me i swear. he says he will leave it in his will to donate to charity instead of me, and should it ever disappear one day he'll know who to hunt down.

regret selling my autoart R34 GTR.... and autoart GC8 Impreza Type R coupe :okay:

is an autoart gtr r34 in midnight purple rare ?

i saw one at wilkinson's back in january.

would you be willing to trade for something?wilkonson's doesnt have the r33 i want and ebay..just dont wanna do it

http://www.revscene.net/forums/67901...ml#post8129321 anyone know if that rx-7 sitll for sale ?

have you asked them about ordering it in? that's why i was there last january because i don't want to do ebay either. i email tim what i see on ebay and he comes up a fair price (or maybe it's just me i dunno i've been buying from there for a very long time).

i tried answering that ad way back when and i didn't hear back from the seller... maybe it's just me

No one wanted to buy the Rx-7 here and on CL. So I had it sold at Wilkinsons.

anyone know where i could find a r33 with or without its box locally?

gah. you sold a type-r, how could you??? :cry:

i only have these three...

Been trying to find the 22B at a decent price for awhile, will keep on looking.

need that r33 to fill in that space hahaha, anyone have suggestions on which car would best replace that gs430 or s2000? bad pics..taken using my phone lol

good luck. sadly it is like chasing a unicorn :(

Autoart just listed the Spirit R for Pre-order. ;)

can anyone remember the name of the car shop next to the TnT at metrotown? that place has autoart as well... not sure of their pricing though compared to wilkinsons but they have almost as much inventory as they do.

^ its autoworld. Markups are sorta crazy. Anywhere from 25-50%. They had a few limited autoart japanese police cars for like $180 and they got a 787B there as well as the merc S class with leather seats.

i vaguely remember they offered discounts if you buy more than one, but i don't know if there is any savings to be had because of the markups you mentioned.

but they do have some selection for discontinued stuff.

someone sellin MB s63 by autoart for 450.. will it sell ?

In the past 3 pages, you've posted 9 times regarding buy an R33, including 5 times directed at thumper. STFU. Go buy one on Ebay if you're that desperate.

looks like we got a lame, you took the time to count how many times ive posted, get a life you stupid goof

i bought it at wilkinsons. you can see it on their website.

if you want my r33, which i said before i didn't really want to sell, the price for it will be $150 so that i can replace it with a z-tune :Devil:

otherwise, wilkinsons has it for $130 and if you preorder now they will get it to you with their next autoart shipment in 4 weeks time.

according to their latest email flyer, wilkinsons is changing their business model. they are going to start carrying less inventory and do more pre-orders from now on. that way they don't run out of space like they are now and they aren't stuck with stock that won't sell.

still dusting... but domestics instead of imports this time. CHP mustang and a Buick GNX from GMP (RIP :( ):
