Re: Is this die cast worth this much?

That's a 1:18 scale which is rarer than the 1:24 but still not that rare. I think the $80 range is probably about right. Seems like I saw them for about $70 a couple of years ago.
That said, the last time I looked there is a Hot Wheels that sold for $80,000. (I was off by 8000, here's a link http://www.hobbyhub360.com/index.php...els-cars-7945/) It's a first issue VW surfer bus with surf boards. It was released (that is the high$$$ one) and determined that the surfboards were a choking hazard, so only a few were ever released and only one is known to exist in pristine condition. So much pristine that the vid I saw showed them handling it with cotton gloves. Now there is no way I would pay that for it but someone did.
