Surely a joke price?

wildoliver · #2 25-09-2015

Well I can't see it ever selling but it's a pretty rare model that must be super rare to find new in box, I wouldn't be surprised to know it was the only one in existence.

I do find NIB models both a bit depressing and pointless though to be honest, I'd much sooner have a nice condition but slightly used one and enjoy it occasionally, I slightly regret buying a re-re RC10 classic as I've built it but can't bring myself to use it, which totally defeats the point of what's basically a toy car.

Worth a try I suppose, but when you've got nib yoke 870c's only fetching around £400 at auction I really doubt he will get even half of what he's asking.

There's always someone who'll buy it. Personally I think it's £750 too much

far too much, its not as if its a classic or anything

Never wanted one when they came out, so why the hell pay that much for on old one

I think schumacher had that problem the world over, that's why it's probably rare

I had a fire blade USA and a fire blade Evo when I was younger, great cars that won many trophies.

I want one but no way will I be paying that

MattW · #11 26-09-2015

The evo was night and day the best of the Fireblades - it was the only one that had the motor remotely in the right place. I still have my evo, and all of the prototype parts for the prototype car that we ran.

I don't see any way this guy is going to get close to this price for the car, but hey, you never know. Someone might be daft enough to buy it, in which case the seller is laughing.

A few month back I was looking for an original Fireblade. I wanted one when they came out, I was only about 13 years old. Anyway I came across this one. It was originally up for £1000! I think someone might buy it for around £500. For me a nice tidy used one would be fine as I would like to run it occasionally.
