I remember when I offered this guy (a member here) a XX NIP bumper he was looking for and it way expensive to him. I guess some people are just a bit, stingy?

That is ridiculously priced though.... I've got a NIP kit, a runner Kinwald & a whole heap of XX spares & upgrades... maybe I should think about selling it all if this is the going rate!

Dan - I could price it at £1k if I wanted to. Anything is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Maybe it isn't worth £495 - I don't know, let's see how it goes.

All this conjecture and comments on the value crack me up. The cost of the components is well over £350, I spent 6 months sourcing the bits. Rusty worn out crap xx kinwalds have fetched over £200 on eBay, so I don't see how it's not worth a fair bit. It strikes me as sour grapes people commenting trying to say it's missing bits or isn't complete - let's see your rebuilt xx kinwald on eBay then for less money? Put up or shut up IMO.

Dan a NIB XX Kinwald is worth a lot of money in my view. Iconic buggy, successful in racing - it's not like you can buy them in plentiful supply. Plenty of collectable items are worth lots of money to a collector - I sold a Porsche GT2 RS dealer brochure for £300 to a collector. That's just for a book, so something which I have bled and sweat over for 6 months and collected parts all over the world at great expense isn't worth £10? Get over it boys. If you can't afford it then don't moan about it.

Like I said - let's find the market price, anyone that wants to start the process - make me an offer on eBay on what you are willing to pay for it. Put up - or shut up.

Well said. Regardless of what it is 'worth' you can advertise it at whatever price you like. People commenting about it being overpriced are probably not potential buyers anyway. These collectables are quite often 'overpriced' but there will be someone at some point that will buy the car because they really want it. I guess you are in no rush to sell it either so just leave it at its price and see how it goes or what offers you get.

Oh, and Dan - how much do you want for your NIB Kinwald XX. Give me a price, how much would you take for it, right now? Let's get the market price discussion going!

If my price is so redic - I'll give you £200 for it. Send me your PayPal details

Well that got things going didn't it

I've seen some shit losi xx sell on ebay recently for good prices including apparent race setup cars. If they were really race cars they'd have all the options on like mine does
Suits me they are getting more pricey if I ever have to cash in

Good luck with the sale

The rear springs are really pinks, they just made them blue for the Kinwald edition

It came with quite a few blue parts, which that one seems not to have.

Hello, yes this is my listing.

Appreciate your comments good and bad, but ultimately this is a unique rebuilt XX Kinwald - show me another which is comparible then comment on whether it's worth it or not!

To JohnM - this has all the kinwald bits on it - can you let me know what it is missing?

To retro Rac - they are the correct kinwald wheels, can you let me know what wheels it came on? Look here for reference http://vintagelosi.com/Explodes_files/kinwald.pdf

To suparajicon - if I remember correctly you wanted an extortionate amount for the bumper, which is the same extortionate amount you want for all your spares - so I would expect you to be happy prices are going up.

again if you have a rebuilt nut and bolt kinwald you are selling for 50p let me know where to find it? Didn't think so....

Well I suppose there is always someone out there willing to buy, after all we all like different things.

Yup, sold it.

No shock that rare old fully rebuilt icon with upgrades sells for more than rusty clapped out piles of crap. Still don't see the big deal myself - if you add up the parts cost it wasn't even that expensive.

Anyway I'll be sure to ask the experts on here next time I put something up for sale! Just in case I'm ripping someone off or missing some parts!

I'm chilled - ice cold. I'm like a bottle of liquid nitrogen. Didn't see a response from the experts after I called them out on page 1 - no issues with you Daz. Just having a bit of fun.
