Response to $kyhawk madne$$ on ebay! A guy is asking $329 US.......

I regularly place (but never win) at regional events. I'm not the best or one of the best, but I'm decent. I don't think I have a model I would sell for as "low" as $300-400. I wouldn't build one for that amount if someone asked for something to be built. (Though I'd build for free it were a good friend or family member.) So if the model's decently built, I don't see it as an excessive price. And if for some reason I wanted something on the shelf and didn't feel like actually building it, I'd pay $300-400 for it and think I got a pretty good deal. As someone else said, what's your time worth? If you build quickly and your day job pays minimum wage, selling a built model at that price can sound like good money. If you build slowly and make a middle-class income, then it's just making a little money off your hobby. yeah, all except the part about him being presumed dead.
