What model was he selling for $1000.00. I just finished a build of Lindberg's 1/16 Wells Fargo stagecoach and got $750.00 for it. Selling a model for ANY price depends on finding a client  that really wants the sunject badly and has the money laying around they can spare. this is becoming a rare thing however.

  This wasn't a built model, just a kit still inthe box. There was a nice built Japanese aircraft carrier there (1/350) for $750, but that I acn understand with all the work he did on it. My real question is, is there any kit, unbuilt in the box, taht you would pay that much for? I just can't see it even though I know this one is really rare. I'll wait a day or two before saying what the kit was.

What? You have a Monitor competing with a PT Boat and WWII destroyers in not even the same scale?

That'd be "ships > 1/400"...

Honestly entries in any scale in the few Texas shows I've been to are so few they could probably just all be lumped into "ships" and nobody would notice...

Wait...a model contest in Texas that actually had a 1/350 ship entry? Usually ships = barren wasteland of empty display table. 

  Actually, in 1/350 they had the Texas, the England, and another Destroyer. Then some guy had three fairly nice ones there for sale but they don't count. Only the three in the contest.

Don't know about that, but in 1985, I won a "Champion Cow Chip Thrower" trophy from the "Regal Ranch" in Stafford, Texas, while on a business trip there! 

A proud accomplishment to this day!
