                        This topic has been locked. FineScale.com forums are not to be used for solicitations to sell products--not even long-buried "Tiger VI" (or "VII") tanks! I apologize for the inconvenience to other members.

                        Hello,

                        Im interested to sell Tiger Tank VI.
                        It should be that kind of tank:
                        <snip! --Ed.>
                        Im not sure exactly, that its the one in the picture!
                        About 40 years ago Russian military forces tryed to pull it up from the swamp,
                        but their tecnuqe was not capable to do it!
                        They pulled it up and could write down the model and then it sank again.
                        By my information it should be Tiger 7 (the biggest and the most heavyer Tiger)
                        By the Ger military magazine the value of Tiger is 40 milj. USD
                        At the moment I got several interested collectors from all over the world!
                        The buyer can pull it up with us in Russia.
                        We take care of the papers to get over the board.
                        Info about other machines:
                        <snip! --Ed.> (for sale)
                        Please make your offer!



                        Best Regards,

                        Toomas,
                        we are builders of scale armor MODELS.
                        while there are some serious hobbyists here, and the occasional project that goes a bit over budget, i doubt anyone is spending a thousand US on a project.
                        (well, maybe you 1/16th Tiger boys!)

                        what i am saying is this is not the place to sell a 1:1 tank.

                        ed.

                        Any idea just how many fully operational Shermans I could buy with 8 mil.

                        And they don't reside at the bottom of a swamp either.

                        Eroch, why air freight? It's been under water for 60 years, just buy a good scuba kit and drive it home. Of course, you would need your 100 CD's to bide the time away.Big Smile [:D]

                        Maybe they could raise also an old torpedoed Merchant ship for a few extra mil - then you could sail her home in style.Tongue [:P]Big Smile [:D]

                        Sorry Tom. The tiger's dimensions are 8.45m long and 3.7m wide. My lot is only 12m long and 5m wide. I don't think I could squeeze it in with my wife's flower pots along the sides of the driveway. He-he-he.

                        Just kidding though...

                        Okay "Ivan", my momma says 1 million is all I can spend. Say, does that come with Maryland State inspection? They can be a b!^%#.

                        Hey isn't there rule, regulation or something against trying to run a scam in this forum? If there isn't, there should be. Don't make me call the boys in the US Customs Service!

                        Anyone notice that the "Panther" isn't, and neither is the "Panzer III" under Other Equipment ! I have some swamp land just like the stuff in the photo I'd like to sell you. The exact mirror image of the Monitor is under there somewhere; or maybe it was Amelia Earhart. I forget which; Just send money.Clown [:o)]Clown [:o)]Clown [:o)]Big Smile [:D]

                        Now, now, folks! Let's not be so hard on sunken tank entrepreneur Toomas!
                        I'm sure he's completely legit.
                        Not a scam at all.

                        I am still waiting for him to ship the Brooklyn Bridge to me, though...he said he sent it Global Priority...Wink [;)]

                        Tom,

                        We don't want to really make fun of your ad. It's just that I believe that this is not the proper venue for selling such an expensive item. While we appreciate the idea of the availability of the real tiger, we surely are not the crowd who would want to buy one. As you may have noticed by now in the other threads, the we are just fun-loving and surely know how to amuse ourselves by taking shots at each other.
