This sure cost a lot less when I was a kid:

Too bad I didn't keep mine NIB! Wink [;)]

The seller's timing was excellent, given the article in the current FSM about building this model.

I think the price is ridiculous, it is still an old plastic kit.  I mean between $100 and $200, I can imagine someone buying it but $560 ??????  I know it's a rare vintage kit but....

Value is relative.  It's worth $100 to $200 to you, obviously over $500 to somebody else, and less than $100 to me.  My wife likes polished, crytal-like rocks dug out of the ground mounted in a metal band to wear on her finger...highly prized to her as a diamond, worthless to me outside the context of her wanting it.  Now if it were an old Ludwig Black Beauty snare drum...hmmmm. <G>

Ha ha ha!  You're right.  I would pay less for a diamond ring than for that space ship I guess!
