pUs 311 Posted January 7, 2018 Looking to buy a NIB Top Force Evolution. Will pay between 1000 to 1500 Euros depending on box + inner packaging condition / how complete the kit is and its location (europe = can offer higher price since there'll be no VAT/customs fee). Even if you have anything on offer exceeding my limit, let's talk. I open for discussions. Located in Sweden, will pay through Paypal. /P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yonez 180 Posted November 3, 2018 If they go for $4000 I should sell mine I now notice the OP would go as far as € 15k, but that is probably a typo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't pay not even 1000 for a NIB but that's maybe just me. And the guy with $4,000 has been listing his stuff for years at ridiculously high prices. Just another one of those experts who want to show what they have, without any intention to sell. Has some of them lately, seems to be a fad;-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, that's certainly a typo will fix it. Thanks. 1500 euro is my limit, beyond that and it just gets ridiculous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know if that guy really wants to sell or not. In any case it's almost twice my limit, so I probably won't even bother doing an offer.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SuperChamp82 743 Posted July 11, 2019 Eagle eyes @waterbok 👍 Got to admit I’m struggling slightly with a NIB TFE being worth €1200 - 1500 guys ? I know price is about what anyone is prepared to pay on the day - and that the TFE is rarer than the TF, with a semi-race set up - but, for me, it - and earlier Optima Mid Custom Specials - don’t offer unique engineering or a pro race pedigree to merit that kind of money ? Absolutely no offence meant to anyone who loves the TF, TFE or Optima Specials - esp @pUs - but, standing back, its hard to see past Tamiya / Kyosho taking a solid runner, pimping it in obvious ways then sitting back for the coffers to fill / applause die down ? Happy to be disabused 😇 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Happy to be disabused 😇 Well, value for me is not about the car being fantastic compared to other cars at the time, it's simply about supply vs demand and there's just no supply. You simply can't find one anymore. NIB vintage Egress and Avantes are everywhere in comparison. Objectively speaking, of course it's not worth anywhere near that amount. I can get an awesome Top Force runner built with improved and upgraded parts in almost every area for half that amount.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RestoModGod 12 Posted February 18, 2020 Somebody won it and paid for it ! Was it one of you only $1000 euro NIB. Guess I’ll have to go to $600 for my resto mod. Couldn’t take less it cost my $600. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jakob TK 17 Posted February 18, 2020 No I did give it a quick thought but don't want to spend that much on my hobby. Also, my wife would kill me. Yours looks nice for sure, and with a much more palatable price. Not for me though but it deserves an audience. Also, the seller on ebay is an odd one. I have seen many of his auctions and they are hard to search up and I haven't had any luck trying to save him so maybe his auction did not get enough attention. He does have a very impressive collection though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
