So, I found an Ebay listing, (the specific name of which I won’t share cause i want it, so bad,) for a Minicamps 1/18 mclaren model. The bidding sits at 40 dollars and there are 5 days left. The catch is that these models usually sell for upwards of $200. So should i take my chance with this car or what?

Enter a bid of the maximum amount you’re willing/able to pay for it.

I got my JB 2012 British GP 1/18th for 100 bucks. I got my last Spark 1/43rd scale for about the same. Prices will always be all over the place with these Niche models. I would set a max bid though, and see if you can win it

Yeah, ill see if I can do that. I mean, theres nothing to lose if you don't win the bid, right?

Exactly. Is it an F1 car?

Senna’s McLaren MP4/6. V12 all day

Ahh, I prefer the 4/4, but the Honda V12 was great

Set a limit you're comfortable with and bid up to it. If you lose it, no harm done, and if you win, you get a badass piece for what you consider fair money.
