    That is what the seller is asking. . . Doesn't mean anyone will pay that for it.

    The most I've ever paid for a GMP mustang was 140 for a Vermilion Red LX Aero hatchback when they came out last year. That's pretty much my upper limit for any diecast display model.

    That's scalper price right there. These go for around 250$ most of the time, which I still find ridiculous!

    This is a scam in a way. This is just someone posting this high price to drive the "market" up. When other's see this, then they will buy up the lower price ones thinking they are getting a great deal on something really expensive. People have done this for years with Beanie Babies. I like them, but I'd rather have a 331 stroker in my living room or man cave than one of those on my shelf gathering dust. At least I can use the engine in my car one day.

    I do love these diecast models and every now and then see someone selling an entire collection on CL. Yup, just something else to collect dust though.

    But, but it's a "Vault" version!

    I think that kind of money pays for their obsession! I must say the mini garage to display and take picture in is cool, but I am with you all to say that I would spend my money on the real toys too! Plus the crooks at eBay and their Global Shipping Program charge exhorbinant shipping and want another $260 import charges to Canada on top of it all!! It's only worth half now that they took it out of the box and played with it!

    I was going to ask the same thing when I read that


    Cool (but not cool?). I like the fox and mustang themes stuff but I'd rather have a real garage like this

    And I thought some of the things I watch on eBay were expensive! These cars aren't even old.
