I would've had it for that BIN money if I'd seen it - I'm on the lookout for a sub-30 quidder again, preferably a truck, but a "blobby basher" buggy (Hopper etc) would do. Apparently the Cobra has turned my nephew's request for a cool RC car into an emergency (For xmas)

There don't seem to be very many of those around at the moment ... in fact eBay UK seems to have been a bit quiet recently - I didn't even try to sell anything in August, September so far has been a bit better - apart from this weekend, or "Summer" as we'll look back & remember it

Yes, I thought that too - seems it hasn't really picked up since the footy earlier in the year. Rubbish for sale, not much of it, extortionate asking prices, psychotic bidding on stuff that IS worth having. All a bit wonky really, perhaps it'll sort itself out nearer xmas

I think I'd call that "price volatility" ... & TBH it's been a feature of eBay collectible sales for a long time, it's just that's it's getting more obvious in RC sales over the last year

Things either sell for twice what they're worth, or half ... I don't put things up for auction now as it's just too random - I just post Buy It Nows priced at what I think they're worth - 2/3rds of what I list sells very quickly, 1/3 doesn't sell at all

If there's any justice in the world I think this would sell for 7.99GBP including shipping

Ohhhh - Why did you have to show me that???

Don't get too excited, there's 6 days for anything to happen!
From what I've seen/heard, the Meteor is a far cry from the "finesse" of the Cobra
