I'm not trying to justify the price, but those are not the same item. One looks like 1:4 scale and the other is 1:32.

They are the same, I double checked they both have the scale 1:32 in their description and the guy gives an approximate length of around 29" (just over 1/2 meter) and the new one has a length given as over 1/2 meter Surely you'd like to fold out a sneaky $1000 for it MB

Arrww... you can find those kind of guys also on expositions like the techno classica. Old rich guys just buy those cars for their grandchild without thinking about price. Also they selling other car stuff like very expensive posterprints with very high win!

I stand corrected:
"Please note this is a 1:32 scale car so this is a HUGE BIG CAR!! almost 1/2 a meter long."
This means that the 1:1 car is nearly 16 metres long!!! Parking it must be a pain.

Edit: Something very strange going on there. The XQ toys Ferrari Enzo is 1:32 scale and is about 150mm long (and costs less than $30). Maybe they make two versions and he got the descriptions mixed up ? However, the photos in my link look very similar.

I posted this in another forum area. Trying to get a feel for what it is worth. Maybe here would be a better place.

Tamiya imported this with the sand scorcher for a month or so in the early 80's.
Much more rare than the sand scorcher itself.

Not so much - this thread is more for mocking sellers wanting overly inflated prices for their stuff - your radio needs another zero in the price to qualify

What to make of this...
