resinmonger 04-02-2009, 04:11 PM Break it down scientifically:
AFX chassis = $20
AFX Astro Body = $30 (they are way less common that the Peterbilts)
RARE = + $100
AFX = + $125
FANTASTIC CONDITION = + $50
NOTHING BROKEN OR MISSING = + $50
CHROME IS MINT = + $50
PAINT IS MINT = + $50
Using the last four phrases above all together in one ad = + $50
I come up with $525. Note that Coach's rule of thumb estimate took less time and was within $5. Way to go Coach!

joez870 04-02-2009, 05:24 PM Everyone is broke. 400.00.
pontiacfan1972 04-02-2009, 07:04 PM That is a real sweet piece.
afxcrazy 04-02-2009, 11:09 PM Very Very hard to find.Not like a fake hard to find like the rebel or petty.
I say $550+ Economy or not.Rare is Rare

I think you have a Thunderjet (playing Mantis car which was one of Tom Lowes early companies) pullback car. (need to see it to be sure)

is it under the green pro stock Javelin?
krazcustoms 04-03-2009, 01:35 AM In about 1988 I was in a train store that used to have tons of slot stuff upstairs in a storage room (someone bought the whole lot years ago in case you're wondering) and during my one visit I had a boxed black GMC Astro w/trailer in one hand and a AFX Firechief car in the other. Guess which one I bought? NOT THE GMC!! I liked the truck, but since it was slotless I went with the firechief. Big mistake!
demether 04-03-2009, 06:42 AM I like the "free shipping" mention :p

That would be it, TY

Yes the red with gold sides is a repro.
JLM Racing 04-04-2009, 02:51 AM My guess is nobody will bid......
A/FX Nut 04-04-2009, 09:23 AM I think it won't go much over $400.00. The photos even though there is a number of them are not that good. Not enough close ups. It looks good but, you can't see a clear picture. That's going to hurt the final bid total.
My guess would be about $425.00.
But with 11 bids on it now between 4 bidders who knows. New bidders will jump in late in the auction also and be a factor. Randy.
A/FX Nut 04-06-2009, 06:45 PM 3 hours and 32 minutes to go. Still at $330.00. The last hour should be interesting. Randy.
Pomfish 04-06-2009, 10:21 PM I guess $510
LOL
resinmonger 04-07-2009, 12:21 AM Muh hah hah hah! The patented Hutt guessification algorithim came the closest for people who actually guessed before the bidding ended! $525 guessed versus $510 actual. Now, I will celebrate with mas tequila!
:drunk::hat::freak::dude::tongue:
slotcarman12078 04-07-2009, 12:46 AM Excellent prognostication Mr. Hutt!!! Coach came in a close second!! I must write down the calculations used for your prediction as they were dang near on the money!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup: You deserve every well earned shot tonight!! :lol:
roadrner 04-09-2009, 03:16 PM I'll just stay on the sidelines and watch. :eek: rr
A/FX Nut 04-09-2009, 07:19 PM Well well, I got this one wrong. :rolleyes: I shouldn't be suprised. The high bidder has 4274 feedbacks. Must've wanted it pretty bad.
roadrner 04-09-2009, 08:39 PM Just FYI, It's a #1 in Bob Beer's book. Does look great. :thumbsup::thumbsup: rr
