I was checking 1/144 scale models on Amazon and someone was trying to sell a 1/144 Revell A-400M model kit for $308.65, a Revell 1/144 B-2A for $228.44, A Revell British Airways A380 for $420.16, a Revell 777-300ER for $230.46 plus $4.49 shipping, a Minicraft KC-135E for $149.00 plus $10.00 shipping, a Revell 1/48 B-29 for $307.08 and another 1/48 B-29 for $396.63 plus $5.46 shipping. I saw these prices and almost fell out of my chair laughing.

I buy a lot off of Amazon. With patience you can snag some pretty good deals. One trick that often works for me  is to bookmark an item I am interested in and I wait and see if it drops in price in a few days. Often times it does and sometimes significantly.

..oops,

Revell Topol now 26.99.. Yep, it pays to bookmark! Sometimes weeks will pass before the price drops or rises. That Topol kit started over 40.00 on Amazon.

Bookmark it on Amazon or your internet browser?

Bookmark it on your Amazon account (I believe it's called "Add to list" on Amazon). I've had items drop in price that day, some drop in a few days, some within the month... some not at all. But if you aren't in a hurry its often worth the wait.

 

HTH

Ah yeah, gotcha. I have my modelling list I do that with. I guess I turned off the alerts or notifications for it and that's why I don't get anything about price drops. Will change that now!
