quark51 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 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.

fulcrum1 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 On the other side of the coin, I’ve also snagged some legit deals too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
quark51 Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 So have I, I also run HO scale trains and I picked up a $225.00 locomotive for $60.00 on Amazon warehouse deals and I got some good deals on model airplanes also. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrGlueblob Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 1/72 Topol missile kit from Revell for 20 bucks, on there right now.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 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.

DrGlueblob Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) ..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. Chip (I got one at 20) Edited April 2, 2019 by DrGlueblob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kurt H. Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Sometimes prices can be very good on Amazon, and vary wildly, even shipping and selling from Amazon If you really want to track prices, try this site: https://camelcamelcamel.com/ If you watch carefully and you are not in a hurry, sometimes badger Airbrushes reach very good prices.

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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whiskey Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 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! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
