    What an amazing collection, and a brilliant thing to do for your friend at the club. These things get so personal when you've had them for years. I recently sold my 1990 Tamiya King Cab to a friend, who I know is going to do the right thing by it, and restore it back to its former glory, but I do miss it. I still have my Manta Ray, and not letting that go!! Great video. And I love that you didn't gauge the crap out of the prices, and kept it within the reach of us mere mortals who love the hobby. Have a great weekend. 👍🏻

    Sorry to hear about 935. Yes, it is one of the Holy Grails of vintage RC cars. Even back in 1990, the early on road pancars were nowhere to be found (wish there had been internet back then). The ultimate Holy Grail is though, Can Am Lola that came out in 1980. At least, that is my opinion.

    Great deal! I was hoping to see something with that Hobao GT car, they have always intrigued me - partially because i have an older Ofna - but they look well done too. I do like that Traxxas rally car too - nice!

    Just dug my Kyosho Gallop Mk1 out of the garage to give a dust off after watching this video. Made me wonder what's its worth now but but in the garage it went. To many memories attached to it to sell at the moment.

    Tomley , Never Could Fall asleep when watching one of your videos bud, thats a great hall of goodies you off loaded for a great profit , gee id have a few bucks then to almost 60 various kits and models from Tamiya,Kyosho,Axial,RocHobby,Rovan,EtcEtc, but would not like to part with unless like you said had to eat lol, one thing i cant get my head around is ppl when you go to sell them something you have built and put your heart and soul into the finish and bring it up better than Expert without a single scratch or anything and they offer a couple hundred less than the going retail or basically the same as retail, to be honest id rather drive it and enjoy the thing myself and then get retail if really needed so thats where i choose not to sell anything i build these days but when i go to buy something here in Australia there asking through the roof prices and stupid me will pay it like i did on an 2017 Topforce for $700 and $650 for the Avante re-re just to have them in the collection instead of waiting two weeks and buying from hong kong for half that :-((()))
