The first thing that needs to be done is for the models coming up for auction to be verified. Although extremely unlikley, it is always possible that someone has faked four of these models in the hope of generating the kind of feeding frenzy that we are now seeing on this Forum.

Get in there!! This is great news Mick!! I am pretty sure that this auction of 4 has nothing to do with this thread. None of them are mint if you zoom in on the picture they are all playworn like micks.

They look intersting. I want one.... Alex get them :lol:

Micks suggestion the forum members club together to make a mass bid is interesting but one that i cant see working in practise especially with this lot as the four models in question range in condition from fair to excellent. How would the collective bidders decide who should get which model? I know i would want the best of the bunch with the Yum Yum tape

I think it would end up being a huge bun fight.

They could be distributed via a raffle format, so it is down to luck which model you get, completely random but at least the models would be securely owned by forum members and recorded here on the forum for posterity.

What do we think this lot is worth? there are 4 of only 5 known models :shock:

I guess the estimate of 100-150£ is a bit low, maybe more like 200£ who knows :-) I will be on holiday in france so I will look forward to see who won it, when Im home. (sign me up for one)
