A good point, and Rocketron's Ebay auctions spring to mind as examples of how a first-class reputation can result in even the humblest of models (e.g. 40c Hay Trailer) selling for good money.

Thanks for that Bill

I am aware premium sellers can fetch higher prices. I too am willing to pay a bit more when I know the level of a reputable seller. I just wasn't sure what it as about these particular models.

Hello Shane, not only the colour variations of the models but also the different wheels Metal Wheels, Silver Plastic Wheels, Grey Plastic Wheels, and Black Plastic Wheels. These not only come in different sizes but also different number of treads on them.

Then there is a same model but has different castings, if you go to Georges 1-75 Casting show you will see a lot of different variations.

I mainly collect kingsize and didn't intend to go down the 'variations' route but was lured in by wheel colour variations. Then bought three Iso Grifo's for the blue colour and wheel variations. Although to be fair, these are to go on the back of a kingsize transporter so don't count.
All my collection is absolutely mint, sage and onion condition
