I don't read German at all, but here goes. I nice Mint red Ferarri like this one IF AUTHENTIC is worth 500 U.S. The Seller does not know matchbox models, that is the last Nick code Car with the earliest blue colored Ferarri pictured on the 'New Model' first box for these #75s. Poor job by the Seller. Is there a refund guarantee that protects you from a FAKE. If so, go for it up to your limit unless the guy's Feedback is questionable. If the guys Feedback in any way mentions re-paints or a modified model, stay away. I hope some of our german speaking members can help you out further on this one.

Hi kwakers,
your german is a little bit...ääähhh... "getting used to"...but you try it and this is very laudable
I have already bought some models from this seller and until now he is trustworthy to me!
But for the rest of this month my pocketmoney is spent and also I really do not collect RW (especially in this Magnitude )
Sure there is another interested Person in this forum.......

I am very glad you take my bad German as humor, I meant it that way with a BIG smile. If you are confident about this Seller, it is a very good lead you have given us here. Some of the members get upset about mentioning live auctions before they finish, but your question is valid. Would the Seller send you a base picture of this model for us to see on the Forum? I think there is only 21 hours left on this auction, but plenty of time to give him an extra audience here if the base rivets look right. If I contact him with my 'Special German', he will be too busy laughing at the dumb Yank to answer me. kwakers

Got this pic today (little bit too late). For me as a layman the rivets look good.
What's your opinion, please?
