Seems kind of pricey to me  ???

Way too pricey - they are trying to drive up the value of the kits with the 2 OOP kits, notably the W.29.

You'll also have to pay for delivery.

Looks like a poor deal.

With the AUS$ and the US$ pretty much at parity that works out at about $340 per OOP kit, if you bought the other kits new at todays prices.

Indeed - incredibly poor value, especially when you factor in the additional shipping cost compared to WNW's free shipping, at least an extra $200.

The sale ended today and the guy received two offers, ebay does not disclose what the offers were or if they were accepted, so if we see a heap of WnW kits back on ebay but selling separately we will know he didn't take the offer.

There is also a W29 and an LVG on ebay Australia, the LVG has reached $152.50 while the W39 (currently listed at $99) has not attracted a bid, there is still three days left for the auction.

I'd pay about $150 for a W-29 but no more. I am guessing that's what the special editions will be close to although I would prefer to see another production run of the standard edition as there does still seem to be a healthy demand.

It's re-listed at $1,400 excluding postage.

well Lance., it's 11 kits Lance including 2 OOP -- but if you do the math he's trying to get $720 for the Hansa and the LVG, plus the rest at full retail, all plus shipping, so it's not a very good deal yet :P

I'm not sure the seller realises that the available kits carry no shipping costs - it really blows a hole in the $1,400 figure

They will do well to get near $1k, if that.

The WNW lot did not sell, and has been relisted for AU $100 less.  What a bargain!  :)

 http://www.ebay.com/itm/171002612561

On a related note, a W.29 was offered as a fixed price listing for $280 yesterday, and sold within a day.  So there are people willing to pay a lot for the OOP kits.

Given there's a good (better then that IMHO) chance that these OOP Kits will be re-released (if only as "super-kits) I'd still say things are well over priced. Perhaps I'm not the typical perspective customer however I have enough WNW Kits in the stash to allow some time for the price to come down or, better still, the re-release in some form.
Cheers,
Lance ;)

$280 was a fair price for the W.29 considering some have sold close to $400, demand for this particular model will ease off, as each one is sold that is one less customer looking for the kit and there would only be a certain number of people looking for or wanting this kit. I'll be keeping my eye on the one on Australian ebay at the moment, it is listed at $99 and has not had a bid, only two days left for the auction.
