GNX 1/18th scale #128; '87 GN 1/24th scale

I have #128 of the 1/18th scale GNX cars, that Epitome Exclusives sold.
Included is a matched number lithograph signed by Mike Doble - Buick's creator of the GNX.

I also have two of the GMP 1/24th '87 GN cars.
All above still in boxes.

Looking for fair prices for these.

Thanks - Rich W. ("Mr-Shine")

GNX 1/18th scale #128; '87 GN 1/24th scale

I was going to collect them, but only bought a few.
At a local car show this past weekend, I showed the 1:24 car to a
diecast vendor, and asked him what I should get for it.
He said I shouldn't take less than $150 for it.
New, in the box, never displayed.

Thanks - Rich

not to burst your bubble, only to give you some reality... you can get the 1:24's on ebay for half that...

The 1:18 with the litho is worth at least $150 though.

Sorry to break it to ya; Epitome is still selling the 1:24 GNs for $99.99. Got mine off of eBay for $48.00 though, in perfect condition and still in both boxes. On the upside, I'm not sure what the 1:18 GNXs are going for these days but it may be quite a bit. I used to know a good collectible website to check with but I don't think it's around any more.

1:24 '87 GN diecast

"GNcollectables" and "JST A 6",

Thank you for both for your replies/info.

I guess the diecast dealer I spoke with was misinformed.
He told me that the earlier/original ones were worth more,
and said not to sell it for less than $150.
I think I'll just hang on to them for now.

I'd love to find the owner of GNX #128, to see if he/she would
like to buy the numbered 1:18 GNX diecast.

Thanks again - Rich

Are you sure the dealer wasn't referring to your 1:18 GNX model when he said $150? That would make more sense, even though that may be a bit low...

If you change your mind and want to sell one of the 1:24 GNs at a reasonable price let me know--I'm looking for one to stash away for my nephew's Christmas present.

Thanks
