    Moving, life has changed, so the final stash of models will go on Ebay this week. These include the 1/24 hand builts. All are quite rare, usually runs of 100 or less. The P5 and the last two Evos in cases are 1/43. The Bugattis are hand built 1/24.

    Sniff....

    Hey guy, how have you been? Long time since we chatted. On Ebay, I am now tfa7.

    Used to be TreasureFindersAntiques7, a business the ex and I had, got tired of writing that, so now, tfa7

    Will be putting the models on Ebay this weekend when I return to Florida. Actually, have some Ferrari things on Ebay as I write this. Need a pair of official women's Ferrari pants or skirt?

    First picture, GTO is already gone. Got $150 for that on Ebay. The 6th is a 1/24 P3/4, by Creative Miniatures, they have sold recently on Ebay for $125-$140. I would take the low end.

    Thanks for asking.

    Gotta call you Thursday. I just need to give you my Paypal address, I stope the auctions, and I ship when I return to Florida this weekend, like Monday or Tuesday.

    These are really nice, incredible material. Raul was selling these through Nordstroms, Sak's, for an average of $2500. Crazy man, after 6 bypass surgery, he kept smoking. Not to mention he was as gay as they come. Really nice man, but, his number came up.

    I sent you a PM.

    Is there a wikipedia for him?
    I tried to Google, but only a few bits of info came up.

    Lady Valeria only smokes when she's awake...:D :D...from first thing in the morning until she falls asleep.

    She's a cancer survivor, too....

    It's a tough habit to break apparently...

    I could tell those were fine pieces....

    I have been spelling his name wrong, his industry name was Raoul Arango, not Raul as he signed his lease with me.

    http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-12551257.html


    Description of one of Arango's shows:

    "Sunday night, Saks Fifth Avenue Galleria presented ``Fashionably Hot,`` benefiting Broward House and the Poverello organization, both of which support the HIV-positive. ``A scorcher of an evening,`` they called it. It started off in the temperate zone -- exquisite hors d`oeuvres, open bar, cool music. But the mercury soared the minute the fashion show began. Cuban-born designer Raoul Arango`s Holiday/Resort couture -- intricate metallics, iridescent pastels, feminine bouffant ballgowns, and slinky cocktail wear. Paraded by a regiment of models to the provocative beat of Let`s Talk about Sex. Sexy. Naughty. Downright wicked. Like they were about to dance right off the runway.

    Said June Taylor, ``But by the time we`re old enough to maybe afford one of those gorgeous dresses, we don`t have the figures to wear them. It`s not fair.``

    This is one of my favorites:

    You are saying in the 6th picture thats the CMA MODEL? I don't think so. It looks more like the Joeff. I have the original CMA patterns and it looks nothing like that.

    You are correct, it is from Creative Masters, not Creative Miniatures. Actually was under the Revell banner at that time. And now they sell for more than $150.

    Some of you like to keep up on current pricing, so here is an update.

    I listed the Ferrari models on Ebay, for ridiculous prices. My favorite piece, the 288 Evoluzione, I started at $650, did not think anyone would bite.

    Sold to Japan for $750. Depression immediately set in. Guy paid within 15 minutes.

    The Lusso kit went for $300, the Western Models Alfa went for $210.

    I relisted the rest of the Ferraris, the Bugattis go next week. I am tfa7 on Ebay.
