    Just been tidying around and come across some Ferrari bits and bobs among them is a Pocher Ferrari Testarossa around about 1/8 scale if I remember correctly.

    The model was played with by a kid and has a couple of broken windows but is generally in good condition apart from that, except the inside which has the seats and steering wheel there but inside on the floor however it has no paint damage.

    I was just wondering if anybody could offer any advise about this, is it worth putting on eBay or would it cost more in postage than the thing is worth, or would this type of thing be a project for someone or to make a barn find scene etc.

    Any help appreciated.

    Replacement parts are available on ebay to repair these.
    Hard to know without seeing it but similar ones in the condition you describe go for anything from £75 to £150.

    The first thing I did whI bought my Testarossa was pick up a Pocher TR. While not 100% accurate, its massive, detailed, up gradable and beautiful. There is a member here in Fchat name is scaledetails, his Ebay usernames is the same. I have picked up various upgrade parts for my Pocher over the years.

    Personally I would keep it after getting some spare parts on Ebay. Judging by prices on Ebay, people tend to like these thing unbuilt and in their original box. They sell in the $6-900 range. Partially built, fully built, or missing parts $3-500 range depending on the skill of the builder and how well the model has been kept up over time.

    You could get all the parts you need to fix it for under $25. I would PM scaledetals as he probably has the parts.

    PS my prices are in USD an on EBay in the US

    Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm just in decluter mode at the moment so I'm just going to get rid, I'll try the things I have on a well known auction site and see if there is any interest to cover the cost of postage.

    Thanks once again.
