    Does anyone know what this is worth? My ex-gf bought for me in '06 and it sat on my desk for a month then went back in box. Thinking about putting on eBay but want to have an idea of what a good reserve would be so I dont undercut myself. I know it was really expensive when she bought it from Sharper markup but dont know if its a collectible or just an overpriced toy.

    Hmmm, I've never seen this before. Detail looks okay at best. (Especially the rims and engine.) I'd guess maybe $30 at the most...

    Found one on ebay but had no bids, I am totally in the dark about what its worth...I am sure by tomorrow someone will give me a good idea as to what I should expect.

    made by Maisto, a mid level company. Nice but not great models.

    Is Sharper Image still around? If not that might add a bit to the value, but I agree with Daniel, $30 would be a good price.

    Sharper Image in The Woodlands by me has closed, not sure about the Galleria location in Houston which would be next closest store....The site is still up but they dont have this or anything like it on their site I could find.

    I think it's the model from Maisto, only in different box. When we had this remote controled model in our shop few years ago, I think it was approx. 80-85 USD. You could buy almost 2 pieces of Maisto Premiere Edition in the price of this model.

    I have one in the same color. Got it as a present a while back from a family member for Christmas. Have no clue where the remote control to mine went, perhaps it's thrown out. I think it had working head and tails? Aside from the driving function. I keep the model as display now.

    I think its a cool car but since I am moving I want to get rid of as much stuff as possible...Might keep it to display if I can't find anyone who wants it.
