Why is every model so expensive ?

 

[LorenzoLommus]

Why is every model so expensive ?

Over $300 for a not so rare 1:400?

Also, why is this store selling mostly El Al models and not much else. Almost every single model is selling at inflated price.

 

[LorenzoLommus]

Are your models made of gold?

Love that comment. Seriously I tried to find a 24K gold plated model and couldn't

 

[Mark22]

Lets start with the AC Arkia 707 you got for 150USD, it can be found anywhere for almost a third of the price, lets see if you're really going to match your prices.

Completely absurd price!

Meanwhile, your SQ Wings Singapore "Tropical" B747-400 model, in 1:200 scale by SQ Wings, is listed for $200.00.

What’s in the box? x1 SQ Wings Diecast Model Removable Magnetic Landing Gears Premium Metal Alloy Stand Airline Card

It's a much bigger model, full of details, and it costs only 20 USD more than your old 1:400 747. lolwut
Your pricing is all messed up. This El Al 747 model is an old, discontinued model, and it's not rare. It can be easily found for less than 40 USD, maybe even less than $30

Get your prices right. All your answers here on this thread are complete rubbish, sorry but that's true. No one will buy your models with these prices.

@LeoMuse747, thanks for your expert appraisal of our pricing—I'm sure the manufacturers would love to hear your opinions on what their models should be worth. Unfortunately, pricing isn’t based on how you personally feel about a model’s value.


We price based on market trends, availability, demand, and actual collector value—not some arbitrary number pulled from a bargain bin. If you think you can find an El Al 747-400 for $30, by all means, go for it.

And comparing a GeminiJets 1:400 model to an SQ Wings 1:200 model as if they should have the same pricing logic? That’s like complaining that a Rolex costs more than a Casio because they both tell time.


At the end of the day, serious collectors recognize quality, rarity, and proper market value. If our prices aren’t for you, that’s fine—but don’t assume that means they’re wrong.

Happy hunting.

There is no worse blind man than the one who doesn't want to see.
Good luck with your prices!

Thank you! Oh and we do price matching by the way so again, thanks for your expertise

New Gemini Jets Limited Edition EL AL Boeing 747-400 Scale 1/400 Replica Model | eBay

Brand new beautiful die cast plane... never been out of box bought here in Vegas from Gemini Jets. Very little wear to box as seen in photos... Always free shipping packaged professionally with care from pet and smoke free cooled storage... lots more planes new in boxes are also in my store...

www.ebay.com

Well, here's one for less than $50, so regardless of your price matching, your pricing is indeed very wrong. Not sure who these "experts" you're getting your opinions from are, but I hope they didn't get paid to appraise anything

 

[LeoMuse747]

so... you do price match but, in the end, you don't do price match?

For these prices the models better do tricks on it. Like dawg what are you doing

 

[MCL2000]

No one’s asking you to purchase it, my guy. If you see something you like but the price isn’t vibing with you, just let us know.

1. We actually price match individually whenever possible.
2. As a business owner with a professional aviation background, I ensure these models are top-tier in quality and condition—because real collectors appreciate craftsmanship over cheap plastic and fake ebay listings

But hey, if you’re looking for dollar store deals, you’re in the wrong place.

And hey, if you're looking for potential customers who won't do their due diligence and just buy ridiculously overpriced models (or "real collectors", as you seem to call them), you're also in the wrong place

Look,
If there’s ever a concern about pricing, we’re always open to discussions—just reach out directly, and we’ll see what we can do. At the end of the day, we’re here for real collectors who appreciate quality, not just the lowest number on the price tag.

No hard feelings—just business.

 

[5townsmodels&collectibles]

We are currently re-evaluating the prices listed on our website for all diecast model airplanes. As part of our commitment to providing fair and competitive pricing, we have brought in new appraisers to assess the value of our older models.

Our goal is to ensure that every customer receives honest pricing and excellent service. We appreciate your patience and support as we work through this process and remain dedicated to delivering the best possible experience.

Thank you for being part of our community. Stay tuned for updates!
