I've been in the process of packing to move for what seems like weeks. Actually, I guess it has been. Anyway, as I pack up my diecasts I also have to unpack the storage boxes so I can combine them. I just came across 3 XK's that have been put away since the 1990's I guess. My display cases are full and I have changed my preferences for the cars I buy these days, so I really don't want to re-pack these and take them with me. I'd like to pass them on to other Jag lovers for a paltry $25 apiece. They are all mint in mint boxes and are 1/18 scale. 1998 XKR, an KJ220, and an XK180.

Not to be a downer but outside of the XKR the other two can be bought at Sams Club and Costco before Xmas and Fathers day regularly for $9.99-11.99. The XKR you can normally only find on Ebay and I bought one a few months ago, new, strapped in the box for $20.00. Having owned a retail diecast store for years some diecast cars increase in value while others just remain stagnant and Maisto makes 100,000 of each model for the most part so they never really increase in value. If your pricing them at $25 shipped then they are a fine deal though.

I wasn't aware these are still being sold in retail stores since most of them came on the market in the mid-late 1990's. When I bought mine I scoured multiple stores and some of the big wholesale shows here to get the best ones available. If they are available for $10-15, then I guess that's what I'd take.
Here's what I'm faced with packing up. These are about half the "small" ones (1/18):

Oh, yeah...since I was able to get my hands on a "Silk Cut" LeMans winning XJ9R, I'm selling one of my Castrol #88 Daytona winners (in the pic on the shelf). Apparently, these have been designated as "retired" and the price has been shoved up into unreasonableness. I'm asking $225 while the claimed retail is supposed to be a grotesque $700, and Ebay sellers are asking from $350-500. Again, mint car, mint box.
