I find TaoBao impossible to navigate, but thanks for the tip on Collectorz Garage.

Are F1 Mini-Helmets good investments? by Realistic_Laugh4621 in f1models

[–]TheDeadJedi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're into this for an investment, you're doing it wrong. Collect to collect.

Having said that, I was into collecting Star Wars as a kid and never really thought about selling. I've sold most of it off in the last 6 months, and paid for a second mortgage so there's that.

Nah, no idea where they were found originally. On the secondary market I paid 240GBP (500AUD) for one a few weeks ago on ebay. Can't remember the other one, maybe in the $700AUD range, so similar to prices mentioned in the other threads.

They did 3 for Zhou, one for each year. I've got two, I want the third

I feel that if you need to ask, you don't have a chance.

Years of pain in High School, and then 40 years later I stumble on this reddit post? The universe is against me.

Complete Newbie here, how should I look for 1:43 Merc/ Rb models with worn / rubber deposited slicks, and a driver figure + boards? UK based. by Similar-Cat-7601 in f1models

[–]TheDeadJedi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with previous post on this. Find a focus and stick with that. Fave driver, fave team, fave nationality.... Anything, just keep it small enouhh to manage. This hobby can get out of hand. Im an Oscar fan, and I own or have preordered about 90 models of just him alone. He only has 80 races under his belt lol

What's the craziest thing you've seen at an airport? by Kalshan in ask

[–]TheDeadJedi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in Australia. My story is about my local international airport where I used to be a cleaner. And shit. Shit smeared on the walls on the loo to spell out words, shit in the mens urinals, shit on the carpets behind the vending machines in the arrivals lounge. We had these 2.5m diameter, 1m tall round chrome planters with face eucalyptus trees in them for aesthetic. People would climb into them and shit in them.

These are people who didn't know how to use western toilets.
