Okay eBay experts, here's your challenge!

[Wayne 962]

So, I'm a bit surprised at how difficult this is to find. I'm looking for a Spark 1:18 model of the street version of the Dauer 962. They supposedly made a bunch of these maybe about 9 years ago or so (2012), from what I can tell from Google searches. It's Spark 18S047. Example:

https://www.carmodel.com/spark-model/18s047/1-18/porsche/dauer-962-road-version-1993/52844

It really seems like they produced this, but only made a handful of them. I've been watching all of eBay for about a year now trying to find one, and I figured one would come up by now. But it hasn't. I've also tried the international eBay sites with a Euro VPN to see if I was missing something there. No luck.

Any suggestions or places I'm not looking? Maybe someone knows a secret collector or "model hunter?"

Thanks,

Wayne

Wayne, no 1 18 sized models on UK Ebay but plenty of 1 43 street version models

I started collecting 1 18 but down sized to 1 43 as there is for more availability and my collection was getting way too big

BAM has it in stock for 60 euros (sorry it's the 1:43 model)

Yes, plenty of 1/43 models. The listing on the ebay.ie site is many years old (if you look in the code). Seen that, and already sent a message to that seller asking if he had any.

Yahoo auction in Japan?

[Wayne 962]

I can't read Japanese, so that doesn't work well for me?

Try the chrome browser (google) it will translate the Japanese. Yahoo auctions is like eBay in Japan. And as you know there are a lot of rare collections in Japan.

Wayne,
Check Instragram for the Dauer962 hashtag. There are a few 1:18 scale posts from collectors. might be worth a try to solicit a sale.

Just over $200 in Indonesia?

[Wayne 962]

Wow, that is it! Now I'll have to figure out how to buy it. Indonesia is about as easy to get things from as it is from the Moon!

I figured if anyone could do it...it would be you.
