From what I've picked up from these guys so far, you've got

Hodgson 2000 (INS no 4)
and a
Reynolds 2000 (Red Bull 47)

there's probably more in there as it looks like a very full collection.

Best review your house insurance

Your best ones are:

Hodgson 2000 (Around £200)
Reynolds 2000 (Around £125)

All the other race bikes are worth somewhere between £40-75. The 2000 Rossi might be worth a touch more.

Thought the Silver Baylis might be a good one
Still wife can't complain about the money I've spent on them if there going up in value

in the local shop

I don't wish to be rude, but how much did you pay? Did they have any more?

[Twinfan]

Should have been £39.99 I guess!

Minichamps make the Ducati Corse boxed ones. It should say Minichamps on the box somewhere if it's one of theirs, and have removeable fairings etc.

Could be a New-Ray model???

Guys, need a bit of advice on the impact on value of damage.

Adam's just been in touch about the Hodgson I sent him and it's been damaged in the post. Obviously he's returning it to me and the cheques ripped up.

Anyway. I'm going to have to file a claim against the Royal Mail, the box was wrapped in bubble wrap (2 layers) and heavy brown paper before being sent Special Delivery, so there's no excuse against poor packaging.

What I need to know is what would be the impact on value of

Scratched seat unit (no pic until I get it back unless Adam posts one)
Broken paddock stand, apparently minor (again no pic)

There's also an issue with the left bar looking like it's been stuck back on! Which I'm concerned happened in the shop before I bought it (returned, repaired, re-sold???)

Anyway, I need some guide as to how much of an impact it would have on the value (%ages would be good)

Thanks in advance guys, and Adam, I'm really sorry you've been let down.

Thankfully I insured it, maybe I should have had those armed guards after all..

Hi,
Claim against the post office(i presume it went special delivery) and use print outs of current Hodgson sales as proof of value.You shouldn't have aproblem.I bought my last one for about £200,so you should get that back.
