Should I Sell This Body Shell?
Hello all,
I'm not sure if I should sell my Tamiya Taisan Porsche Bodyshell, It was hard to come by but it does not fit on my car. On the one hand I want to keep it for its value, on the other I want to use the money to buy a different useful body. What do you think? your opinion will greatly appreceitated.

Yes I have... But it's on ebay now so I dont want to spamming. The only other picture I have is in the box with my other collections.
You can see the porsche in the stack.

Hi Anthoop,
I only have the body set for the Porsche
That's why I want to sell the body... kinda hard to let go~ 
I had a few TA01 and TA02 through the years but currently I'm only down to one TA02. Now I got the RC fever again I'm planning to get a TT01D!

Thank you RCUSEE,
I totally understand what you are saying. However, I'm not a collector but rather a modeler. I enjoy building rather than keep them in the closet (even thought I have alot in the clost lol). I know the Porsche is rare but I figure it would be better in a collector's hand than me actually painting the body LOL. Share the joy!
I thought about retracting the auction but as soon as I post the auction one guy immediately bid on it with many followings.
It would be a nice chunk of change for me towards the TT01D

Ah right....now i'm understasnding.
Yes if your not interested in keeping it/you need the money and your not nostalgic then sell it.I'm sure you'll get a good price.
Personally i'd just paint it up and put it on the shelf....but everyones different.Good luck with it.
