This particular car was purchased in Saudi Arabia during my customers military duty over there, so this may not even be a model that was introduced to the USA, or it could be a variation of that model. This adds to the rarity.

This car is brand new in the box with the radio control unit. This has been one of the best and most successful stunt cars that Tyco RC has ever put out and is definitely a collectible. Produced in 1997 and never actually used a single time. This will just continue to rise and value every year.

There is a separate purchase required not included in this package, but available probably on eBay or through tyco directly and that is the 6.0 V jet turbo battery pack and charger system. I will take a photo of that and upload a photo of their instructions For purchasing this battery and only using their recommended batteries. This car is covered by warranty, which is probably no longer good since it’s from 1997, but they void the warranty if you use a different battery than their brand. Supposedly this is very important for this car if you actually choose to use it and not just keep it in the box as a valuable collectible.

The box does have some scuffs and is not in perfect condition. Some corners are scuffed, and some tape has been peeled off, but this is still a very, very rare car in the box, and the red model is the most coveted and rare model of them all. I doubt there is a single other one of these cars new in the box on eBay because they are extremely collectible and sought after the 6.0 V jet turbo with nine radio control functions was the hottest thing on the market in 1997. Nobody had Tyco beat on this and it still remains highly sought after.

We are currently listing a huge giant collection of antique vintage toys, ranging everything from Power Rangers to ninja turtles and G.I. Joe.

Probably 50% of our sales are from repeat customers because when you find a eBay seller that you can trust and that is reliable, you tend to want to keep doing business with that seller. We have a perfect reputation and customer service is our number one goal. I provide customers with my cell phone number and they can even text me With any issues or compliments anytime throughout the day and I will respond back fast. I take eBay very seriously.

We do not make money off of shipping. We roughly estimate the size of box that your package will need to be put in to be packaged safely and many times double boxed, we will then input those measurements and that weight into eBay shipping calculator and many times the eBay shipping calculator is off by big amounts. Whenever we find packages that are more than three or four dollars off we always reimburse the customers immediately the extra shipping money. Nobody has ever asked us to, but we do not believe in price gouging people, or trying to make money off of our shipping and it always makes customers happy to receive a refund for shipping that wasn’t needed. Don’t expect this from every eBay person because most eBay people do not operate this way most eBay people make a fortune off of shipping and want to keep it that way, but our conscience will not allow us to do this.

We are some of the most careful shippers on eBay and depending on how delicate the item is sometimes we will double package the item using rolls of bubble wrap and heavy duty brand, new Home Depot, or Walmart boxes we do not use recycled boxes on anything. All of our shipping materials are new. Depending on the delicacy of the item sometimes we definitely recommend FedEx door delivery because they seem to be much more gentle on the packages, but we still prepare them as if they are going to battle. Nobody packages as carefully as us, and we will swear by that.

We are very very careful to describe any defects in any any items, and go to great lengths to find any defects, whether it even be a tiny scratch or just a blemish in the paint. We believe in 100% transparency and that’s why we don’t get returns.

We ship the same day as payment if possible, and we drop off all of our packages at the US PAC and ship office in Stuart Florida. FedEx, USPS and all of the other carriers come to this location to pick up the package. USPS frequently forgets to scan in packages , so don’t panic if your tracking doesn’t show movement because we never lose packages. they are simply underpaid government employees and they are prone to frequently make mistakes. However, we definitely recommend using FedEx door delivery whenever possible. You do have the option to choose whatever type of shipping you would like to use but sometimes we will even upgrade people for free, just because we want the peace of mind knowing that that delicate and rare item is going to have better care with FedEx.

Please make use of making us offers. We would rather close the auction early then wait the full 10 days so if you make us a reasonable offer, we are more than likely to accept it. The minimum offer on this particular vintage boat is $125 and we will consider anything higher than that but nothing lower. If you really want this for your collection and you don’t want to lose it to a fellow bidder or end up having to pay $600 in auction it’s a very wise opportunity to guarantee your success at winning the auction. We will view the amount of watchers and if there is an incredible amount of watchers and a very high demand we may counter offer you a higher amount, or we may choose to just wait and see what the auction brings but making offers is the most intelligent way to utilize eBay.

$175 is the absolute lowest offer that we would ever consider but we are going to be looking for a lot higher offers if you want to win and us to close this auction. You’re not going to find another “Red Tantrum Turbo” on eBay new in the package. This has a very high collectible value.
