Eko Ford Consol - 1/87 Scale

Make

Eko

Operator/Range

Ford Consol

Model Number

Condition

Not boxed.  Anyone who knows Eko understands the quality of these models isn't quite the same as the main German manufacturers. They are cute, a little flimsy but have a certain charm. Can pass as an Anglia.

Regarding price

Long time customers may have noticed a sharp increase in item prices. For the sake of transparency, let me explain:

I obtain most of my goods from overseas, Europe mostly. Due to the inexorable devaluation of the rand into junk status, goods whose price has remained relatively static overseas have near doubled in terms of cost to land here. This is not just a direct per item cost, but includes postage which has near double in cost since COVID (funny that it went up but COVID is gone and it hasn't come back down), customs and even bank charges. All are affected as they get charged on a rand value. i.e. Because the model cost me more in rand terms, I get charged more in terms of customs etc.

Then there is BobShop who have changed their shipping policy. Where in the past you bought an item and then postage was added with the buyer and seller determining which method of postage to use, now BobShop has in effect included a portion of postage cost into the listing value.  What this means is that they deduct a portion of postage from the seller.  This all affects cost.
