Make

Range/Operator

Deutsche Reichpost

Mercedes Benz 170V Oldtimer Van

Model Number

1509

Condition

Good as new, in Hard Case.

As pictured.  Praliné made great quality models. They no longer exist but many of their moulds were bought and used by Busch. This model arrived with its supporting sponge collapsed as a sticky mess. Model has been lightly brushed clean, a replacement sponge inserted and box generally cleaned up, although there are still sticky traces of sponge.

Regarding price

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

I obtain most of my goods from overseas, Europe mostly. Due to the inexorable devaluation of the rand, 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 greatly increased in cost), customs and even bank charges. All are affected as they get charge on a rand value. i.e. Because the model cost me more in rand terms, I get charged more in terms of customs.

My request is that people stop trying to contact me to arrange bulk deals and so forth. This is contra the platforms rules and also not economically viable for me to further this out an marginal profit I may make.
