    John Deere T670i found for 8 cents

    Here's something different for today. A 1/87 scale John Deere 760i from Schuco.

    I've first seen this model a few years ago after attending a toy fair. MSRP was almost 35 bucks and I've already spent enough money at the fair so I've left it behind. Fast forward a few years and I found this gem again, this time at a different store some months ago. It was already marked down twice (from almost 35 to 15 and then to 8). I thought 8 bucks would be a great deal for such a detailed model, so I took it to the register. And guess what - it rang up for a whopping 8 cents. I'm a happy camper!
    The outer cardboard of the box was not in the best condition, but I sure can't complain at such a price.


    I've included a black BMW 5 Series (Herpa, also 1/87 scale) in the last two photos to give a sense of size.

    Enjoy the photos!

          Thanks Zach! I think that was my best score of the decade!

            I've been looking at getting an HO scale combine. With the unloading pipe and header extended, they take up a great deal of space in 1/64. Tomica has offered a few (including a Deere, which I have) in just smaller than N scale, and it's really too small to show much detail.

            Yet, your HO scale Schuco appears to have even more detail than my 1/64 Deere 9760STS. And you got it for little more than SALES TAX on an MBX! You practically stole it! Better than that time I got two $20 pairs of Crescent pliers that were marked down to $5 each for $1.50 total.

              $1.50 for two pairs is a great deal too!
              I can only imagine how big a 1/64 version would be! My 1/87 one already takes up lots of space. I think it displays good next to a 1/64 scale vehicle.

                That has to count as one of the best scores I've seen!
                The image file limits have been reset. Upper limits now are 100,000 when we have some images that exceed 5,000,000. I've set the pixels for no more than 1000 across the longest side, so if you resize to that all should be well. (The limits are larger than what I typically use, and my images turn out just fine, so I know it shouldn't be a problem)

                Thank you for your understanding.

                    Fantastic deal for 8 cents!

                    And I love the detail on this little model - better than the detail on most 1/64 scale counterparts.
                    I collect what I like, and I like what I collect.

                      Agreed, that's the reason why I love to collect 1/87 scale stuff. Lots of details at a very small scale.

                        It's funny about HO (1/87 scale) stuff. It seems to be the best scale for everything ... detail, accessories, etc., (except for maybe price).

                        Originally I jumped from collecting 1/43 scale to 1/64 because of price. Slowly the variety of 1/64 grew and the prices of detailed models increased to match what I was paying for 1/43 scale. I'm constantly wishing for more diorama material for 1/64 and it seems we are slowly getting more, but I don't think it will ever match the selection of 1/87 scale.

                        I do have a few Japanese HO cars and buses, but Japan isn't so much into HO as it is N. I have a lot of Tomytec N gauge! By the way, the Japanese train gauges are actually a slightly different scale than American or European counterparts - HO is 1/80 and N is 1/150. Currently I have enough N gauge to build an entire town if I ever get around to it. I guess I'm lucky there isn't more Japanese HO gauge material available.
                        I collect what I like, and I like what I collect.

                          Yeah, unfortunately the price of 1/87 scale stuff isn't that small. I often try to buy those models when they're marked down or I'll try to get a good deal at toy fairs. Still, I often find myself paying around 15 bucks for a single model. My most expensive H0 model (truck with box trailer) was almost $70.
                          You're completely right. The selection is endless. So much great H0 stuff out there.

                          I was never into 1/43 or bigger scales. Always collected 1/64 and started my H0 collection at a very young age. I also used to spent a lot of time with my 1/10 scale R/C cars and my 1/14 R/C trucks, but had to stop due to lack of time.

                          I've seen some of your N scale models in your finds thread - very nice stuff. I have a small N gauge train layout in my basement. I'm including some photos of it.
