AH-1 Huey Cobra Widowmaker
Dec 14, 2015 10:14:20 #
I have aquired a brand new boxed AH-1 Huey Cobra Widowmaker by Franklin Mint. Includes a certificate of authenticity. It is hand painted in fantastic detail. 1-48 scale. I am trying to find a value for it but there is not another one anywhere online either here in the UK or America so I was wondering if anybody had any ideas of its worth. I can post some pics if anyone is interested. Many thanks

Although people ask a lot for franklin mint stuff it sells very cheap after the first sucker buys something from them. E bay has one for $179 and no bids

The Franklin Mint has nothing to do with the US Mint. The stuff they make is cheap and has NO collector value. The only value it has is what someone else is willing to pay for it ... which is usually a lot less than you paid for it.
Another one I saw on TV the other night was a "Mint" selling solid gold buffalo coins. They have no monetary trade value as they were not minted by the US Mint and are not legal tender. The only value they have is in gold that they were made from.

Seems to me these models are something like art;they are worth what some sucker is willing to pay.
