When I was an active collector of 1:43 F1 diecasts I used to keep a short watchlist of rare Minichamps models to look out for. However you can be lucky sometimes and pickup a bargain online or at clearance sales. As I mentioned in my beginner guide, sale and re-sale diecast prices start with Amalgam and some of the custom hand built Japanese kits at the top end, Exoto and CMC are in the US$200 to US$1000 range, BBR/Tameo/SRC etc are usually in the US$200-US$300, Minichamps range from US$30-US$250. In the resale market for collectors, Minichamps is probably the most common and popular traded brand. The good thing about F1 diecasts for collectors is that most model cars besides looking great in your cabinet or shelf, retain some value and if you’re lucky some might even increase in value over time.
