I have to make some space for it. Probably in my room. I have a four cats and I think it would go over really well with them. Meaning it would end up on the floor in pieces within 24 hours...lol

Doing a search of past sales on ebay , the lowest recent sale was $1195 on Sept 30th . Average for the past week or so is around $1300. All of the sales I looked at used old pictures. There is one listing with new pictures showing the stand - not highlighting the plugs so much - for $1700. You auction ends in a hours, so it will be interesting to see if $1425 holds.
There may be a few suprised buyers! At least we know what we're getting.

I doubt it. It's pretty much the same. Except for the stand.
And the seams, and the screw covers.

And the other options that can be had at this point for $1475 are?
Though I suspect the outlet store will still sell them for $600. Once that supply starts, it will probably be a year or so before the prices are this high again. But hey, good on the seller.. even with e-bay's take, the seller got the one he kept for free. Free is a good price for this model isn't it?
This is true. But there are no close ups of the ship in which case the screw holes and seams are barely if at all visible. Plus there is no promise of seam or plug holes being bondo'ed. That was for the crowdfund advertisment. Reselling these you do not have to make mention of that.

The only thing wrong with the picture as stated is the stand ! Hope the buyer doesn't mind a very obtrusive stand !
Screen grab of actual ship from a YouTube vid... Send them a picture like that and make mention a saucer support is needed from time to time and you are good to go...

The screw covers are there in the picture, but you wouldn't notice them if you weren't looking for them. I thought about selling on eBay but thought it would be too much hassle.

I'd be leery of that needed "From time to time " Saw a previous post where someone has one and temporarily removed it indicated it made the ass end light and potential tippy ! Very expensive to have it take dump and damage a very expensive prop !
Yeah. It's always a hassle selling stuff. But no mention has to be made of seams and plug holes. All they have to do is zoom in. I would definitely mention it is all pure diecast and the benefits and uniqueness of the piece. I would also send a lighted pic in the dark also and probably close ups of the bridge and Hangar bay.
Well then merely say In the description that the saucer stand can be removed from time to time to enjoy it without obstruction. But I think these will be very easy sells for people.

That's great!
I'm tempted to get some and put them outside fixing the seams like it is in spacedock.

oh that is an awesome idea..now we need a 3d printed space dock that also serves as a stand..maybe a clear rod extending from the back to support the ship at key points, as well as the shuttles and work crews
