I have a Caterpillar 621R from Arepra (Brazilian manufacturer) for sale. But does anybody here know what it's worth? I think they are pretty rare, but I might be misstaken. Here are some photo's. Model is as good as new with original packaging.

Thanks! Highest price was $ 170 USD, but my box is in much better shape. Didn't know it was that rare. BTW, if anybody's interested, I've also got a couple old NZG scrapers for sale. 3x Cat 621 1x Cat 615 elevator 2x Cat 627 Pushpull (one with the old Pacman logo and really old yellow)

I would say it's about 300 dollars, If someone offered you 275 dollars, I would take that too. I think that is a reasonable price regarding it's condition or rarity. Arpra Supermini models are pretty cool, I am proud to have one their dynapac sheepsfoot roller in my collection

Well, if anybody would offer me $ 250 to $ 275 (including shipping from The Netherlands to the US) that would be just fine. But I had no idea they were that rare. I might have to keep it myself for a while...

Personally I would not pay that much, keep In mind the high value scraper market tanked when Norscot came out with the 657g, and I would project it will only get worse when the CCM 631's/637's hit. I picked myself up one of these Arpra 621's mint in box with a custom ROPS at a train show a few years back, just after the 657's came out for $75.00.

(roughly translated as "What the crazy will pay for it"), I don't know if there's a comparable English saying like it. But all things considered, It wouldn't feel right to ask something that high for the model. I don't know what I payed for it myself (I've had it for quite a few years now), but it was nowhere in the region of $ 250 USD, a total price of about $ 200 including shipping to the US would be just fine by me. I'll even take a lower price. I'll sell my models because I don't have room for them anymore or to save up some cash for other things. Not to make a huge profit.

Dear Remko, good morning!
Your model is on fantastic shape! Nice to see a old model in this amazing condition. The ARPRA stopped to produced this model in like yours in 1992.
Here in Brazil it's hard to find in this shape. Here you can buy one like your as $200-USD$250.00.
However, I would spend around another $40.00 to send outside. In this case I think you can ask $250.00 or more. It is a good price.
Felipe
