@fjthomas427 Hi,
There is no additional charge for "handling" or "transactional" fees. Only thing the buyer is responsible for is shipping, which varies depending where the winner is located... :)
It is noted that additional to the bid price are adders such as handling, shipping and 'transactional'. Please provide an estimate of those fee's.....either in absolute U.S. Dollars or as a percentage of the final bid price. Thank you

@DolceClassico: Thanks for the info. It would certainly add to the value to know the artisan who created this, but it sounds like you have all of the information presented herein. Your grandfather must have been quite a character!
@ronn356 Hi all,
Thank you for your most recent bids. My grandfather was a collector of all Italian automobilia and the time has come to find these pieces a new home. He travelled every year to Italy for Ferragosto (2 week vacation at the end of August in Italy) and often came back with vintage Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Bugatti pieces to add to his collection. As for the packaging, it has been untouched since he brought it back from Italy (in a cardboard box, wrapped in a protective film) and only put it on display for a short amount of time. I am uncertain of who created it, but he was a lover of the fine arts and was well connected with Italian artisans and told me it was handmade from real wood and metal trimmings. Hope that helps! Grazie e buona fortuna!
Who created this model? Are you able to add a photo of the model's box?
