How much is a scrap Harrier really worth? £24k and still the reserve isn’t met. How much is a Harrier worth when you think on that you can go to Everett and buy a Jaguar for £7k.

Yes, there are people to whom 24K is nothing and who would buy it just for a laugh.
However, that can’t really be taken to represent the actual value.
The value of any collectable must be what the collecting community would trade/swap it for.
The question is then: Would the buyer be able to swap a 24K Sea Harrier for another aviation item of a similar value (not by chance, but as a defacto trading standard)?
I did not say it was worth 24k,I said whatever somebody is willing to pay for it,has the reserve been met ??not yet!!

There was a similar thread on here a week or so back about Harrier values,as a couple of us said…as usual it is worth exactly what somebody is prepared to pay for it !!
cheers baz

I would’nt pay no where near that ……. i would have said 10-15k would have been about right 😉

Im pertty surprised to see people bidding £24K for it.
I belive that there is a Sea Harrier in the US, which is going to appear as a civilian AC on the airshow circuit. Maybe for structural spares, this Ebay bird might be worth 24K to someone.
As a purely static display AC, 24K is very high.
