well, it all depends on how much they have, facilities, equipment.... stock, future sales... and how much you want it....

Just like my Espace is worth about £1800 but if you really REALLY wanted it... £2300

You can pull their accounts from companies house if they're a UK company, or the relevant organisation for other countries should be able to get a reasonable idea of value, if theyre making a profit, what assets they own etc...Assuming they're a limited company that is.

Kyosho and Tamiya would be substantialy bigger companies than X-Ray i would imagine.

more like £10mil min for XRAY, got to take into account, facilities and product range, sales forecasts etc.... intellectual rights ...... £250,000 is a decent model shop
