XD Kettenkrad....??

Post by ostketten » Sat Mar 29, 2008 7:51 pm

I don't think 21C ever made a 1:18 Kettenkrad did they...?? This looks way too big for XD, I think it must be 1:6.... :?:

I sent an email to the seller telling him that he had a 1/6 item not 1/18.

Probably a sales trick. Lure in a buyer thinking the item is 1:18 scale and they get a surprise when big 1:6 vehicle shows up on their doorstep :wink:

If his buyer pays with paypal he could be in for a big surprise, this definitely comes under the heading of a "SNAD" (Significantly Not As Described) item. :roll: It'll be interesting to see if he responds to Razor's email, and what he has to say about it.

That's a little harsh don't you think? Considering he has 100% feedback it's probably just a typo just like the 1/8 in the item title.

Yep, apparently he got Razor's e-mail. :wink: Anyway, I don't think this guy sells many models and possibly just didn't know what he had. Presumably the scale is printed somewhere on the box, and upon closer inspection he realized his mistake and corrected it.

That IS harsh. The guy made a mistake and corrected it. The buy it now price is a fantastic buy for 1/6th!

It's worth the price and his feedback is 100%.

I was about to say he corrected his mistake quickly - was probably cutting and pasting from previous listings. I did that once and it huty me. I had free shipping at the bottom but a shipping price in the box - ended up shipping for free - not for me of course.
