WM in Bellingham, WA has six in tan color. I did not get one as I would rather have one in OD green to be used as a Nam vehicle. They also had four Gray Tigers and four 190's with a spattering of Cold Steel stuff.

Anyone who is planning to retro the m113 back to vietnam era, I could use a few extra of the combat identification panels. I'll be using them on desert vehicles, so desert is preferable, but they would be easy to paint I guess.
I don't have alot to trade, I have been casting the BBI webgear pouches, and a gijoe anti-tank mine so I have a bunch of those, I also have a spare 50 cal from the BBI desert buggy...

The Georgetown WM had several of the M113's at full price-but no planes at all.

Now M113s are being sighted over a wider area of the country - still nothing on ebay. I want to see a picture of it boxed and any other pictures that might be had!

I have checked 6 WalMarts in Utah, 4 in Utah valley, 2 in the Salt Lake valley. No M113 here.

Hello,

How about some pictures, surely someone must have a dig camera. I am stumped that the M113's have not made it to EBAY. It does not make any sense.

Thanks, BD6

Unfortunately I don't think it looks like that, but it would be nice if it did...

It doesnt look as nice as that but worth buying.

That bites, looks like a deceptive auction then.

digger · Post by **digger** » Sun Oct 31, 2004 6:03 am

It is a deceptive auction because I don't see where he says the item DOESN'T look like the pictures. He probably has stock photos of a smaller scale model that 21C based their's on - likely Tamiya.

bravo5 · Post by **bravo5** » Sun Oct 31, 2004 7:45 am

Digger is right, check out the pics for the tamiya 1/35 model also on ebay.

don · Post by **don** » Sun Oct 31, 2004 3:56 pm

I wrote the seller an email, here is what I said:

"Isn't this a photo of the Tamiya 1/35 US M113A2 APC? I would love to see of photo of the item you are actually selling."

And here is his responce:

"I'ts exactly the same.
Thank You
Mark Miller"

Thats it. No explaination. No picture. Lame. And I agree, it's a very deceptive listing.

digger · Post by **digger** » Sun Oct 31, 2004 4:37 pm

Another member mentioned that seller's a jerk, so no surprise...

flayrah · Post by **flayrah** » Sun Oct 31, 2004 4:51 pm

I say bid to win, then when you receive the item report him to e-bay for fraud because it's not "exactly the same".

Don/Digger:

I have had dealings with that individual in the past. He is abrasive and I don't deal with him now. He rarely answered questions to the fullest. Also, there are a lot of negative feedback about him in his profile.

shorty · Post by **shorty** » Sun Oct 31, 2004 6:06 pm

the figures on the tan version of the M113 are green in uniform and they're not that high quality. they don't sit very well as the uniform's rubber doesn't allow the legs to bend 90°. the equipment hanging on the sides i find to be slighlty too big for 1/18, more like 1/16 scale. the 50 calibre is very generic, it's probably the worse 50 calibre mold so far.

again as mentioned, all the parts can be taken off and with some putty you can easily convert it to a vietnam era apc

digger · Post by **digger** » Sun Oct 31, 2004 6:13 pm

I love the idea of removable equipment as it allows you to easily add your own instead and/or paint the equipment while it's not sitting on your vehicle.

CW4USARMY · Post by **CW4USARMY** » Sun Oct 31, 2004 7:46 pm

Could someone please buy one from Walmart and sell it on ebay so we can finally see a boxed picture!

don · Post by **don** » Sun Oct 31, 2004 8:43 pm

What an ass. I'll have to put him on my do no business with list.
I wrote him a second email, this time I said:

"I have seen pictures of the 1:18 scale M113 APC at http://69.93.119.2/photo/1/showphoto.ph ... 823&page=1
It is not "exactly the same." The scale, obviously, is different, the figures it comes with are different, paint job is different, the markings are different, the strap on accessories are different and they are painted different. You are showing a photo of a Tamiya 1/35 US M113A2 APC. While I don't question the authenticity of your auction, I would love to see photos of the actual item you are selling."

And his responce was:

"Then you don't need anything more from me."

Like I said, what an ass.

Sellers like him should be banned on Ebay!
They give the rest of us who sell XD on Ebay a bad name.
Anybody here that has seen these in WM or has purchased any.
Please put one up for sale on Ebay and out do this dude at his own game!
