Hey Corey,
You bring up some good points.
Firstly it takes time to pull these things out and post the pics. Secondly it takes some time to pack them up and ship them out.
I have been selling on e-bay for years . It would probably be safe to say that if I would have posted these offerings on e-bay I would have gotten a lot more money for them.
Regardless of the e-bay/paypal fees.
I waited a week to post em and if given a 5 day auction they would have sold faster as well.
Obviously I did not do it for the money . I just wanted to move them and give a good chance for guys to fill there missing pieces.
It has been established that others want to do this and I am sure when P-51 sorts this out there would be more guys who may want to do this.
But this forum may reach 100 guys max. E-BAY REACHES MILLIONS.
This was a first for this forum hopefully not the last.
I would hope that there is no favoritism and I am sure there is not as far as me doing this.
The cold hard truth is I have probably hundreds of planes and tanks in all kinds of condition.
It got to the point were I have so much stuff that I had paths going through my studio.
Classic signs of hoarding. So a week ago I decided to take care of the situation and give this stuff a new home.
That is it plain and simple.
So if everyone is in I plan to do another auction next week and that could be it for a while.
Like I said it takes serious time to retrieve these, clean them up ,take pics then post them up .Then after they sell ( hopefully ) to pack them up and ship them up.
You and me have been trading a while and hopefully will continue.
Hopefully next Sunday ( or maybe Sunday after next ) you will see something that you want to bid on.
