Snake-

Did you win that auction then? 170 is a screaming deal on that one!

Yes,tko211.
I did win this one. :D

I don't really need another Jolly Rogers,but I was watching the auction out of curiosity.
The bidding was not going as high as I thought it would.
I figured I would put a bid in,and see what happened.
I was surprised to see that I had won it,and for less than my maximum bid.[$200].
I thought that it would have gone for $250 at the very least.

So $177.50 is a great deal. 8)

The seller must be somewhat disappointed though.

Yeah I would be a little upset to let it go for 170.00 Seems like I have seen them go for 300.00+ in the past.

On another note my Zero custom just sold for a lot higher than I would have thought! Crazy. Gotta help pay for my other hobby and right now custom planes are one way to help do it!

Later, my friend!

Snake,

It would have gone for even less if I wouldn't have been the 2nd place bidder right behind you. I too was surprise to see it go for such a LOW price. Hope it shows up in good shape for you.

Thanks compfire.

I went back and checked the bid history.
Without you coming in at the last minute,the next highest bid was only $150. :shock:

That is the reason that I jumped in on a used one in the first place.

I also checked his listing again,as I found it strange it went for so little.

He listed it as "1:18 Jolly Rogers F-18"
No mention of BBI,or Elite Force.Perhaps this caused less potential buyers to find it.
But it is still a decent enough listing.

Anyway,pretty happy with my latest buy. :D

Hopefully it arrives with no issues.

Great deal snake !

OK now guys i will make you cry :cry: a little in 2007 i bought on ebay one of my favorite 1/18 plane ever : the BLUE ANGELS # 3 F/A 18 A for the extraordinary high (at the time!) bid of 99 US $

at the time i thought i was CRAZY to spend so much money on models !

Now i really appreciate the 2 F18 + F16 that i bought in 2005 (Badcat price at the time was 79 US $ !!!!!)

I wish i had bought 10 of theses in 2005 !!!!! the Blue angels was allready rare in 2007 , now it's crazy ! I remember having hesitated for the RED DEVIL HORNET when it came but was wondering where to display it !

Now i am waiting the F 14 ... this is insane hobby :wink:

BUt i really love it :lol:

I remember picking up the Wolfpack F-16 online from Target for $50 :shock:. I tried to buy three of them but only one would show up in my cart. It is possible I bought the last F-16 they had. Now that was an awesome deal.
