Small Scale Military Headquarters

This is just my opinion, but why would anyone want to buy from a dealer who advertises like this:

Well he has a good rating and looks to be a credible seller with a good selection of decently priced items. There are some excellent pictures that really highlight the detail of the product. So I don’t think the seller is pushing a scam. However, the ghetto style of the website plus the tattooed arm (which I thought was deformed in the small picture at the top of the page) seems anachronous to the personal values I associate with the WWII products. Sort of like those men and machines fought and died for this?? I'm sure it appeals to some people though.

That’s just my thought and no offense is intended to anyone on the board.

Well guys, the freedoms that allow us to demand our aircraft be "historically accurate" allow this guy to advertise how he sees fit.
Granted there are some nuances related to his expression being commercial speech, but those are best not explored here....
To each his own I say, and that IS what men fought and died for.

Is that Bruce lee on his forearm ? The plane looks good, alot better then the 21st version.

ok i'm missing something. What exactly is the problem with this auction?

Outside of an overdue visit from the taste police, I don't see what the problem is either.

Is it the Bruce Lee tatt? Is it that he's from Queens? Of course, those of us light years away from Queens have to stick together against those people. I personally wouldn't be caught dead with that hairy arm with those tatts. For myself I shave my arm around my tatt of General Patton's face on my forearm and the crossed Shermans above his head. That's my left arm. My right has Rosie the Rivitor, whoose face is my Mom.

Now thats class.

This post is not made to ofend Centone (a gentleman and a credit to Queens).

I think I see what you mean. Not in the best taste but he does have good pics of the mustang. To each his own.

I see the problem.
He's leaning against the box and he's bending the blister.
Who wants a damaged box?

Easssy, I am a big Bruce Lee fan but sadly lack the courage to get a tattoo myself. I hear it is very painful. I am not condemming the nature of the auction or the individual himself. His feedback is perfect and his tattoo kicks but. I would not have a problem ordering from him. Peace

Well guys, seems that noone wants to buy from the guy. The Auction is for 7 days, with 4 days left, and he has zero bids.

Labeling yourself Krimemasters and the obvious depiction of a hooded thief removing the 51 through a broken window is probably not the best marketing ploy.

The number of bids so far in an auction is not an indication of how he is doing on this item.

Most "smart" eBayers wait until the last 10 minutes before they bid. I've had things "go through the roof" in a bidding war in the last five minites.

A more accurate measure of this guys business is the feedback. Not the comments because most people overstate the transaction so they get good feedback in return, but when you get screwed you retailate the easiest way, by negative feedback. That haunts the guy. How many of us steer away from a transaction with somebody who has alot of bad feedback? I know that the first thing I look at.

Thats what sells these days, just look at the Grammy's etc.

I liked it much better when it was sex that sold.
