Damn! Makes me glad that mine is hanging in my living room. It might not be MIB, but it is my favorite paint scheme so far on the Stuka, and it's not for sale.

Quickly, cut down all your hanging as well as displayed XD and head for grandadds fallout shelter in the basement- or, if your not independently wealthy, head for Ebay before the bubble burst.

It almost makes ya wonder if you shouldnt grab every 25.00 XD you see
You realize, of course, that the 25.00 leftovers we pass everyday will be RARE-MUST HAVE-ULTRARARE-NO MORE AVAILABLE ANYWHERE in 3 or 4 years.

or just a couple really mean dogs (my approach)... Living in the sticks doesn't hurt either. FIrst they have to FIND your house. And the neighbors don't usually come running at the sound of gun shots, as long as it sounds like 7.62x39 :)

Yeah, thats the worst of it, 530.00 doesnt move me at all to sell- I just expect it all to be there long term like my house, kids, mortgage, car, trees, grass, and for better or worse, my wife.

look at the high bidder both r the same maybe some body won the lottery :?:

it's all the same bidders on all 3 of those auctions. Something smells a bit fishy to me...

And what's with the asterisks in all the bidder id's? Are they supposed to be kept secret or something?

alright, I changed my mind, someone email me the phone number of the saudi or kuwaiti sheik who developed an interest in XD toys and I'll come off the hip- 450.00 for each AC and 350.00 for each vehicle. God help me, I know even that amount of money will spent at some point, but maybe I'll have enough money left over to buy em all back when the market subsides-

I'm gettin' pretty tired of this eviLBay $&it and learning about our own members getting ripped off ! ... :twisted:

Is'nt there something we can do here about these eviLBay shenannigans ? ... I say it's time we band together and let eviLBay know how we feel.

It's a "disturbing trend" indeed ! ... :twisted:

Funny thats the re-release of the S1 Stuka in the Motor Works box. I wonder what mine would go for, assuming I took it apart and put it into the TRU box...

Just put "SUPER RARE!!" in the title and it will go for at least $900. :lol:
