Interesting Lot for Sale

Post by lightning2000 » Sat Feb 28, 2009 9:05 am

Hi All,
For anyone looking to pick up some of the harder-to-find 1:32 scale vehicles, you might want to check out this ebay listing:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Forces-of-Valor-big ... otohosting

In it, you'll find a M26 Pershing tank and M3 Grant, among others, which are becoming increasingly more difficult to locate from any source. Good luck if you're bidding and I would imagine the shipping costs are going to be expensive in their own right.

Wow! Too bad I'm broke! I must say though that I really wish people selling expensive items or lots would spend the extra change on the picture pack so potential buyers can enlarge the pics and get a more detailed view of the items.

Also, dealing with an expensive lot like this with a "newbie" seller with only 2 feedbacks would make me a bit nervous.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Add to that my previous problem with the lack of detailed individual pics of the items and I'd say buyer beware.

and most of the time , you don't hear anything back from them ,
or if you do , it's already too late and the auction is OVER ! :?

I'd take a pass. "As is" "pieces missing" No close up pictures.... Forget about it.

Oh man I HATE that!! :evil: :evil: :evil: For instance, some schmuck will put up a $200 HO locomotive and only use the free pic with no editing so you see more of the room than the item and then not even bother to check on his damn auction once or twice a day to see if their are any questions. :evil: :evil:
