I still have the Cobra and Japanese soldiers available. If anyone is interested drop me a line and make me an offer. I will be taking some time off from eBay till I calm down from my bad experience. :x

Just curious, but how did you get the main rotor off that thing to put it back in it's box?? Good luck with your auction, I'm sure you'll do well with it, I sold several about 6 months ago and they went like hotcakes for about $75 ea.

Toyktdlgh,
Those are some AWESOME pics of the 2 planes and the Japanese figs.
That flight deck really gives the planes a good look.
Good luck on the auctions - make a mint!

I didn’t have a problem taking it apart. I have another one that I got off of a board member here that did have a broken rotor. I'm keeping that one for my display and selling my good one. :wink:

Yea, someone couldn’t read the little paragraph highlighted in red about not shipping outside the Continental U.S.
All it takes is one bad apple to ruin the whole lot.
Tha Cobra is still up and so are the S-1 figs.

Well, I’m done with eBay. I had a Hot Wheels auction up and apparently I violated one of the thousands of rules placed on sellers. Instead of an email from a customer service rep saying what the issue was and trying to help me resolve it they cancelled my auction and trashed it. I can’t find it anywhere to fix the issue if I wanted to. Obviously someone was upset about something and instead of asking me about it they turned me in. I have cancelled all my auctions and paid all my fees up to date. I have always heard that eBay is all about the buyer but now I know that’s true from a first hand experience. Anyone still interested in the Cobra or Japanese figures can make me an offer here. Sorry for any inconvenience but I refuse to do business with people who treat you like a criminal for an honest mistake.

Toyktdlgh,
I have had the same thing happen to me on my Tender Terror auction.
Instead of someone coming to me and asking me to change something, which I could if it bothered somebody. They went to Ebay and my auction was cancelled.
It stinks! :evil:
Understand the feeling of being stepped on by Ebay you must be feeling.

Yea, I probably jumped the gun by getting all pissed off about it but I had nearly 60 thumbnail images in that auction. It took me 5 hrs to put them all up and get it working. I realize I made an error but come on! There is absolutely no reason to treat people like that.

EBAY is like WM on the net. You sort of despise the way they do things but, can't do without them since they have a lot of impact on the XD market.

I know... it’s a real killer. I was really hoping to thin out some of my toys but not sure if I will now. I got a nice apology from them though. I think after I cool off a bit I may try it again. It was just the tone of the whole thing. Made me feel like a crook. I let them know I was pissed about it and that a simple warning would have solved the whole thing. Still, I’m a little fish in a big pond. :roll:

I'm sorry to learn about this Kevin ,.. that really sucks ! ... :twisted:

You have every right to be pissed , and deservedly right so too. ... Anybody would be. :x

"I would try it again at some point". :wink:
