Post by Jnewboy » Mon Jan 10, 2011 1:27 pm

I listed a new custom on eBay yesterday.

What do you think?

I wish I could offer it cheaper, but you know ebay takes 9% for a "final value fee" if it sells, on top of that Paypal takes around 5% to transfer the money, Ebay takes a further $5 for the listing fee.... I cant find another source for BBi 109s.... Many hours of work.... It all adds up and up

Tell me about it. I just paid $175 in ebay fees. That's not counting the paypal gouge too. I feel yer pain. i'm about to take a break from those a** holes.

Thought about trying the 21st 109's? Though they're just about as pricey, you wouldn't have to do the gun humps.

Nice work nonetheless.

Pretty unique scheme, and well painted by you.

Only gripe is with the price, but I understand that you want to get a fair price for what you have put into it. :wink:

It will be interesting to see if you get any bids on it.

I think your model is absolutely gorgeous and if I had the money on hand right now I would buy it. I think it's more than a fair price for what it is, and what you've done with it. Good going, beautiful 109.

When you consider that you can't buy a BBI 109 for less than $100.00 nowadays. The price doesn't seem outrageous.

Yeah you can't even buy a 21stC 109G for under $100 either, unless you're lucky. :?

Thanks guys, it did not sell on eBay, but I relisted it on my Etsy for only $300 even, (Etsy does not charge 9% final value fee)

Now go look at my Tiger I, just listed on eBay
