I pm'd aferguson and cleared this first to post here.
Normally this would get posted in the "classifieds" this one should be of GREAT intrest here.
I was looking on ebay and found 1:18 scale Jeeps an appear to be by Gate. These are the diecast Jeeps, not plastic. $4.99 buy now- no shipping.
This is NOT my auction nor do I know this person.
I thought the gang might like to know.

Yes Dear, I know you said no more planes, But this one is special!

They are very nice and to scale. If this is not a sick hoax it's a great deal.

I recently e-mailed the seller and his reply was the company he works for bought too many for Xmas sales and now he has to liquidate them from the warehouse. The jeeps are manufactured by Gate. So grab your $5 and get yourself a good supply of jeeps!

If someone who ordered receives their jeep(s) could you kindly post your comments about the item? Many Thanks.

They are cool. I think one of our board members bought 19 of them so there may be extras for those who missed out

I'm glad I could help out.
Ya wanna hear something really ironic?
I got busy here at work (imagine that), didn't order one, got home (busy with the family) and totaly forgot about it
I guess I get a commendation and the booby prize at once

Yes Dear, I know you said no more planes, But this one is special!

I was wondering if anyone on the West Coast that ordered some of these Jeeps got them or received notice of shipment? I asked seller but received no reply.
Thanks
