Peter Miller Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I have asked the seller how he can describe an incomplete 1960s lump of corrosion and rust as "New" The reply should be interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin b Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Posted by kevin b on 18/09/2018 10:22:45: Posted by kevin b on 20/08/2018 19:11:50: Is this some sort of reverse logic ? **LINK** 2 weeks ago advertised at £18.0, postage £3.95. Last week advertised at £20.00, postage £4.95. Now advertised with a start price of £21.00 and postage £5>95. I wonder how long it will be until the penny finally drops ? I thought it had gone quiet with this one. However it looks like he is just building up the excitement !!! **LINK** Well he's done it again ! This week it's £27.00 !!! **LINK** Why don't we all put it on our watch lists ? Who knows how high it will go before he realises it's a wind up ? I've never seen an auction before where the seller is the one who keeps upping the price when it doesn't sell !

Paul Marsh Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 This person is in Cloud Cuckoo Land, wants £500 for a tatty airframe, which may go for £20 in a swapmeet.

Dai Fledermaus Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 It's rare, it's vintage, it's a MDS and it's only £100.00. What's not to like? LINK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Miller Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 The strange thing is that the seller sells a lot of collectable engines at more civilised prices. Not sensible mut a bit more civilised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martin collins 1 Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Hi all, the Magister which is linked on here is mine now, i didn`t pay the original asking price let alone the £500 now being asked The seller has opted to inflate the price by a long way i guess in the hopes that no one will bid on it as it has already gone! I didn`t buy it through ebay, he had an ad running on another site for £100 and i made him an offer (minus the MDS of course!) I am electrifiying it, motor is already installed (Prop Drive 50-50 500kv), battery tray made, just waiting for the 3300 6s pack to be delivered to finish it off. Cowling will be remade with litho plate once i have done a few proving flights on it. I have a thread running elsewhere on this site cataloging the conversion............Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
