Michael Black Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 If you look at the history of what he has sold the go for £59.99. They put them up at the higher price when they have run out to save ending the add. Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff S Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 To be fair, Michael, I think you may be right. There's lots of stuff on their site at reasonable prices, like spares, batteries, receivers etc for WLToys stuff such as the V911 helis. I just wish they'd remove the advert rather than employ the 'set a ridiculous price' technique to stop people buying. Some ignorant (to RC model prices) people may be fooled and cough up. I wonder if they'd return the money? Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will -0 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I wonder if this chap'd like to buy my midcentury biplane too. Then he'd have a matching pair. **LINK** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you can blame eBay for that. I'm not certain of the exact details, but I'm told eBay's fees are lower if you place an ad and then edit it (make the price ridiculously high) when you're out of stock and then re-edit the price when you get more stock again.

kevin b Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Genuine e-bay "attic find". I'm fact, it's still in the attic ! **LINK** Obviously this one came from the "Dove from above". **LINK** Has anyone noticed it's that time of year again. E-bay prices have suddenly shot up. Wonder if they're linked to HK ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff S Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I'm always suspicious if they can't be bothered to get them out of storage and photograph them properly. I'm not exactly sure what he is selling. I like the 'Vic' Reeves sixth scale Spitfire parts. If they're all there then I wouldn't think £50 was out of the way. Not sure if there's a drawing, though. Funny that the seller didn't actually read the name on the packs. Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roughly translates as, "I crashed it, the blades are now only fit for the bin and the tail boom is now banana-shaped and also only fit for the bin..." But on the plus side, at least he's pointing out the damage rather than trying to hide it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daithi O Buitigh Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I don't think he'll get may bids starting at £1,263.24. What puzzles me though is why it's in German when the line for postage says (in translation) 'Dispatch FROM ENGLAND' (and why in Euros)?

Kevin Wilson Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Perhaps he thinks there are more affluent collectors in Germany that would be willing to pay a premium for a rare item. Interesting postscript to his other items. There are sufficient caveats and references to regulations that would put me off dealing with this chap. Not a lot of trust going on there. Perhaps he has got stung before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Dance 1 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Curious, this seller often has engines for sale on ebay. Where does he get them from? Always exotic high performance motors in unused condition. Clearly not a modeller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
