Rob Fairweather 1 Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Well, this one comes in the unbelievable category. Its a nice flyer normally, even painted up as a pseudo German one. But £950 ?????????? this particular seller always overprices his items, but this is a record even for him ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Cotsford Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I've seen a few listed by antique shops at £300-400 but that does take the biscuit. In fact it takes the complete packet, the plate, tablecloth and table too! Is it on ebay now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Gorham_ Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I know which model it is. I'm sure its red and white with German WW1 crosses. Its been listed on and off for a few years with no takers strangely... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Marsh Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 It's sold by an auction house - no surprise there then, they live a world of their own and see unicorns flying everyday... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Gorham_ Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I think it first went on at 850 squids. Seems like the obvious thing to do when it never sells is to make it more expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Marsh Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I bought one a few years ago from the Nats, with a OS 52FS engine and 617 futaba rx for £80, also bought at the same time from the same seller a L4 cub, again with rx and SC 52FS engine, basically both bind n' fly. Bring back the Swapmeets.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Fairweather 1 Posted April 30, 2020 Author Share Posted April 30, 2020 Yes eBay. Just remember you give a percentage to them after the sale, and a further percentage to PayPal if your buyer uses it to pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Marsh Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I've bought much stuff of ebay before for a good price, just keep looking and one day will be lucky. the best deal was this a few years ago, all for £100...! 4 models, new radio, extra rx's 8 of them, batteries, chargers loads of servos, bits, mags z bend pliers,case, etc, etc...

G-JIMG Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I have an unopened kit, plus all the extras, wheels, guns, pilot, etc., and the fabric covering, all completely untouched. Anyone want to buy it all, only £1,500 !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Harris - Moderator Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 No link on the OP so I had a look to see what it was like - couldn't find it but I did find a red German "biplane" with a little bonus!

Peter Miller Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I flagged up that one a few months ago. It is STILL on my watch list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Colbourne Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Another Puppeteer on ebay. It'll be interesting to see what this one gets. Shame about the small roundels on the wings, but that could be put right. Flair Puppeteer with ASP40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Colbourne Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 (edited) Since there are evidently people still after Puppeteers, here's an unfinished on one near Swansea at a not so stratospheric price; Fifty quid (ono) to be exact: Flair Puppeteer Edited April 15, 2021 by Robin Colbourne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
