Robert Cracknell Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) Sorry guys, couldn't figure out how to insert a link. Look at EBay item number 403475447844 Edited February 16, 2022 by Martin Harris - Moderator Added link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Stephenson Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Just go to the ebay site and search for this item number and click on " tell us what you think" I did and I'm sure Jon did too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Harris - Moderator Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 It’s a thing of beauty - but what a crazy asking price for something designed to be used in a model - and reproduced at a fraction of the cost should Jon’s boss ever feel inclined.

Brian Cooper Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 It's amazing how creative and eccentric some people can become when their engine simply needs a new glow plug, eh. . ? An eccentric price too. . . Just bonkers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul De Tourtoulon Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) It has already been posted, a greedy professional, we should all contact the seller together and offer him 1/10th of the price as 'maybe' he put the decimal point in the wrong place,,, Ps if he is so confident that it's worth that why doesn't he put it up for auction starting at a couple of hundred pounds,,, Edited February 16, 2022 by Paul De Tourtoulon Auction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel R Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Auction doesn't run long enough. Slowly, slowly, catchy overspending monkey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EarlyBird Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 It's been done before. Please don't open that can of worms again, just read it and move on. Steve 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin b Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I agree with Steve. Why do people complain that things are "too expensive". I can understand commenting, but to actually complain is stupid. I have just had a belly full on ebay from people complaining I was asking too much for some kits I was selling. My stock answer was that I don't have to sell them but if I did, that was my price. If somebody else values it the same then fine. As far as dealers are concerned, that is their job and (usually) they know their market. Putting a ridiculous price on something may draw out a seriously interested buyer, with whom they will then strike a deal (probably off ebay). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine also and I made clear the price was not negotiable. I was perfectly happy for them to go moan and groan elsewhere.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Harris - Moderator Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 It’s such a shame that the engine will never take to the air and will remain an “investment” until enough of us have slipped the surly bonds of earth and it becomes just a curio or is simply left to rot, forgotten in the back of a drawer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the poetry. But are these things any good, why didn’t they get a continued production run etc. Surely a lot of us have had a coil long enough to shuffle off to remember how to use a diesel motor.

That's the problem with nostalgia. It's not what it used to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
