Remember that post yesterday? Among the discussion I mentioned "Marktplaats". Like a Dutch craigslist, but with less freaky sh*t...
Well, last night I was browsing it on the couch while me and the missus were binging something on Netflix...
Me; "Damn, that's nice. Wonder if he's serious about his asking price..."
SWMBO; "Hmmm? What are you on about?"
Me; "Some guy offering a Heng Long/Torro Leopard with all metal and steel upgrade running gear and upgraded "Red" engines... And his price is silly low..." *Goes to Google "Torro" and "Red engines upgrade"* "Uhm... like seriously silly low... I mean, no IR, but 2.4Ghz... I could swap the radio with the 7.0 set from the Panzer IV, since I got a 6.0S waiting to go into that one..."
SWMBO; "Well, place a bid. But only one... If you get over-bid, you stop. Okay?"
Me; "Uhm... sure..?" *places the opening bid of 175 euros*
10 minutes(!) later (and mind you, this was around 11 at night...) my phone pings. Message from the seller; "Hey, that bid's fine. Can you pick it up tomorrow?"
So yeah... I now own a Leopard 2A6... it's in mint condition, runs very nicely. everything works... the guy did his own decals copying the markings of a Leo 2A6 in the Dutch National Military Museum...
She told me to bid on it, honest!

I normally find if something like this happens with my Mrs then it means she wants something that's probably twice as expensive and was waiting for the best opportunity to tell me lolmidlife306 wrote:Hehehe, looks like your Mrs is a keeper

Marktplaats can be great for nice deals!
1:16 was my scale. Until 'Konan' came into my life... an Armortek 1:6 Tiger 1!

I'm a happy man.
