Just spotted this...anyone on here?

Opportunity to purchase Heng Long Pershing with metal tracks and gearboxes plus twin esc's...except the metal tracks aren't included because they are the wrong ones,  and the esc's aren't included...oh, and the gearboxes haven't arrived yet....and err, and the electronics don't work. £140? Bargain.  ???

Being a seller on ebay you will always get the plonkers selling crap and plonkers buying it.
Its the way of the world, its like buying antiques you have to know what you are looking at, a1750s table or a repro made last year.
Thankfully there are more shrewd buyers out there who always check a sellers reputation before bidding. Its the same as getting trades men in always check them out first someone will always try and rip you off sometime.
Ebay isnt bad its just upto the potential buyer to be shrewd and check the items first, remember a bargain is only a bargain for a reason. ASk as many questions as you can if you get no answer or the wrong answer walk away.

thankyou now ends my sermon on ebay...

That faulty Pershing went for £29.... not quite the £140 he was hoping for but still over priced really.

If it was not for Ebay i would not have half the stuff i do including my Tamiya Sherman which was £249 inc shipping from Hong Kong (new in box) ;D  I also collect American Muscle diecast cars which in the UK you have very little choice, but i now have some very rare and very hard to find models thanks to Ebay sellers in the U.S and Canada, its all about common sense and looking at who you buy from and reserch how much the stuff costs in other places other than Ebay for comparison, the scum who want stupid amounts of money and charge ridiculous p&p for there items keep us entertained why we sit back and watch idiots bid on them ::)

Thanks Keith  ;D ;)
