PS..just posted in trains....

If I were there... I'd probably be in the same thought process...for me it's the Sherman... I don't really need any of the rest....so it would be a waste of funds
But it's fun to watch isn't it ...OH...saw your post ..replied

Air fair to York might preclude you somewhat....

OBVIOUSLY TOM ....though I could push if I wanted to

But nah... I like watching stuff like this ...hope it's a fair bid ...winner gets all ...change channel bye bye

Have to admit ...when it comes to RC tanks .... you Brits have some great auction listings...EBAY US is kind of boring ...you almost never see anything like this
Though I do remember one last winter.... 5 Heng Long Pro Model Tanks for 500 all in top shape ..working order ...buy it now... here was the kicker... pick up only ...somewhere in New York
Wonder if the two are related somehow

I agree, we get the same overpriced crap relisted on a constant basis here. I turn on the euro listings to see the good stuff. I did pass on a once in a lifetime listing over a year ago that had 5 or 6 leopards and Gepards in the boxes for $550 buy it now. I will forever kick my own ass for that momentary lapse of reason!

What impresses me about the listings on EBAY UK ....is there are a lot more private sellers ...US are mostly pro vendors... not a bad thing...but it would be nice to have some variety at times like you all have

I don't think I ever really regretted letting something go...especially if the price went ridiculously high...that was when I was green there...and got into bidding wars...even now... not much regret... as I'll watch something see where it goes...then jump in if it's within reason...if the item reaches a "value" mark I've set in my mind...I pass ...mostly because I know it will come around again ...in one form or another

The exception to that rule would be if something is pretty rare

THere are some good items on Ebay.co.uk right now, a King Tiger kit for £349, a Jagdpanther for £175, Panzer IV for £113 (don't bid on that, I want it ), a HL Tiger and T34 for £80. Even a Bandai 1:15 Panzer IV (bid on that, I definitely dont want it)

Yer Billpe. I've seen the Panther and the Panzer IV kits...reason them two are cheap is because he forgot to put Tamiya in the title...I would of had both of them, I've spent to much lately...so hope you get the P,IV......

MAN 21hrs and counting.... anyone got their sniper fingers ready

Hey Jake...at least you got things to spend on there...here nothing...samo samo...seems all the deals are in trains right now ...the prices have dropped drastically ...though there isn't that many items that are rare....like some of the old porthole cabooses ...no matters on those though...have them all already ...but it's still fun to browse

ALPHA

Yer Alpha I often have a look at the US site, your right not much private selling just companies....
