Hi just to prove to everybody that I am not a wheeler dealer these are my tanks as seen on the for sale forum the 2 shermans on the middle shelf are the 2 new heng longs for sale. The pershing on the top row is the tamiya for sale and the HL pershing on the bottom shelf is the one without electrics.

The others are my Mato israeli sherman, Heng long sherman which is to be used in d-day displays next year as you dont want an expensive tamiya falling off a landing craft in to a saltwater lake. The Tamiya sherman is an original one with clutch gearbox which I am currently restoring. I am also getting a Tamiya Sherman from a friend to add to this.

Anyway now thats sorted back to tanking we go.

In common with a lot of other viewers I wonder how much profit the ever boastful Mr Brewer would make if Mr China's labour charges were included in the price of the motor vehicles they sell? ??? ??? ??? shaun

Michael They front a DISCOVERY channel programme in the UK titled Wheeler Dealers, Mr Brewer buys clapped out cars and Mr China fixes them, after which Mr Brewer sells them for a profit, but Mr China's labour charges are not included in the sale price, If I were a car dealer I should be most annoyed at what is a most underhand method of doing business. Yes I know it is just a TV show and I still dislike the deceit. :thumbdown: shaun

People who buy build and sell their tanks aren't doing anything wrong at all! They enjoy building them but lets face facts theirs only so much room for these things so why not sell them to people who either can't or don't have the skills to build them?

The only thing that gets on my nerves is those guys who put a tank up for sale and then a week or so later change their minds and suddenly its no longer for sale. Not cool guys, NOT cool at all. :thumbdown:
