Buyer beware

Post by jonger »

Just been on ebay - have you seen what one retailer is asking for 1/16 panthers and jagdpanthers!

He is selling other tanks at reasonable prices but these are way over the top and it seems he has sold some at those prices. :O

oops - sorry those links did not work right, I used the "url" tag but obviously not correctly.

You need to put the end bracket right after url, not after the site's address.

It doesn't say Heng Long in the title so maybe someone's comparing it to a Tamiya and thinks it's a bargin.

Also does Oztruck know they're using one of his videos?

Some of the stuff just seems like a waste of a listing fee to me - the prices are so astronomically crazy.....unless either it is listed on a free listing day, or there are seriously silly people out there!
Tamiya King Tiger (no options)
Taigen Full Metal T34 (winter)
Heng Long Challenger II (European camo')
Tamiya Tiger I full options (still in the box)
