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

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!
