Found this on evilbay. I doubt that ANY of the two kits available will go soon...

WHAT?  :o

Even with the decimal point one place to the left that's still an outrageous price! What planet is he on???  :banghead:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Let's say he got this imported from Taiwan, NT$712 is £17. That's still double the usual price!
He's based in Israel according to his Ebay page - 712 Shekels is £144 so that's way off!

Looking at everything he sells, he buys bundles of random stuff cheap to make a profit. This only works if you know the value of what you are selling....

I had a look at his model kits, out of curiosity. Everything has prices out of this world. IMHO the best one is this. IN THE MODEL KITS SECTION  :o

Owing to the current financial difficulties, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.

Or if the person buying it doesn't.

I've not looked at his history, and can't be bothered to either, but his "model" must work for him or he'd change it ?
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

May also be the possibility that what is "sold" is not the only thing in the package.

True. Hadn't thought of that. I'm still an innocent at loose in the world at heart  :angel:

Given that some of the Project X vacforms command stupid money these days on open auctions, I don't blame the seller for trying his hand here.
