Ayatollah Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Again, I GUARANTEE 2/3 of this is Shilled-up just by the number of re-lists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JdKustomModels Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 greenbacks????????? oy im biddin on a 378 I need to do a 379 to depict my ride.......its nicely priced now and the top bid I put in should seal the deal..........unless Im outbid by someone who is goofy enough to go over top of my top bid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackinac359 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I won't bid on the 378 this time.. gotta pay the homeowners insurance this month. :roll: I can't believe the price the 378 kit goes for. The WORST part about this is that I KNOW most of these kits were bought when the kit was discontinued and sold at $19.99 by several on-line retailers. Like a dummy, I only bought 3 at that price. :cry: Come on Italeri, reissue this kit ! or.. include the hood, chrome parts and springs in the 377 kit as a "2 in one" kit.

SpreadAxle Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Tim, the 2 in 1 idea is great! I wish that could be done for a handful of kits. As for the W900 conversion, thanks for clearing that up for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JdKustomModels Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 i dont like payin that much either but after what happened here a few weeks ago the only thing i could salvage was a new alf eagle that i had out in the garage and luckily the 79 hood conversion and the donor 377 were at my moms so i need this one bad lol.......i wrote a few different letters to italeri to bring the 378 back. i remember the good ol $20 days i used to drive to a shop in lavale md and i got 4 of them for $35 a piece........but the price these days is outrageous.........lol if you wanna bid on it Tim go ahead, I wont be upset if I lose it to you.....but its a lot higher on my side than the $51 its at now lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semi Trailer Mechanic Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 What's goin' on... HA HAAAA "Greenback" is an old slang for DOLLAR just like a BUCK and so on. Rumor has it there were a couple people purposly outbidding people who are trying to win an auction then at the auctions end not paying up! Also I've heard of sellers having multiple accounts counter bidding interested buyers on their own auctions for obvious reasons! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JdKustomModels Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 they better not outbid me and not pay up, i need that kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizardlust Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I do agree that the prices for models on EvilBay can be extreme. An Esci Toyota BJ-44 "Philipino Taxi" in unbuilt condition went for (eep!) $236.75 tonight. For whatever reason(speculation, overwhelming desire to own it), that kit is now practically unobtainable to the average builder. I can remember buying them for less than 10 bucks a pop from Squadron Mail Order in the eighties - oh well..... :cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoneguy Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 I can't complain tooo much--I just picked up this up-- 50 greenbacks plus shipping. Not too bad considering I was the ONLY bidder on this and I haven't seen it any any of my LHS. Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twist67 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Hi there, I bought a lot of kits,Trucks and Cars on ebay...But there are not so much kits over here in Germany so most of my kits I buy in USA.....Pay with Paypal and never had any troubles to get the kits over here.... My ebayname is chrispi67. Tim,I´m trying to make a resin cast of the 378 front axle and springs etc and from the hood....Hope it will work.... Cheers,Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackinac359 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Chris IF you're doing a 378, you might as well cast the springs, hood, headlights and the battery box covers too! Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twist67 Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Hi Tim, yes,I´ll try to cast all those things needed for the 378...Lot of work and maybe it needs some more experience in resin casting but I´m sure it finally will work.... I´ll let you know how it´s going on. Cheers,Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
