Tom Geiger Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Well it is free shipping and you'll get back $50 in eBay Bucks so..... it's still insanity! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High octane Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Besides the price being "outta da ballpark," that doesn't look too NEW to me??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob McKee Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Judging from the prices of the other models in his store I think it must be a typo. If not I have hit pay dirt, I have a few of those in the stash! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevyfever2009 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I think the seller has went bonkers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScaleDale Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I got that kit free with a loyalty card from my local hobby guy and used it for parts in a kit bash. Nice suspension. still have the motor. Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mademan Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 typo, should have been 24.99 which is still too high for that kit, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 typo, should have been 24.99 which is still too high for that kit, lol l would not give 2.99 in that condition if l wanted to build it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PappyD340 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Must be a typo, but the sad thing is, there is probably someone out there nieve enough to pay that price!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjordan2 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 He fixed the typo. Now $24.99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 He fixed the typo. Now $24.99. Which is still an order of magnitude too high for a kit in that shape. Frankly, I think he'd be pressed to get that price for a mint kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niteowl7710 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Price aside, I'm always dubious of someone selling a sealed kit with that kind of box crush, and claim that it ONLY effects the box. It's sealed...how do you KNOW it's not mashed up inside too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sealed...how do you KNOW it's not mashed up inside too? That's the general condition of kits I see for sale at flea markets! Either crushed or sun faded with tattered shrink wrap and a sunken in box cover. It will usually be a fairly common kit from the last 15 years, and the seller will tell you it's a genuine rare antique from 1999 and quote an outrageous price. Same kit you'd find at a model swap meet for $5 or $10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjordan2 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 (edited) Older kits with decent shrink wrap are generally older kits with new shrink wrap. Like the "still sealed in shrink wrap" kits I've received with loose, unbagged or missing parts.

Harry P. Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 You can't take shrinkwrapped to mean "new" or "never opened." You can always re-wrap a box that has already been opened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about kits that were listed as "still" sealed or "original seal," etc. And there's no way to know if the seller knew the difference between old or new.
