Agree. I've been buying and selling on Ebay since 1999, and their "quest for more money" is a turnoff.

On my last sale thru Ebay, the winning bid was $12.50. They charged me .80 for PayPal fees, plus at the end of the month I was charged $1.62 for selling fees (don't forget they include shipping costs ($4.18 on this item) in your total sale price). $1.62 plus $.80 equals $2.42 divided by winning bid of $12.50 equals 19.36% fees. That is your total cost of doing business. PS: Nobody should charge a fee on shipping! PPS: They charge 8.25% tax on all sales, even individual to individual as well as business to individual and for states that do not have an intrastate tax agreement (class action suit coming?).

My information is basic math! I take my sold price verses what PayPal deposits in my account less monthly fees and it comes out to about 20% of the sale price.

It has been my experience on Ebay that there fees are now close to 20% of the selling price (including shipping) plus they charge the buyer 8.25% tax. I can ship USPS Priority mail (from Texas) under two pounds for about $7.69 to anywhere in the lower 48 states. So with a selling price of $30 plus shipping minus fees you might clear around $22.46.

I like the "different" paint job. Since we're sharing. I converted this one to a lowered funny car

Thank you Sir.

Oh no! Best James bond ever. Got to build this now.

Just finished the "Munster Cars" with a few changes.

Agree entirely. Redid my chassis and swapped taillights with the Dragula.

Love em, both. Along the same line as my favorite Altered.

Agree entirely! I'm old enough to remember when black steelie wheels meant somebody stole your hubcaps.

My choice would be the Revell '41 Willys. I've built 7 versions so far and have 4 or 5 unbuilt in my stash.

Well, it's not a car, but it was in a movie. Bigfoot from Roadhouse .

Cool, love the open casket for "viewing" the engine.

Thank you, Sir.

Thank you.

Had an MPC Fonzie's Dream Rod kit that I built as a Monkeemobile. What to do with the 1/25th Fonzie figure? Well, I acquired a Revell Parts Pack 1/25th Triumph motorcycle. Here's Fonzie and his Bike. Aaaayyyyy!

Well, it's not a car but it was on TV. How about Fonzi and his Triumph motorcycle. The 1/25th Fonzi figure was in the MPC Fonzi Dream Rod kit (that I converted back to a Monkeemobile). The 1949 Triumph motorcycle is an original 1/25th Revell parts pack kit from 1962.

Got the body painted. The decals shattered in warm water (kinda figured they would, they were dated 1-74 on the back). Yes, I sprayed them with clear lacquer first. I'll order a set of Dyno Don 1973 Pinto Pro Stock decals from Slixx.

Saw your '55 Vette Gasser for sale on Ebay. You got 6 watchers. Best of luck.

And back to Pro Stocks. Some progress, stance looks right and 429 sits better. Almost ready for paint. have decided on Testors Bright Red.

Already got the Blue Max.

He did run a white with blue markings Pinto. Slixx has the decals for it, but I prefer his reds and orange cars

Saw that too, but he had a 427 SOHCammer in his.
