I'm wondering the same thing. I've only had one bidder actually win one of my items with zero feedback. He paid immediately, and I had no problems. Got lucky, I guess.
This is a very good reference thread. Being a MOPAR man, I appreciate all the info I can get. It comes in handy both in the big scale world, and the small scale world!
While not related to model car kits, a merchant in my town has cancelled a couple meetings with Chinese vendors, which has caused his inventory to be a little thin. That could very well happen to model kit vendors and manufacturers, as well.
I finally found those taillight lenses!! You'd think out of four of the longbed kits I have, there would be more than one set! HAHAHA
I'll get them out to you Monday.
