This seller thinks EVERYTHING is pro built. He had a build listed a couple months ago that was obviously brush painted with minor visible glue marks that he listed as pro built.

Ehem, the seller is the "Kingofmodelcars". :lol:

I have seen a few sellers which claimed "pro built" and I agreed with them (the CHrysler C-body models come to mind), but I know definitions of "pro built" vary wildly.

I have bought a few unbuilt kits from this seller, didnt have any problems with him, his shipping was a little high but with two kits it made up for it.

Man I wonder how many hard hours and dollars went into that paint job?Oh wait,none.So it's not like anything here that we work our buns off and win shows with,is it?

I have some ocean front real estate near Phoenix, if you don't need a bridge.

"Pro Built" is a meaningless phrase, because anyone can say it. Who's to say what "Pro Built" means? What standard does a builder have to meet in order to claim that he's a "pro?" Who can prove that any given model was actually built by a "pro," and who says the builder was a "pro?"

If someone pays little snotnosed Billy down the block 5 bucks to build a model, does that make little snotnosed Billy a "pro builder?"

It's just a meaningless come-on meant to fool the gullible into spending more than they really should.

pro is short for professional .. or a persons profession ,, aka job... if your job is building model cars .. your models are "pro built"

and if your "thekingofmodelcars " well ...don't know what to say about that
