I buy a lot of my stuff off ebay. You can't beat the selection but some people do ask way too much for their stuff. You have to find fairly priced items without a high shipping price. There are bargins to be had.

Isn't that the same guy who wanted that much for the Lindberg 66 Chevelle kit?

I wonder why he wastes his time and money. Does he actually get a sucker who pays that much?

I think you can list for free, I know I have never had to pay to list on ebay, just had to pay photo fees, then the selling fee, the being a human fee, and so on :lol:

Yes its the same seller, take a look at all his other kit listing's, he really has no idea about what to sell them for

I dont think people are complaining about the price's , just pointing out when a seller trying to sell a dime a dozen kit at collector price's, thats all

Thats what i meant 75.00 for a kit that probably wouldnt go any higher than 30.00 at a streatch, to me anyway is nuts, but who knows maybe some body will go for it who knows.....

There is a "Best Offer" button on all of those auctions, no one is being forced to submit to the BiN price he's set. Clearly the guy got a collection or part of a collection when he got some set of baseball cards (which he's clearly more familiar with), and he's just set a BiN for his auctions since he has no idea what he has, or what it's worth. Offer him $15 for it, and see what happens.

He is thinking that every day 12 complete idiots walk by his house and he only has to catch one of them.

I guess he is right.

I agree, just make an offer and see what happens. I think we have beat on this topic enough. Let's get back to model building!

While I agree with you Austin, You can't let that annoy you life is too short!

Let's get back to model building!

One last, interesting detail many miss when buying from fleaBay. Anyone else notice that a kit marked down to $10.00 usually has a shipping price of anywhere from $10 ~ $15?!?! Even if it's in the home state?!?!

Yeah. It costs that much for a flipping package to get to me 3 counties over. :rolleyes: This is why I smart bid fleaBay on only the rarer and more worthwhile stuff.

Generally it was (I say was because I think Ebay has counteracted this now) because Ebay didn't have a fee on the shipping price, so people would put a low price for the item, and a higher price for shipping.
