[Harry P.]

Harry, have you ever posted one of your builds here?

Here are just a handful. If you want to see more you'll have to do your own search!

Oh, and all bought on ebay!

[slusher]

l always enjoy hearing about good finds and bargins on ebay...

I received the Rolls kit today. I love coming home and seeing a big cardboard box sitting at the front door!

I agree

True, I missed out on a Gunze E-type kit, that I meant to bid on, but got caught up with work, and so it sold for $24 with only 1 bid

Harry, have you ever posted one of your builds here?

Yes, he most certainly has....and his builds make me want to trash my unbuilt kits, and quit the hobby altogether, LOL.

I couldn't build that kind of quality in a million years!!!!!

[mrknowetall]

Just about all of the relatively rare kits I've purchased over the past twelve years have been bought through eBay. At fair prices. Not to mention dozens of non-hobby related items. I'm eBay addicted to be sure!

I assume this is the same as the Entex Rolls kit. More expensive than yours, but it's still a pretty good deal. Your Entex version is boxed as a 1905, but the Minicraft reboxing of this and its Silver Ghost partner say 1907; I wonder why?

I think they're wrong. The shape of the front fenders changed in 1906, so reboxing this 1905 kit as a 1907 is wrong as far as I can tell.

[Jantrix]

Yes. About two dozen of them at least. Maybe more.

Yep, we don't call him 'Gluebomb Harry" for nothing.

I've picked up my share of eBay stuff - got my "holy grail" decently built-up '57 Ford Country Squire there. Only mistake I made was when I bid on two different built '58 Ford convertibles at the same time, thinking I'd win one - ended up with both. Maybe I'll make one stock and the other NASCAR?

I did that too, wound up with three of these. Enough of a bargain that I kept them!

Hey Tom ! Who makes those and what scale are they. They are cool !

Ray, mine are packed away so I can't look. Ones that are listed on eBay right now say the manufacturer is Unique Replicas. Average selling price is $50-75. So back when I wanted one I was bidding $22 on all the ones listed and never winning one. Imagine my surprise when I logged in and found I won three of them!
