Martin Dance 1 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Well it is in excellent condition even the plan and instructions are in the original German.However the tube of glue is probably dry so a discount may be in order perhaps a 99% discount would be appropriate.

Considering it's possible to pay around £300 or more for an admittedly very nice foamie and this is a half scale model including a Zenoah 62 that's perhaps not an unreasonable price. I bet the bidder has actually had a look at the model or, at least, asked a few questions to see if it's really well built. Out of my comfort zone, though.

Geoff S Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 That would be the bargain of the year at £67! The current top bidder's maximum was just shy of the £460 because that's how high the bidding had to go to beat him. Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Marsh Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 You gotta be joking. This probably would go for £40 at a Swap meet,if it sold at all, but £400 plus posting, yeah right! **LINK** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon P Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Maybe I am missing some sarcasm but that is a Top Flite Taurus kit in what he claims is mint condition. It isn't worth £400 but they sell for over £200 in the USA. Add postage and taxes if you were to buy one from there and you are easily pushing £300. Also why is the fella above shouting about £16 postage for what is going to be quite a large and valuable parcel. If you haven't noticed almost all kits on eBay ask for £15 postage or thereabouts because that is what it costs. This thread has its place and I too have shared a few silly examples I found but very occasionally I wonder what the deal is with you folks. I don't see why the Taurus seller is getting slammed so hard. His buy it now is mispriced slightly but he also allows bidding starting at just £75. No, I am not the seller and no I am not going to bid on it. Edited By Simon P on 07/12/2017 20:19:14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff S Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 I think the main fault in the advert is the lack of information about the kit. A lot of people (me included) would have no idea what sort of model it is; how big, what engine, it's history. If a buyer has to Google what you're selling to get information then you, as a seller and advertiser, have failed. There is no limit on the number of words you use in an advert so tell the full story. Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
