Now I wish I hadn't sold off my Revell rhino kit.
I want to try my hand at a bash like that.

Just made a really nice score. www.ebay.com/itm/350976344812Now I have 2 of the Pom Poms cards. And this one was dirt cheap. I was so surprised no one else bid and I got it for $1.50. |

YES! My first sealed PS kit! www.ebay.com/itm/321309936579$72 for a 71 Cromagnon Man was a bit higher than I hoped to pay. But I still think it is a reasonable price. Will know when I get it, as the pictures only show 3 sides. |

Got the croman yesterday.
Actually pretty nice shape.
Has really good color. Only issue is some slight squishing at the top on one edge.
Not horrible, just a bit rounded over.
I'm happy.

I would contact him and ask him about it, after all you did the work. I had someone buy a built-up from me one time and relisted the model once he got it with the same photos I used when I listed it. I contacted him and he kind of blew me off. I contacted Ebay about it and they pulled the auction. Had he just asked up front I would have most likely let him use the photos.

The second one looks better than the first one. He must have just listed that one, as I hadn't seen it yet.
And the reason for so many is simple. He hasn't been able to sell much of his actual art, but the kits are selling. So he just keeps making more of them.
They've all been listed by the same seller.

Yeah. Took me about 2 hours to talk the seller into dropping it down. Originally it was 125 + 35 shipping. A bit too high for a box in that bad a shape. So I sent him a message letting him know I was interested, but the high shipping put the total too high and asked if he would go for $140 shipped. He responded with reasons why the shipping was so much. Dimensions, weight, etc. I told him, I knew how big they were. And I wasn't accusing him of gouging on the shipping. Just told him what the kit, as is was worth to me. And if he wasn't comfortable with that price, then fine. I figured there was no harm in asking, as the worst case was he would say no. After that he agreed, and dropped the auction price and I jumped on it. Still a bit more than I would have liked, but I didn't want to try and low-ball him. I figure I can get some back selling the instructions. And since I don't have an original kit at the moment, it was worth it. If there isn't anything broken. Picture isn't too clear on exactly what condition it is in, except that it is all there. And I didn't want to gum up price negotiations with questions on condition. And I finally have a Tyrannosaurus box! Not the greatest. But I will have one.  |
