Careful now...expectations of proper models and having them painted makes you a huge "snob" here.

Not for 300 quid it's not...that's a nice paintjob/conversion, but that's nowhere near that cost. So, good for the seller...

Regardless of bids, the person who bought it is bad...and should feel bad. Forever.

With respect, elbows, whoever bought it should feel however they like. I would feel "Gosh, that's a brilliant model" and would enjoy looking at and/or playing with is as much or as little as I want.

Nobody got ripped off. Nobody should feel bad. Two people bid £300. A third bid £201.

What's wrong with enjoying a great model, and a (presumably, as he bid a dozen times) happy buyer & seller?

Sorry for the threadromancy but I had to get this in here. Came across it months ago when looking for a bargain on tyberos. Thick paint, brush strokes, the most random colours in weird patterns and the obligatory 'Pro painted' label. Comes with a spiel about how it didn't place in competition because it lacked a wooden plinth, and all with a whopping 150 dollar price tag for a 40 ish dollar mini. Unsurprisingly its still up for auction, surprisingly, no drop in price since I first viewed.
