Reminds me of some dog waste bags I bought, that had strict instructions to keep them away from animals.
|
"The 75mm gun is firing. The 37mm gun is firing, but is traversed round the wrong way. The Browning is jammed. I am saying "Driver, advance." and the driver, who can't hear me, is reversing. And as I look over the top of the turret and see twelve enemy tanks fifty yards away, someone hands me a cheese sandwich." |

Cute Great Unclean One. Was this some really old OOP thing or is it some conversion? If it was real, it'll be a really heavy metal ball.
It is not real. I recognize the the round parts on the ball, but cannot place it. Either way it is different for sure. I do like how it looks like a hand is trying to come up out of the ground.
Madballs?

I stopped selling empty boxes because 90% of the buyers never read the details, even when you called it XXXX XXXX box only, in the opening line, and stated it in the description in big red letters.

Any advice on this guy ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/thechangeling?_trksid=p2047675.l2559
Seems dodgy to me, only shows the forge world pics of models, as soon as one sells, he puts another up of the same thing. Is he selling recasts? He's selling way cheaper than RRP.

I noticed this earlier while looking for stuff. Its some glitch that ive noticed with a few other sellers as well. I know for a fact this is not his normal price because I bought Flash Gitts from this same guy for $42 a box and even those are at $475 right now.
They'll bump the price up when they are out of stock, so no one buys one. Then just lower the price, when they have them back in stock.
I"m sure if someone payed him $475 for a box of Flash Gitz he'd find some quick.

Out of curiosity - did this transaction 'complete' OK?
A lot of packages to Russia, Italy and Singapore end up getting 'contested' as 'did not receive' and then you have to fight the PayPal battle with eBay...

The model isn't a terrible choice, but that paint job is horrible.
It gets it's 2+ save from ablative layers of paint

Best part of that listing is where he says you have to assemble and paint it yourself. I also like the part that says "NOT for human use".

I am guessing it was translated wrong as the item is from Hong Kong. It is more then likely suppose to be not for Human consumption or something close. But the location of where it is from worries me more.

To even try to sell empty boxes is just dishonest. Im sure I can speak for many that it may be a positive thing that you no longer use ebay.

i wouldn't say its dishonest, if its clearly described and priced at 0,01 of whatever currency, its ok and some of the old tank boxes (2nd edition era) are a useful size.
Having said that anyone asking many monies for empty boxes or being deliberately vague with the description deserves a good slap.

It is not at all dishonest, I never tried to sell them as anything other than empty boxes, people actually requested the empty boxes, thats why I started putting them up.
They were clearly labelled as empty boxes, I even put it in big red writing in the description, twice, but people still purchased without reading.
I now send them direct to the few people that want them, i stopped selling the boxes on ebay, because i did not want to look like I was purposefully ripping people off.
I still do trade, I receive a lot of thanks as well, as thankfully not everyone makes crappy assumptions.
