OT:- What a prat (ebay)
Nothing to do with engineering or models, but I spotted an ebay item
which was just what I've been looking for for a while. Looked at the seller's past sales, it seems likely he's sold stuff early before so I asked if he had a 'buy it now' price. Not something I've ever done before, & not really keen on it. Instant response, "Make me an offer". So I did, not my top price but not far off it. Certainly not an insulting offer, in my book, though I've no idea what the 'market value' might be. Response 10 minutes later:- "That does not even cover the cost of the new parts. do not contact me again. if you bid on the auction, your bids will be removed." I'll chuckle to myself if he doesn't get what I was willing to pay. Tim |

I'll hazard a guess that he's sold it for more than I was willing to pay, but he's still a prat. Tim |
