It's not often you find your work for sale on Ebay.

He just replied back to me and wants $300 for it. That's 5x's what I sold it to him for. Glad to see I sold it to such an asshole at such a good price.

Fucking prick.

I'm half tempted to sacrifice my eBay account just to run the price up and stick him with the fees.

I love how he talks about them like they were something -he- worked on! I don't think I've ever seen someone who was that much of an asshole.

Just another reminder of why I don't interact with the natives over there. Looks like I'll be buying a new one for $37 at bbts and doing another one.


Bet ya it turns out even better.

I need to think up a new scheme to better match the Shocktroopers. The decals are the biggest bitch to get, but a little birdy told me AVAC has the ability to produce them.

I've been trying to come up with a scheme to do a Type 92 in that would look good with STs but not just be blue and black Cobra schlock.

If you need stickers PCS I have a ton of Cobrasticker.com sheets. I've done a bunch of trades with that cat over the years and he has been real good to me with the stickers. Holla' if so.

The LAV now has two new bidders. One with a 0 and the other an 85. Both 100% with the seller. Maybe some other accounts? Either way, I think this gets relisted.

Well, same buyer came in and sniped both in the last few seconds. $44 for the Patton and $132 for the LAV. I just have to wonder if he did that to protect himself or if there was someone out there just dying to drop $200 after shipping on these pieces.

Wow. Not to detract from your customs (they are awesome), that's a lot of scratch to drop on a LAV. Especially since the Patton is the one that isn't available anymore.

What do you mean "protect himself"?

Midget, since he was so confident he would make several hundred off of each one, I wonder if the buyer of both isn't one of his friends bidding to keep them from selling too low. Reserves on auctions are worthless since they tend to drive away bidders.

Oh, I see. What an asshole. I don't understand people like that. It's an auction site, let the auction run naturally. Don't artificially inflate prices.
