Re: I recieved my 1/48 apollo spacecraft model i got off ebay today I am ANGRY


'Reminds me of the time I tried, over and over, to get an "Everything is Go!"
kit from eBay. Every time, I would be outbid with only seconds to go. Obviously,
someone was using one of those automatic bidding services.

I finally won one of the bids, got the kit, and was shocked to find it all
there, except for the Atlas rocket! It took about 6-7 weeks of e-mails before I
got a promise to refund my money, in exchange for returning the "complete" kit.

The result is that I will no longer bid on any kit that's not factory-sealed.
(Yes, I know it can be faked, but the factory sealed kits usually have splits in
the plastic covering.)

So, I still want the kit, but will not buy it from eBay. Which means I'll
probably never find one...

Le Anne: That's definitely a bummer. I suspect there are quite a few on this list who have lost out on bidding on a "need to have" kit on eBay! At least in...
