Not this time! £250 instead of £380-400 is a good start and it's not moved yet, with only five days to go. The only downside I can see is that you have to go to Abbey Wood to collect it or shell out twenty quid for postage - actually, for a box you could use as a coffin, that's not bad.

Am I really saying this? £250 for a model kit is cheap???

His feedback looks legit, he's located in England, and he wants pick up only. I don't think there is anything wrong with this one. You may be able to arrange payment at pick up, to ease your mind. I'm sure the seller won't mind that, as it will save a huge chunk in paypal fees as well ...

good luck

Henk

It didn't sell! Has everyone's credit been completely crunched, then?

Super price but as already said the downside is its only for pickup. That may be the reason or the price. Has to be a small local market for that kind of item and the low price may entice someone to make the trip. Not sure why someone would do that since sellers make you pay shipping. But if your close you can save some real dough.

The same thing happen 2 weeks ago on this side of the pond... 8 1/35 kits in NYC but had to pick it up. 45 minutes drive for me so i bid,won and got all this for $80...
