skyhighhobbies - Beware
I don't normally post negative stuff about vendors but I know many of you buy and sell old rockets and I thought I should give you a heads up. I've seen the old MPC Minirocs from skyhighhobbies offered on ebay and elsewhere for years. I finally decided to buy a Minirocs Taurus -1 from him on ebay and the photos below show how it was packaged and sent.
I couldn't believe anyone selling old kits for years would actually do this, stuff a kit into an obviously too small box putting a big crease across an otherwise pristine header card. When I contacted him about it there was no apology, or offer of a solution, other than to suggest that somehow my level of expectation was too high. I asked him if he had another one and perhaps we could work something out but he said he didn't. He told me I could return the kit for a refund (at my expense) and commented "...sorry this 45 year old kit doesnt look new." Rather than paying $10 to return a $13 kit and being left with nothing, I decided to just leave him negative feedback (first time I've done that in almost 20 years on ebay). His next two responses were: "I returned the favor with feedback ;-) Don't bother bidding on my auctions again." (like I would ever buy anything from him again, LOL). and then "turns out I had one last kit left in mint condition...just posted it." Clearly meant to show he could have easily solved the problem he caused but didn't want to. So I thought I'd give you fellow collectors a heads up. Just not a guy worth dealing with. Steve |
