Default Collector Alert

Doing my usual surfing for old kits today, I come across a decent Ebay seller.
Many kits, many brands, decent price.
Check him outHERE
I plan on bidding on a few.
I will post them here.
I suggest if anyone else bids to post which one they are bidding on as well.
This will help us all by not trying outbid each other.
Maybe an arrangement can be worked out in advance.
He has Centuri, Estes, Custom, MPC, Quest, Apogee, QCR, North Coast, Glencoe & THOY, all Vintage.
It's a short 5 day auction, some have buy it now prices.

EDIT: He replied to my Email, highest shipping plus $2 each addition item on multiple items.

He has some decent kits but I won't be bidding as we have multiples of most of them in mint condition. My interest is solely to see what they go for in the end.

I do have a question: how does it work when you have a kit for auction AND it also has a buy it now price? Assuming there is only 1 kit once the bidding starts, is the "buy now" option automatically off the table or could someone swoop in and buy it mid auction and it's just too bad for the bidders???

Personally, I would either post my price for sale or auction it.

The Buy It Now feature is only if no one has a bid on it.

Yea - once someone bids the Buy-It-Now goes away.

I don't see anything wrong with those tubes. They are perfectly oval!

Yeah, if they were just a little oval, I would have been okay with it. It was the creases that got me.

Ebay just resolved this today. I keep one kit and I've already been refunded for it. I had to return the other kit and I'll get a refund when it's delivered. Kinda weird.
