Default Why only the Collectible Motors

It makes me wonder? why is it that the only auctions that get pulled from Ebay are the auctions
that include collectible motors and other collectible items ?
there are hundreds of other auctions on Ebay with motors included and I will say most of them
never get pulled.

Could it be that there are those who would intimidate the sell into a back door Deal ?
Or could it be that others are envious that they will not win the items so they
RAT Out the seller ?
The Old; if I can't have it than neither can anyone else.

I know some of you think its your job to make sure that no one is shipping motor without
the proper shipping papers, so how come you let all those starter kits and the other
auctions with the cheap deal motors go? I just want to know.

The old crabs in a buck deal, huh.

Seems like there's a follow the rules cop in every crowd. I think it could be a little bit of the caught and the uncaught plus a little mix of crush the competition.

Just my two cents,
David

Besides the ever present snitches, someone convinced ebay that only dealers can legally sell them.

POS clowns that insist on playing 'shipment cop' are the bane of this hobby.
If it's not YOUR deal, BUTT OUT !

No, sort of like the old curmudgeon in the deal. I really don't care if I get beat out, but when
the auction gets pulled and the items are mostly old classic kits and parts that Sucks.

the most current auction in witch this happened was just this week.
the auction included a late 1960's Centuri Payloader II, a Centuri Servo Launch Pad,
and in the mix of other items was a plastic bag of perhaps 5-6 Centuri Motors.
Those motors where JUNK to me. I have @#$%ing Bunch of Old Centuri Motors.
And a Butt Load that I got from Common Wealth Displays back in the 1990's that are still
usable. I wanted the Kit and other Items. and if it would of came to out bidding me,
it would have cost someone.
