Jasta 14 addict Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Ridiculous prices for a kit that's not really interesting to me. I dumped Ebay long time ago so in my opinion.....who cares On the other hand, if people want to pay such stupid prices, well, let them.....it's their money so no harm done Now it's time to explain the wife why their was 500+ $ withdrawn from the account Greetz Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7713MC Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I'd trade mine for three of those new GT Resin intakes for the Tamiya 1/32 F-14. Never going to get to it anyway. Catch me at pbtomcatfan@gmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wunwinglow Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Evil? How so? I have something, someone else wants it. The price is just a product of how badly they want it and how rare the item is. The method of finding and striking the deal is irrelevant, surely. Youngtiger1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 (edited) Another lets ask for the sky and maybe we'll get lucky. I only buy on eBay as a last resort and with a fixed price in mind. If it's more then that; I walk. I also refuse now to buy from overseas venders as the price for shipping is normally way too much. Yup, I'm learning to live without if necessary.

CANicoll Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 I tend to look to Amazon before I look to EBay. I've purchased items on both and as with everything - I buy if the price is worth it to me. The last two words being the most critical. But I do laugh at some of the prices I've seen on EBay for various things, however. I have a Tamiya 1/32 Mustang - I wonder if I can sell it on EBay for $200? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkOwl Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) Can somebody explain to me why Tamiya is simply not re-releasing the 1/32 Thunderbird F-16 and offering it on a permanent basis ? Their mould is fully paid now and they can simply made a lot of money with it. The same question can apply for the 1/32 Academy F-16.

otis252 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 How about re-releasing it as a version similar to their 48th scale viper kit that allows you to build virtually any F-16? Chuck mark31 and SharkOwl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Fleischmann Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 What ever happened to Eric Yee? I used to buy kits from him-his prices were awesome..but I cant find his website anymore. Cheers Pete timvkampen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Southern Bandit Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Can somebody explain to me why Tamiya is simply not re-releasing the 1/32 Thunderbird F-16 and offering it on a permanent basis ? Their mould is fully paid now and they can simply made a lot of money with it. Often wondered this too, this kit I'd buy if it was available in UK at a decent price, and when I say decent price, just a regular Tamiya high price for a kit like this would do me. Is it the complicated decal sheet holding it back I wonder? or perhaps the in-flight stand the kit comes with that might be the bottle neck? Perhaps that part of the kit was outsourced? I really don't know, could be any number of reasons but would love one, have the 1/48 Tamiya Thunderbird F-16 that I will practise on should I ever score the 1/32 kit, spraying white has never been my strong point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Would be nice if they just repopped it in grey plastic, with both types of inlet and nozzle, in a plain brown box marked "F-16 overtrees" As for Ebay, it's a great facility to buy, but I have yet to try selling.

pzcreations Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Prezactly. "Evilbay" - I don't get it. What's "evil" about it? You sell, you buy. Nobody's holding a gun to anybody's head. I call it evilbay because of the companies 'buyer protection' policies which have become a well known source for thieves to take advantage of. Its getting to easy for buyers to make false claims in order to get the items for free...ripping of the honest sellers...yup..there were some bad sellers for a number of years, now its flipped ,and theres just too many scamming buyers, cause they know the buyer will win the case and get it for free! timvkampen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
