A "Naughty Wagon" might be a better description too... As they say IANAL! 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre-Covid (Its just like saying "pre-war" eeep...), it seemed like charity shops were pricing the L@@K RARE!!! items in their shops with reference to the more outlandish ebay listings. While our local charity shops are now reopening, I haven't visited any yet but it wouldn't surprise me if pricing policies haven't changed! I know you're supposed to appreciate that you're supporting a worthy cause, that the item looks in good nick, its in its original box and you're supposed to get the warm fuzzies if you buy it, but if you're not a GF OO collector, then its not going to be an impulse buy. 49 minutes ago, Paul H Vigor said: Just saying: If this thread was titled 'EBay sanity', it wouldn't be half as much fun!

If their photos actually showed the missing parts or the descriptions mentioned them, then yes, I'd take more care. Such as not to buy the item. But lacking any factual guidance or comments a customer cannot be blamed for assuming the model is complete and clean. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
