hornbyandbf3fan Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I must pick up some junk at the next fair......... Come to think of it, I've got a box of Kitmaster and Airfix bits and a tired Tri-ang well wagon! You're in buisness then! Remember, you just need some orange paint now!

Horsetan Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) Anyone wondering about Gostude's latest scams should leaf through the large pile of unbuilt kits that he is now offering. Best example for me is the M&L Hawksworth "County" plus wheels for £189.50. He is also offering Dave Alexander kits for a lot more than Mr. Alexander himself charges!!BTW, has anyone been able to discover the true identity of Gostude, or would that simply be too expensive a task?

RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted May 21, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) BTW, has anyone been able to discover the true identity of Gostude, or would that simply be too expensive a task? I have been advised by a regular toy and train auction attendee that he seems to pay top dollar (even well over the odds) for job lots in order to block others out for his onward selling. It must be a good business model for him as he seems to have many happy clients. It never ceases to amaze me that buyers don't bother to research first, as Ivan has said some items, like the Dave Alexander kit, which can be acquired more cheaply direct from him!

Cleefy Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Oh that has made me choke with laughter, and yet people are paying money for this stuff. Unbelievable, isn't it? Some people are such shameless charlatans I honestly don't know how they sleep at night. *eyes Plastic Magic and airbrush* 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One assumes location 'Thame' gives an idea, but that covers quite a large area The free p&p probably comes from eBay's irritating default/can't over-ride settings. I couldn't find how to set "collection only" on my last sale. Edited May 23, 2013 by Il Grifone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Colin_McLeod Posted May 23, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 23, 2013 No previous feedback as a seller yet his first item is for £10,000 BIN. Some of his previous purchases were for seeds of various types. Perhaps he has planted all those trees, but they have yet to grow!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
