Usually, the higher the winning bid, then the more money it makes, and permitting sniping software achieves this at no additional cost to eBay. QED. Victims of eBay 'sniping' should be able to deploy an immediate 'counter-battery' response! Drop in a little napalm and cook 'em down!? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of the time I was on an early morning flight. I don't admit to understand the workings of the units used to start the engines, but on this occasion they failed miserably. After about the sixth attempt, some bright spark at the back of the plane pipes up, If we all get out and push, will it bump start. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 I like that! You can perform a kind of bump start with certain planes, but you have to be a long way up in the air already and it's really not recommended... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted September 27, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 27, 2022 Ah but, the Metcalfe Brewery Kit was discontinued in both OO and N some time ago and now fetches ridiculous prices when one comes up but that is for unbuilt sealed sets though. One solitary wrecked building on its own however is pretty much worthless. Band Wagon Jumping 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed they haven’t been around for a while; the only creditable thing about this ad is that they didn’t try to cash in on this point with the usual RARE etc. Mind you it isn’t that great a model; I thought for a whole, well, zero seconds about selling mine as a rarity thanks to the two wall sections being different shades of Metcalfe luminous brick red, then I saw this one suffers from the same thing 🤣 Edited September 27, 2022 by 40152 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
