Swissrail Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) Here's a seller that makes Go$tude look like a model of decency and respectability. There's some heartbreaking neglect to be seen here. You've also got to marvel at the nerve of someone trying to sell bin rakings this bad. Whoever originally owned them and "modified" them had no love for them, no modelling skills and seemingly very little eysight for some of those horrors to have been perpetrated on once expensive continental models. It's tragic. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_ssn=superkbros&store_name=superkbros&_oac=1&_trksid=p2047675.m3561.l2562 Select "newly listed" to see them all. EDIT: Look at this one. He's added mass by glueing wheel balance weights to the roof!! I just can't wrap my head around that kind of thinking. And then there's this one, with the novel wiring and pantograph glued to the roof . Yours for at least $9.99, but he clearly expects more or it wouldn't be an auction.

Lovely bit of recycling with the wheel weights, they're the ones that have been knocked off when hitting a kerb, generally found when looking in the gutter for cigarette ends to recycle....🤢 2 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swissrail Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 This is Go$tude using another name..Antiquetoys1...but it's the same overpriced tat with the same cheesy "a great addition to your collection" tagline. This time it's ten different Humbrol sized tins of paint for the surprisingly low price of £149.50. I don't know how he does it for so little. 🤣 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/144194861650?hash=item2192aefa52:g:IvQAAOSw1eJhOz0Z&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoF31vNlWkyBSDAmEN%2BLGhxYQdgi9brU8N4KxB07vyOK%2BtiYB7ouvhHsCz408%2FRq2iFbGR8mVFGOP9%2FcD%2BNM6y8p77VnOYYoQplh7ECa%2FYAgGs540q7dZaMRa6e6xCXV62rt9Q0fj4ei29GkaA6JIkavUsFCf14u64xbTK%2FASk86SdAgxO8EjXJCik%2BLB4u36xcq92H6JD3%2BytAxsAH49CvM%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR7itutPMYQ 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey squirrels are addicted to tobacco, and eat the tobacco from discarded butts. As they've never seen the graphic pictures on the packets, they don't realise that they'll get get cancer from their loathsome habit and die an agonizing death from it.

However: Some excellent survival tips there from the people who trained Britain's special forces. Don't eat squirrels! I can also tell you, only eat seagulls if there's absolutely nothing else!
