I don't care if it is unmade, it's still a second-hand example of a kit that's still available from the manufacturer for less. OK, not that much less, but given the choice between a brand new kit that's covered by merchantability and distance selling laws or a handful of Nectar points, I'll take the former. However there's obviously one person who disagrees with me or simply CBA to do their research...

Washingborough I think? I think it's Washingborough, we've got one of those and a Waddington, but no Washington

"0-4-0 diesel could be a Clayton class 14". Now I know how to word a lonely hearts ad - "two arms and two legs could be Brad Pitt".

"Have to much flower grape" - is that their way of saying they've been on the elderflower wine?
-
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*

For sure, but I was referring to his attempts to place the body on the chassis. Admittedly I'm a kit-building tyro, but I don't think he's got it quite right?
-
Not only would you not buy a kit from our old friend, you wouldn't commission him to build one, either...
-
He's relisted it, along with the rest of his overpriced tat that didn't sell. No prizes for guessing how much he's reduced his prices by. Didn't Einsten have something to say about doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results?
-
He's got no end of stuff with similarly optimistic prices and no bids, including a couple of Lima class 50s at 100 notes apiece. The gostude is strong in this one
-
Some people never understand when they're politely being told to p*ss off, do they? It's truly disturbing, it looks like something John Wayne Gacy would have knocked together
-
Makes me glad I'm not a collector. Given the prices he's asking for that and the rest of his ludicrously overpriced tat highly collectable vintage model railway items, I'm wondering if he forgot to change the starting price of this?
-
He's also got this, which could prove interesting if the bidders haven't twigged they are getting just one power car and one coach.
-
That is perhaps my biggest bone of contention with him. He will describe repainted Bachmann 37s as 'kit built' and virtually everything he sells is supposedly 'new or test run only' when often a cursory glance of the wheels tells a different story. And then there's all the stuff that has bits missing/been weathered/otherwise modified yet somehow is still in mint condition. I'm with Metr0Land on this one - treat him as an absolute last resort and tread very, very carefully.

If I was going to spend that sort of money on a Hayabusa it'd be the marginally less uglier one made by Suzuki
-
Heh. That didn't last long, they're priced at £106 now.

The 'tude, it seems, does at least do his homework and is selling a Comet 14XX chassis kit for the same price it would cost from Comet direct (incl. P&P). I guess he must think the 21 nectar points you can get from Ebay will be enough to persuade people to send their money his way rather than Comet's way. Sadly, in a lot of cases, he's probably right.
-
Whilst they are both highly adept when it comes to taking the proverbial with item descriptions, I still think Micmcn is a bit behind Gostude, what with the latter's 'kit built' Baccy 37s and locos that manage to be both mint and hand-weathered at the same time etc. Aye, I find that almost as grating as Micmcn's "You are buying" spiel. Unless Satan's taken his snowboard into work, you can pretty much guarantee that no, I ain't buying!

"Simply stunning" - yep, in the sense that anyone operating it would be rendered blind by the WW2 searchlight attached to the front.

OK, who's in the market for 17 4-car HST sets of varying livery and provenance for the thick end of 2 grand? Single blurry photograph assures quality. Form an orderly queue, now...
-
Seems that everything from our little friend these days is kit built, including this unbuilt kit. As I was sniggering at the whopping 50p discount compared to a new one, I noticed that unlike a new one it includes some Romford wheels so is it in fact *gulp* a bit of a bargain?
-
"YOU NEVER KNOW ONE OF PRESERVE THE LOCO 'S MAY YET SEEN ONE DAY IN THIS LIVERY" Makes about as much sense as the price.

Whereas her Kit Kat wagon has a lid from something else entirely

Love the way he describes it as "boxed" (with the quotes), meaning he's put it in a new box The day Ebay implements a 'block seller' function and I can banish him, gosturd and various other shysters from my radar forever can't come soon enough.
