1 18 KING TIGER?

[gliderdwm]

I thought I remember a Curtis that worked at Military Toy shop also in Ohio. Obviously the Komet is form Jack and he mentioned that he has sold another one.

[Beeavision]

I just got this msg from the seller

"I got these from a friend who died, and he willed his collection to me. He was friends with one of the design engineers."

Now according to the listing below which was ended by the same seller in question quoted that it was his brother who died not a friend. Or maybe its both????

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/1-6-NAVY-SEAL-UD ... 0657740050

This is what was said...

"Don't miss out on this one, I have a NIB Hot Toys NAVY SEAL AGA MASK for sale. It is new in box and in very good condtion. I inherited the item from my brother who was killed while in service to his country. He was a NAVY SEAL, and loved these items very much. This was the only one he never opened. And I doubt there is another like it, in this condition."

[aferguson]

boy this guy is having some bad luck with people close to him dying.

all the pics for his auctions are clipped; none did he take himself. That includes the bradley which is from another auction that was on a couple of weeks ago.

[flayrah]

Listings state he's from Ohio. Ohio's right next to Indiana. Jerry Napier is from Indiana. I'm just sayin....

[flyboy_fx]

This guy MUST be screwing with us. WTF, why can't he post pics???


Lets see our Convo:

Hi, can you post pics of the actual tank? I would like to see what I would be bidding on, thank you.

-Alex

The picture posted is exactly what it looks like. Nothing more, nothing less. In my opinion, the 1:16 kits I built look better than this item, but for those who have a urge to possess all the possible 21st Century 1:18 scale items, bid away.

Hi, I would really like to see the item before bidding. We are not talking about a regular run of the mill item. Can we get a few extra shots please? Not the picture that 21st used...
Thanks, -Alex

The item is as described. If you are unhappy with the lack of pictures, and feel uncomfortable, unsure of the item, then I understand if you wish to not bid. There are 24 people watching this item, and I have no doubt it will sell for a very high price. Sorry to be so brash, but I have left plenty of details about the item in the description, and the description is accurate. I have never mis-represented an item.

- curtisbehappy2011

Hi, I know, the description is a big part of it. I sell scale buildings on ebay and forums for high prices, no matter how great the description is, there's nothing like pictures.
I know a few people who won't bid unless we see pictures. If you would not mind uploading a few, we would all really appreciate it.

Cheers,
Alex

Whether or not you bid makes no difference to me. I knew from the beginning that this auction would never make it to the final 24 hours.I have many connections here who trust me, and my word. I've already had offers of 1000.00+, so if you don't want to bid, then don't. Again, I sorry for sounding so brash, but if you don't buy it, someone else will. This is a one of a kind item, and is legit.

Regards

Hi, I really do not understand why you can not post pictures of it??? What would be the harm in taking a few minutes to upload a few pictures for us? You really have no Idea how to treat someone that would be willing to dish out good money for something.

Regards,
Alex

What do y'all think? I'm sorry but... he's an a$$hole.

[cjg476]

I agree he told me the same thing...report his item for false info...lol
I think your taking a risk buying it without knowing more...but if one of you does...show us pics...

[NWarty]

Talk about shady. Can't even post up pics of the ACTUAL ITEM for sale.

Run....Run away fast.

[Beeavision]

I agree, this guy seems a bit shady to me though I could be wrong as I've been wrong before. If I were a buyer though I'd probably look elsewhere just to be safe. Not to mention out of the 40ty feedback remarks associated with his name only one is from a buyer.

If something sounds too good to be true then it probably is.

[NWarty]

Did CatLady post pictures of the actual prototype when she put up her auction?

[Beeavision]

As we always remind others....

"Pictures or it didn't happen!"

[flyboy_fx]

Did CatLady post pictures of the actual prototype when she put up her auction?

Yea she did.

[flayrah]

If I was trying to sell a prototype or other rare item, I'd post as many photos and answer as many questions as possible to try and build interest. This has all the markings of a scam IMO.

[lancelot]

I'm assuming he's a scammer.

[flyboy_fx]

Lets all report him! Hey, if it is real, if we can't have it... NO ONE CAN! Until pickledude makes it!!!!!!!!

[SolidSnakeEyes]

In my 11 years on eBay, I've always found that it's wise to avoid auctions without pictures. 11, 8, even 5 years ago, not everyone had cameras...but, most did. Now, just about everyone has a phone with a camera. If this guy can't take a quick pic...then, something is screwy. That, or he's just an idiot, and is extremely hardheaded.

[[CAT]CplSlade]

It has a bid. I think its a shill to trick people into going for it.

[Razor17019]

What a JERK! Flyboy's request is not unusual at all. It would be like buying a Back to the Future screen used Delorean online. I would want to see pics inside and out to prove the car is really the car.

Sounds like a guy wanting to take people's money...

I wasn't aware that the Phantom had even been started, so that's news to me.

as far as i know there was only 4 prototypes made of the 1/18th F-4 by 21C but how he got ahold of one is a mystery...

[Aslav]

He seems really suspect to me.
1 sale and many purchases, scrolled through his purchased items and Feedback.
Buying many 21st 1/18 airplanes and usually paying a high amount for them.
Is he a scammer who will do a Credit Card charge-back through Paypal after he gets his planes delivered?.
I quote the Latin phrase "CAVEAT EMPTOR" (Buyer Beware!)

[Aslav]

boy this guy is having some bad luck with people close to him dying.

all the pics for his auctions are clipped; none did he take himself. That includes the bradley which is from another auction that was on a couple of weeks ago.

Did a bit more research through his Feedback, he won the Bradley auction for $43, relists at $135 and uses the same pic from the auction he won.
Something fishy going on and the SSMHQ net-police are on the scent.

[flyboy_fx]

I feel like reporting it... I hate to see some other person get scammed.

[flyboy_fx]

SOmething is very odd. All of the sudden he is buying THOUSANDS of dollars worth of models in a short period, then all of the sudden has a KT???? Yea, what is he trying to do... He has never even sold anything yet???

[derek_001]

I feel like reporting it... I hate to see some other person get scammed.

hey thats not ture american justice though id wait till you have more proof of scaming before you go off and report someone...
Yeah it does seem pretty "fishy " but like alot of yall have said "you dont know the guy" just keep your eye on him till you have sold proof insted of a suspicion...

[flyboy_fx]

True... I still feel like it though... Not going to, but we shall see.

Well Aferguson, Snake, myself, and a few others here are Canadian, so this so called 'American Justice' means nothing to us.

If the auction goes south, let's report the pants off the guy.
