........... Then he tries to sell it for $1000. I email him again and he refuses to reply.I get my friend in the US to buy it on my behalf, and ship it to me. It was immaculate condition and good running.
I was happy with the price, but had the dick head been prepared to sell out side the US he would have gotten $800 more for it. He lost $800 for being too short sighted to spend 20 mins in the post office. Who earns $800 for 20 mins work?Almost the same story happenned a couple of months back.
Others however have let me bid and items have sold, even with other international bidders.Its a global community guys - get over the 48 states only crap.
Many thanks,
David.
Hey David,
Did you at least send him a snail mail thank you note for taking such excellent care of the engine and tell him how very pleased you are with the purchase?
I certainly would have, but … that’s just my nature. 
:lol:
BTW one of our relatives is an avid airplane model collector (the diecast stuff), he had similar problems often enough to have us do the bidding. That way he gets what he’s looking for and we sit glued to the last minute trying to foil the snipers.
That could be another hobby.
I buy items for a friend in the UK and he gets UK train items over there for me. Some there will not ship to the US.
