RE: [AMD] AD; 1/200 Hasegawa Airliners for sale

Well, Gerry, this is one of the very few groups or forums that I personally am a member of that still allows members to post links to e-bay sales. And of the others that do, the etiquette is at least to offer the group members the sales items at a fixed price first to avoid the ridiculous feeding frenzy that can occur on that certain auction site. And if it is a rare item, by all means set the price at a fair level that reflects its value - but at least give the group first go! If there's no interest from the group, then by all means stick it on fee-bay.

Just my opinion of course! (but, as I said, it does seem to agree with that of the 'owners' of most of the other groups/forums (fora?!)  I frequent!)

And BTW, it wasn't possible to hit the delete key without first reading Tony's post as the subject didn't mention e-bay! And had the items been directly available to the group I might have been interested.

Boulderdash!!!!

 

The objective of AMD notes on eBay airliner modeling items is for the benefit of the potential purchaser.  No, eBay doesn't need our help, nor actually do most of the sellers.  There are lots of buyers out there who aren't on AMD.  Some of us post notes of sales on AMD to give members a headstart on bidding, if that's what they desire.  For the person looking for a 1/100 scale Nitto DC-3 with Stagelines decals, for example, a note that an AMD member is placing one on eBay can be a significant benefit.  He or she might not discover the item without the benefit of the AMD posting.

 

If these eBay sales notes are offensive, simply move the curser over the "delete" key and press.

 

BTW, the Nitto DC-3 is 1/100 scale, not 1/96, and isn't the one sold by ATP.  This is an original Japanese mold, and (some of us believe) was the "master" for the Minicraft DC-3 in 1/144 scale.

Let's leave all e-bay sales off this site.  E-bay doesn't need our help.  Out, Doug Seeley IAD, DCA, & BWI
