Yes, but didn't you read? It's "One of a kind resin kit.", "AWSOME DETAILED KIT"

It's a pretty nice model though, good wings and the head is a lot better than the GW one. I can easily people paying that much for it, people with this hobby often have very deep pockets (or they are happy to dig deeper, even if they're kind of reaching the bottom..)

I always dislike that there's no pictures of said item in sales like this. Pictures grabbed of the net don't sell that well to me.

In short, yes, people are mad.

Ah no, in that case it's a clever scam. I sort of fell for it. And 21 other people really fell for it and bidded on it...

That's not mad, just stupid. And I'm kind of ashamed now. Thank you.

Not one of the maddest auctions on Ebay either...

Didn't mean to make you feel that way. Just wanted to show people, look we have it here and its a decent price :)
People should just look around before buying, at least then you can sometimes find things at their real prices

No harm done, wasn't entirely serious anyway. :p

But if I would have really investigated (I just put the name of it trough google to check), I would've put the pictures trough tineye (reverse image search) and probably had end up on the right thing and made less of a fool out of myself. Though I do find myself now looking trough the stuff on CMON and I'm pleasantly surprised!

But yeah, people should really more investigate ebay sales, but sadly they don't always do. They just go for the quick buy and I've even hear people being addicted on it...

Fools and their money are quickly parted.

It's a great mini, but unless it's coming assembled and painted, a smidge overpriced!

That's the deal of ebay. Easy buys in 2 clicks. I always check out the actual retail price before bidding on things.
I love the people who like clicking the 'click to buy' button. Also the ones who don't do research. What can I say? If you got an ability, use it! And if your ability is stupidity/not knowing the value of money, then use it and make the world a little more happy.

Gotta agree there, buyer beware and all that.
I sell a fair bit on ebay, and there have been quite a few times that I've been floored by the bidding wars over the silliest of things.
I sold a $100 robot statue for almost $2000!
And I am almost positive that it stopped being about the toy at about $300, after that it was just about the bidding for like 5 ppl.

LMAO!

Really rub their nose in it...that'll teach 'em to do some research...not just the winner, but the bidders that bid higher than the store price even!!

LOL
