Let the buyer beware!

Friends,
I have done what I never thought I would do?

That's got you guessing 

In the summer I bought a plastic kit on Ebay because I thought I was being forward thinking what with the winter coming, dark evenings etc. etc.

Sat down this evening with a disassembled kit i.e. built by the previous owner, started setting out all the bits to identify them only to discover that several pieces are missing, important pieces!

Checked on Ebay and it appears that the seller has ceased trading! :'(

So just a little word of warning to others, IF (a big if) you purchase a kit or anything else for that matter on Ebay or any other auction site, please check the contents A.S.A.P !

Regards, Peter.

Think of it as an opportunity - to scratch build some interesting bits of the kit yourself.

I have never really trusted e bay auction site,if I want to buy some thing on e bay,I buy from a shop like,kjb or kitlady they are bona fida shops, and I usually go for the buy it now option.

If you buy some thing from a shop if some thing is wrong with it at least you have some come back,

I used to work for consumer services for a local authority,and it is always hard to get come back from a individual,as it is your word against theirs,and especially if it's second hand.

Sorry to be negative but they old saying comes in caveat emptor buyer beware.
