Ebay is a bit queer at the moment, my SB didn't fetch what I would have liked (only £31  )
I once saw a Dolittle Raider B-25 with a starting bit of £60 sell. $120 for the most boring Mitchell ever? Come On! |
Value (what am I willing to pay for it?), Conversion rates (a weak dollar does really make a difference!), and Shipping (does it cost more to ship it here than I paid for the actual model?). These are all considerations I look at whenever I buy from ebay. I know how you feel Wespen - I was really interested in your SB B-24 but 2 out of the 3 considerations were against it ( and no, it wasn't consideration #1 - your price was more than fair!).
This hobby can put one into the poor house! I'm trying to enjoy it while trying to maintain some fiscal responsibility. Ebay is just too unpredictable - still, I have found some real bargains recently.
