You see this is the kit I have, same model # too, new in the box 1255.00 euro, sorry.
I've backed up my words care to try doing the same. Nah then you'd have to eat crow and explain why you have this need to discredit my add.

I`m from Belgium and i know this seller. I sometimes wonder if there`s anybody out there who will pay his price. This seller, Best balsa kits, has completely lost it. Look at his other prices and you`ll understand. This is not someone who is into modelling, this is a businessman who want`s to make a lot of money out of other peoples hobby. So this is not really a realistic link.
Don`t misunderstand me, i`m just replying to the link you posted, i`m not saying anything about the price you`re asking for your kit, that is your choice. I`m loose all interest in a kit once i read that it is started on.
To me, and i think to many other builders, a kit how rare and expensive it might be, is completely worthless once it is started on.

just my 2 cents

"Yes", was the answer. My reply then was well if your not expecting to spend at least 50,000 (Thats dollars BTW) don't bother me again! So ya bought some parts of the Entex kit, eh. Hmmm Did you get enough parts to build one kit? Sounds like you didn't. Want to part with an exhaust tube since you have so many? And I guess if ya do you won't want much for it as according to you, you got a (what) oh ya stash of them kits. BTW Mr. I watch Ebay auctions a lot, did you know John Player 1/8th F1 decals alone are going for $130.00..on Ebay. What year ya in man, what year..Peace

Hello,
sorry,but i didn`t know that you are a Master Builder and,maybe,the best scratchbuilder in the world.
Wow!

You are sure the emperor of china.
Wow!

Sorry that i said i have 3 entex 1/8 scale cars at home!
I was a defect of my old eyes.
Sorry about that!

Sorry,that you know better than i,how many parts my kits have!

Sorry,that you are watching ebay auctions where entex cars where sold for a lot of money.
Sorry,that all other guys here are so stupid and only see it when they sell for less money.
Sorry man....excuse me....your honest emperor of china!

Sorry,that you know better than i how much a new decal sheet is.
I thought i have paid 49€ for it?But i must be wrong when,the emperor of china,says that it must be 130$.
My fault!
Here is a link,but it must be a fake because of the price of 49€???

Ironic mode off!

I didnt wont to discredit your post!
I only want to show in which price range the entex or eidei grip kit is.
I know that wim in belgium wants more than 1275€ for one.
If you want to pay that price......i cant help you.
But if you think you will become a price like that,try it.

But dont talk to me like an idiot,man!
Your answers says a lot about you.There is nothing more to say about you.

@Ildottore:
I know Wim from two other modeling boards.I think he is not only a buisness man,of course he is one,but he is also a modeling fanatic in my eyes.
He do trans kits and make decal sheets for older kits.
He also gaves some goodies to some modeling users.If you didnt find some old decals and Wim read about it,he often gaves it for free!
I know that his prices are sometimes between good and evil,but you didnt have to buy from him.
If you want to have an rare kit,he has it.

I edited my posting here,because of my agitation when i read the posting from the emperor of china.


kind regards

christian,
I must say even I am laughing you are very funny, witty and I don’t doubt your intelligence, eyesight and sleuthing are all in pristine condition so let it be said for all to hear, “The Emperor of China surrenders.” However, all words I’ve written about myself are true, perhaps my choice of words directed towards you and your words are all based more on a big misunderstanding.

You see the items I have up for trade are all between $150.00 - $250.00, except 1, and I ask a little money, it keeps the door open for negotiation in a trade, but doesn’t mean $$ have to be involved. I told and shared the link and EBay info about the kit just to show it was valuable, rare and worth building, though started (and very little at that, just the early body assembly stuff.)

So take a trade say worth 150 to 250 and add a few $$ and I’m basically asking $300.00 for this kit in Canadian $$ but I would rather trade it for something.

Like think this, I have such a desire for machined steam engine kits that if someone went on the net and found one for 200 and sent me a pic and said I have one of these would you swap? I would say sure after doing my research, even knowing it was worth only 200 if I wanted it I would swap. So I think even you would agree this is a fair price for this kit? My original ad still sits as first posted and the words spoken here validate that ad, and that was I never was asking an unrealistic price for this kit nor under minding the modelers on this forum in the first place. So I hope you can agree this was clearly a misunderstanding.

I will apologize if you felt I talked to you like an idiot, but I will tell you an idiot I never once thought you were. But I am what I am, I have been building from scratch and or kits everyday of my life for 50 years.

Regards,

Ronald

What's going on here lads????
Surely we're all just big kids who play with plastic kits?
Let's just enjoy it.
I'm sure nobody meant any offence to anyone.
Niggling over????
