Shameless promotion
I'm going to take this oppurtunity to brag about my money-saving habits shamelessly.
 Guiloy Mclaren F1 LM Prototype Ebay cost: $22.50 Real cost: $40? Maisto Jaguar XJ220 *(used) Ebay cost: $5.50 Real cost: $20 Autoart Lamborghini Murcielago * Ebay cost: $29.95 Real cost: $50 HW Dodge Viper SRT-10 Ebay cost: $10.50 Real cost: $20 HW Saleen S7 Ebay cost: $9.99 Real cost: $20 Maisto Ferrari F50 (used) Ebay cost: $4.00 Real cost: $20 Maisto Lamborghini Diablo (used) Ebay cost: $11.49 Real cost: $20 Maisto Lamborghini Murcielago Ebay cost: $12.99 Real cost: $20 I figure shipping to be about $9 average thats about $178 or with real cost: $282 I saved about $104 Of course some leeway has to be given bcs of the used models all of which were just fine. The f50 however came packed in a bag (really poor) and had a loose mirror that had to be fixed. Wasn't a big problem though. I've also gotten used to "refurbishing" these used cars and they usually look as good as new after a thorough cleaning. My basic conclusion is that ebay is the greatest store ever. If you search in the right way you can find really cheap deals. Several of the models above were bought cheaply bcs of misspellings such as "1:18th" which doesn't come up if the search includes "1:18". I think I've blathered enough. :frog:
