And the price of brass continues to grow...

What, exactly did you read that offended you so? That I couldn't figure it all out. Nowhere did I insult or question you.

You already forgot??... here is helpful reminder. None of your business to worry about if i sold it away eBay or trying to figure out what i did.

“However military service has nothing to do with model trains”
And neither do vintage muscle cars. But you brought that up not me.

[smartestmanonearth]

If any of you were so worried about what i was doing you could have clicked the “ask seller a question”and i would have gladly told you.

However i know that would have not given you the chance to do your common MO and talk garbage about people. If you guys all put that effort into building your models and layouts you would really have something spectacular

Well if you read and comprehend what i wrote you would see where it was relevant. Explained what i did and will be focusing my time. It also explained that a 4200 car went up in value, comparing the model trains that most of you whine and cry are loosing value or too expensive, depends on the day of the week. Go back and reread it again i didnt use any big words and will be happy to elaborate anything you dont understand.

Yeah, what? Were you selling a Max Gray MT for $5000, or was it already sold when you listed it?

Thanks man, nice to now be able to put a face with your postings...

Holy freakin cannoli... are you kidding me? Here i will type this really slow so its easier to comprehend...

No... it...did....not.... sell....for.....5....thousand.....dollars....

No it was not sold before i put them on ebay, why would anyone do that. All your questions were already answered.

By the way it was us hobbies as well, you guys cant even comprehend the brand from the listing....

To help with further of the same question i am going to translate below a few popular languages.

In Spanish

No, no se vendió por 5 mil dólares

Russian
Нет, он не продал за 5 тысяч долларов
Polish
No to nie sprzedał za 5000 dolarów
Hebrew
la sh la namchr abur 5000 doler
German
Nein, es hat nicht für 5 Tausend Dollar verkauft

If anyone else needs it translated to another language, let me know because english seems to not be working on this site

And bob being a pilot I would think your comprehension would be far greater than average. Makes me want to rethink my travels by air in the future.

SME,

Comprendo. Been a while since I sold on the Bay, but sellers used to be able to end listings (without penalty or paying final value fees) by using a statement like: There was an error in the listing, or in the case of a business person like you, by noting on the listing that the item is also for sale at their business, and stating that it sold there. Better than a live listing hanging out there when the item is gone, even with a silly starting price on it like 5K! You never know what some fool might do!

Car looks nice, but I don't care for those low profile tires...looks like a low rider...I can hear that song now! LOL

You still can do that.

Well I do not like the way ebay does things either (unfortunately they do not consult me for my opinions) and there was no easy way to remove the listings which it even told me I would be charged, (years ago you are right it could have been removed easily at no cost, which unfortunately the world does not stand still except in o scale brass imports) so it would have been an extra $320+ on something already paid to them once. Yes there was still a chance of a boy genius bidding on it at 5k (higher chance of a brilliant forumite from here) but that could have easily been cancelled, tried to do it the easiest way so most “normal thinking individuals” would not bid and understand, however I have been proved you cannot do much of anything without someone having a better answer for how you should accomplish it in the O scale world... especially here. It amazes me with the vast knowledge that so many have here, that they spend all day and night critiquing everything, seriously if i had all the answers most do here wow I’d be so rich I’d burn any bill under a $100. Thing I can’t understand is why not use this vast business knowledge they have and buy something like northwest shortline and help the o scale community rather than piss in the cheerios of others that do. While most of you sit here with one finger in nose and other hen pecking the keyboard late at night trying to figure out the next funny way to bash someone, i am out in the shop castings or painting til 1-2 in morning after putting in 10-12 hours in my main businesses, so then you guys wonder why people get pissed off when they read smug crap written here. Like i said if it was so important to know anyone could have clicked the ask seller a question on ebay and would have told you, but it wouldn’t have been such a gut buster to post here then. Then like i said before scratch heads why the hobby is in the shape it is like the poll in OSR. Shocking!?!? Yes I have regrets even buying the businesses I have to help this community...not for the work involved in late nights, but the way people act, talk to you, copy your products and find a way to smear you for the simplest thing where most of the time they are wrong and later apologize to me but not fix what they did online.

The car was built to be sold, it doesn’t necessarily reflect the way I want a car. In fact my daily go to driver in muscle car is my 67 427/425HP bone stock corvette. Again like my weathering when you are doing things for profit, you build and do things for the masses and thats the style people pay for currently, had i built it a bone stock Chevelle like 2railjon showed, it would have topped in the 60-80’s. The pictures are just the car without air in the airbags, it actually rides same height or even higher than a stock Chevelle... so you dont Need the lowrider song on radio, in fact i preferred the exhaust sounds from the 572ci 720HP crate motor it has.

Good to know so as not to ever set up a Business Acct!

I'll go back to building models now.......

[bob turner]

Man! How did we set that off? Should I be insulted? Cancel my flight this morning? The FAA just told me VFR not recommended, so . . .
I think they have pills for that.

Maybe this fits the occasion Bob.
