What would you pay?

Are you actually planning on completing this model or is it gong to be a stash or hangar queen? This might be your last chance to get it. Bid what you think you can afford and how much it is worth to you. Without this component, the rest of the kit won't be worth much, will it?

I agree with sub. Sure, some day the planets might line up and you find another. But then again, they just might not. A few months ago I found a DFS 230 kit on E-bay that I had been looking for for a few years. But I lost my connection the weekend it was due to finish and it went for £10. A week alter another came up. This one I was determined to have, and it cost me £30. Ye I was a bit miffed that I had payed 3 times the other one, but that was out weighed by the fact that I finally had it.

I know you have plans to build it, so as long as you can afford it and you can justify it to yourself, then that's the main thing.

As the saying goes. Something is only worth what someone is ready to pay for it.

Hey subfixer,

Yes I will build this kit.  Have had big plans for it since I got it way back when.  I now have a set amount I have in mind and about 40 minutes to see if I get it!  And you are right.  The kit isn't worth much without the tower part.  It just sits there in a box.

Hey Bish,

Wise words from the Jedi Master!   I have had that happen on eBay many times too.  That is having me lean a little on the high side for this.  We shall see!  I'll let everyone know how it turns out in about 45 minutes!  Thanks my friend!

Well it looks like the planets lined up this time!!  

I payed $4 more than the original bid I wanted to spend, but hey, I would have been kicking myself over $4!!!  So, now I have it!  Although the PayPal payment says "unclaimed".  Not sure what that means, but if I remember correctly, eBay/PayPal changed things up and have a policy that if you have less than 25 (I think) feedbacks, I have to receive the item before the seller gets payed.  Oh well, it will all work out.

Although quite fiddley and complex the tower section could probably scratch built if worst cane to worst. I think that it would be mainly a collection of evergreen structural styrene.

I had thought about that too.....but not sure I could handle it!

In general, if you really want something, remember what my father-in-law told me many years ago:  "There are no side pockets in coffins."

I'm glad that you dished out the extra four bucks and got it. Now, Build it!

Hey subfixer,

I would if I could!  I'm STILL waiting to hear from the seller!    Over 24 hrs and nothing, and to top it off, when I paid with PayPal, it reads "unclaimed" on it!  I have a feeling that the planets were NOT quite aligned as previously thought.  Oh well, we shall see.  I still have a "cancel" button there too, so who knows.  Just be aware of a seller named "aviationmodeler"!

Good news!  Seller contacted me last night and it was an issue with the link between eBay and PayPal apparently.  He quickly fixed the issue and all seems well now.  It should be shipped today or tomorrow.  Seller was really nice in his e-mail so I would like to retract the previous "be aware" statement.  I can't wait to FINALLY have all the parts to this huge kit!
