Update
So the guy sends me an email at 0738 Sunday morning saying we can meet at 1100-1200, well I got the email at 1050 so no way I was going to make it so I tell him most likely time would be 1500-1600, just to send me a time and location. No response
I then proceed to refresh my search and Holly S..T, the model of my childhood dreams, and another from my adult geek hood and dare say maybe my first resin model posted and still for sale?
So now my choice is this: the dream and my first? Or 1 kit I wanted in my stash, 1 was and simple interesting build, the last one was going to be my first Return?
No choice what so ever! I contact the 2nd seller, get the details from him and say”done deal”. Set up time and location, never even considered negotiating for a better price, that’s how good of a deal this was.
I contact seller 1, tell him, that I am out of town and I won’t be back until 2300, so I will contact him next week if they are still available.
About 20 minutes latter I get a cell call from seller 2, and he is going to be in my area, and do I want to make the deal today? Hell yes and at 1745, in the loading dock of a hospital, deal brokered!
I now have, a 1997 revel monogram Battlestar Galactica, Viper mark 1, a Moebius Viper mark II, and a eBay purchased cast resin Viper mark 1, and he even threw in a partial built, scale 1:1 Luger
