Sparky's NIB Sand Scorcher is For Sale.

[sparky]

Guys,

My NIB Sand Scorcher is for sale. It's a complete kit in excellent condition with all blisters sealed - a real gem. The Box is also in excellent condition with no tears or rips. It is looking for a good home. Please check it out in my showroom.

I will accept $1300 for this and will ship anywhere and pay shipping and handling myself.

Or - as I do not have an Ebay account (I have bought on ebay - but don't sell, nor do I wish to have an ebay account) I will offer someone else $200 to post this on ebay for me (ebay costs to come out of this too). The only requirement is that the minimum purchase price is $1200 and the buyer would have to pay shipping then.

So let me know if interested in one of these options. By the way, although I'm new to posting in the showroom I have bought from and sold items to other members on this forum - Simensays has my older Wild Willy and I think he can attest that he received this vintage piece for a fair price.

You may view the Sand Scorcher in my showroom - thanks, look forward to responses soon as I would like to move this item to a good home relatively soon. []

Best Regards,

Sparky

I'm not 100% positive, but if you need an eBay account. I can setup an auction for you for the $200 surcharge, of course minus all fees and again if the auction reaches the 1200$

I am fluent with HTML and can give your auction a little "pep". Let me know if you want to do this or would rather wait a bit to see if anyone here is intersed.

E-mail me if you would like to work something out. Jester.Race@Verizon.net

Hi JesterRace,

Let's give this a couple days to see if anyone at Tamiya Club is interested in buying this outright. If after 2-3 days there is no response - you may post it on ebay. I will contact you at that time.

Thank you for your assistance,

Sparky.

Isnt that against Ebay rules technicaly? Selling an item you dont own for a third party? MAybe not but i dont want anybody getting into trouble. []

I was just looking in the seller rules. I can't find anything that would prohibit this type of sale. I have sold things for other people before. If it was me, I wouldn't feel comfortable selling an item unless it was sitting right in front of me and I would be the one shipping it to the winning bidder. It's my ebay feedback on the line not the persons who I am selling the item for.

While a $200 commission for selling is tempting, realize that Ebay would impose a hefty fee that in the end rounds out to about 6-7% of the sale. To get the maximum ending price for the auction you would want to have the ability to accept paypal but they would take their 3% slice of the pie also.

And if you take into account that PayPal is an eBay company you can conclude that eBay is taking about 10% of your money with a big smile...

Selling an item for someone else - thats an ebay Trading Assistant. so it has to be legal.
