I just won a rare Aoshima Technopolice 1/48 MBT-90D Mazurka Main Battle Tank kit on ebay for $15!!! I can’t believe it! [:)] I saw one of these go for over $40 in August. Another great deal I got this summer was Revell’s huge Robotech Defenders Commando kit, same thing as Takara’s Dougram Tequila Gunner 1/48 with a few extras for only $18. [:D] The one selling on ebay right now is at nearly $50.
So, what other steals and deals have y’all found on the 'bay?
I got a Revell 32nd scale Tony for 30.00,and a Tamiya Lancaster for 45.00. Thats the ones I can remember.
I hate to say it gentlemen but I scored the Black Hole Cygnus for $66 bucks. What makes it really cool is I was beaten out three times for the model at prices ranging from $120 to $155 dollars. Funny how fate works out some times. I think that this was like the 6th or 7th one in a row on ebay and all the guys who hadn’t won one yet didn’t want to jack up the price. I guess I got in there with the right bid at the last minute. Gotta love DSL. T.L.
“THIS IS MY GRACELAND”
While I haven’t had that elusive rare kit for cheap yet, I count myself lucky to buy the fiber optic DS9 kits for $9, pull the fiber optics out and sell the kits for $20… I’ve done it three times now…
I found my Trumpeter 1/32 A-10A N/AW kit on there for $45. Quite the steal! I also got the 1/48 Hasegawa F-14A “Wolf Pack” with both Verlinden sets (Cockpit and Super Detail) for $50. At least I was pleased. The wife…
I also picked up this really cool Go-Cart with Godzilla on it for only $25,000! Can you believe the bargain?!?[:p]

I bought a Kazon ship for 2.99 and my BoP for 5.00.
Well, it wasn’t on ebay, but the best internet deal I ever made was a Halcyon Nostromo that I bought from a guy online for $50. Couple of pieces had already been trimmed of flashing, but otherwise like new. Heck it still had the sales receipt inside the box for when he bought it new for $125. I couldn’t have been happier.

I got Tamiya’s Honda S-800 sports car for $5.

You can find some amazing things on ebay, that’s for sure. I know some good deals are being had because I’m providing them! I’m selling over 25 kits on ebay right now, all with $1.00 starting bids and I have over 200 still to list! No sci-fi this time, but many cars and trucks. It’s hard to go wrong for a buck…
OOPS… did I say “trucks”? I meant planes.
Planes…
For a sci-fi kit, it was the V.I.N.CENT robot from Black Hole for $20. For a regular kit, it was a toss up between the 1/32 Airfix M3 Lee and the 1/24 ITC T-92 Airborne Drop Tank for $24.99.
Edit: BTW I still have my old Robotech Defenders Commando kit. That’s the big huge camel looking thing with a turret and platforms on each side? Great kit.
I picked up the old Monogram rereleases of their Willy Ley 50’s space kits for $10 bucks-4 kits. Not a great deal, but it meant a lot to me. I had built all the kits as a kid, and it was nice to have them back again.
I keep hoping I’ll find a good deal on the new Academy 1/32nd scale F/A-18C…

Badger 100sg airbrush with compressor, with no bids and barely used, for $15.
If you know your airbrushes then you know other companies buy from the brand name airbrush companies as a kit and sell rotten compressor in that kit that make the airbrush run terrible. That Badger is listed under the name of a fingernail airbrush company and is a Badger double action 100sg.
A second great find at Ebaby was an Iwata HP-B under another company name that deals in foods…only $14.
I suppose compressor, a medium grade compressor, that came with the Badger is nice to have around but I don’t know if I will ever use it because my main compressor is far too nice, a Silentaire A20. Maybe I’ll sell that back up airbrush compressor on Ebay and make a profit on my Badger buy!
Welcome to the FSM forums roosterfish. Great buy for $15.00. I hope you have fun with them.

last month I won the Darth Vader Tie fighter kit from MPC Ertl for $5
Again, this wasn’t ebay, but. Around a year ago at a car boot sale I bought a box of model bits, all very old. Got it home & found all the bits for a flying sub from voyage to the bottom of the duck pond, sorry, sea. It had been assembled once, but over time the glue had weakened. It’s still sitting here in a bag, as I found it. I assume it’s the original Aurora?, yellow hull & silver interior bits, all the major parts are there, lots of small ones too. Maybe one day I’ll get around to building it, I found some good pic’s on the net. Unless someone out there really wants it badly? In which case, offers to my email address, goodness knows what the postage will be from Saudi.
