by screwing the seller , is not paying for the item, you bid thinking its some special one of a kind item, obviously its not<br><br>what you dont understand is you thought you got something special, came on here asking opinions, well as you can see the concensus is its a repaint.<br><br>so if everyone who buys something on ebay then asks for opinons on wether its real or not should take that info from RLOL and not pay is WRONG<br><br><font size="2" face="Arial"><br><br></font><br>
don't want to come off as calling you out or anything of that nature & not to seem disrespectful . but you have been on this board since 03(checkedyour profile).you aren't new to this ,so i would think if that animal exists - we (cuz ,i have been here a while myself)would have at least heard about ithere. or ,i would bet it would have been seen here .again ,no offense intended !(we all know how computers make any statement seem cold).just my .02

After winning I emailed a couple friends on the board & theyconfirmed (or do I say burst my ballon lol) that it was fake. The reason I didn't ask here on the board before bidding, was that I hoping to catch one thatmay have flown "under the wire". Luckily the seller refunded my money & all was well.<br><br>
You owe it to yourself and to the board to pay for it and see for yourself if it is real.<br>You also owe it to the seller to pay for it.

IF you're sure it's a repaint. Don't pay the seller. Why waste each others time? Tell him about this board. He can get his final value fee returned by filing a non-paying alert against you. He will need to wait 7 days. After 7 days, he can click the option where you both MUTUALLY agree to NOTcomplete the deal. Ebay will send you an email . You click that yes, you do NOT want to complete the deal. He gets his 2nd fee back and you do NOT get anon-paying strike. <br>He can relist. (You can never get your initial listing fee back.)<br>Email the guy and with his ZERO feedback , tell him to relist the car as a repaint. That car has repaint written all over. I'm surprised that it went formore than 10-15 dollars. It looks like they used testors paint.. Anyway, sometimes, bidders do not see things as they really are. <br><br><br>maribell
My 2¢. The two base shots showing the rivets look like before and after shots. The rivets do not look the same to me in those two pictures. The first"flash" shot shows what appear to be standard US flat head rivets, the second shot shows what I think may be dome-headed rivets (rerpos). I may bewrong, but that's what I noticed.

Also the rivets look smaller in the indoor pics. Anyone else?<br>
I dont know much about rivets but I know flash and the indoor 1 is that way because of the flash (at least in my opinion).The flash highlights the higher partof the base and the sides that slope away or arent in the flash area are darker. This is just what I think.
