If the buyer pushes it, he gets the dio for $13.50. This is a chicken-shit way of doing business. Not to mention that dio looks like a middle school class project. I have made many dioramas and sold them on ebay (at true auction) 2 of which went for over $500. I would not give the $13.50 winning bid for this one. But thats just me. __________________ "It ain't about how hard you hit, but how hard you can get hit, how much you can take and keep moving forward - thats how winning is done!" Rocky Balboa

You can report any auction to ebay, at the bottom of every auction is report this item. He will get canned, a buyer will not read the description and turn him in. I am suprised it has not happened already. To the buyer beware. __________________ "It ain't about how hard you hit, but how hard you can get hit, how much you can take and keep moving forward - thats how winning is done!" Rocky Balboa

Haha Vader, you need too realize "good set" in G.I. Joe terms is different from any modeling hobby. It all goes back to a guy with "AMAZING DIOS" (that are never announced here

) who's foamboard sets became the #1 influence.

Exactly you pay $13.50 for the privilege of paying him to make one for you for $107.25.
