He wouldn't budge on the "local pick-up" thing & it was over 500 miles from me. I offered him much more than he was asking (it started at 99c with $5 buy it now) but he said "If it doesn't sell I'll donate it to a local club. The money isn't important."
Doesn't sell??? It was gone within the hour, surprise surprise affraid

I'm sure whoever got it will probably move it on for a handsome profit. As for me, all I wanted was one of these when I was 12. Poor farming family couldn't afford one & I ended up with a Testors P-40. I love the P-40 but it was a pain to keep in the air- rock on a string. It would have fulfilled a childhood dream for me. Sad

The unfortunate Rod.
