Model Forum / General / Models / January 2008B-36 Squadron book - Which One Should I Buy ?? :-)
should I buy the one for $4.99 or $106.00 ??????????????????? (see last entry in list of books for sale) :-) me thinks I will get the cheap, used one.

I was just amazed as to the price for a Squadron book. Curious as to who would buy the $100 one.

Last year - maybe a half dozen to a dozen listings on Ebay for the same kit, more or less. They run the gambit from partially built disasters to mint/sealed/pristine boxed kits. One of them is mine - opened, but all of the contents sealed and complete and the box is perfect. The Buy It Now on a few listings is $25. Mine is an auction and it eventually goes for $60 to a guy in Ireland. No I'm not complaining, nor did I think it was a wise move at the time to ask the guy why he bought mine. Kind of wish I had, 'cause things like that always puzzle me. As a seller I have some pluses (selling worldwide, high positive feedback, fast shipping/goof packaging praise in the feedback, etc) - but nothing in my eyes that set my listing apart from the guy selling a sealed one for $35 less. Whatever it was, from what I recall of his feedback he was plenty pleased - so I guess he knew what he was doing. ;-) I guess the bottom line is price isn't always everything - but I've seen that Squadron B-36 book, and $4.99-$9.99 is about right. ;-) WmB >On Jan 17, 8:15=A0pm, some...@some.domain wrote: >> In article <321dd7de-ff02-4aca-9d29-d7af3babd...@u10g2000prn.googlegroups.= [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > >Craig more money than brains? obvious not a problem we have. > no debate intended.

The basic problem is that they are too small; they offer some help to modelers but not enough, due to their brevity. The B-36 one doesn't even have much info on the retractable gun turrets, which make a great addition to any model of it. Pat > should I buy the one for $4.99 or $106.00 ???????????????????

Pat goto usenet group 'alt.binaries.e-book.technical'. Saw a B-36 e-book posted for download (.pdf format),If you don't have a conscience. |
