I have bid before,and won, and not heard it for a week later. Not having time to check my emails everyday, I dont catch it, and then ebay bans me for a week or two. I have found a couple peeple on it who are good sellers, and they will privately email me when they want to part with a kit, or whatever.
Ditto, not a bidding fan. The sellers expect you to place post-its all over your house, so that you can remember to pay them exactly when you "win", if that's really winning anything.

There's a lot of them where I feel like making a good offer, knowing they won't get their absurd price. Not worth the effort from what I understand though. They're either realistic about pricing or unrealistic. Not a fan of people wanting to make it rich by selling stuff they bought for 5 bucks. Some of the kits there actually have writing saying something like 5 bucks on them, which is all that they paid a few days ago at a garage/estate sale for them.
There's a B29 right now that's missing the "outer body", whatever that means.

EBIDX%3AIT Looks like the cocpit glass is missing, but you can only barely see what appears to be a tiny corner of a parts sheet, so there's no telling what else may be missing. Not worth the 100 bucks at this point though. I'm not into paying to scratchbuild, which is what got me onto Guillows kits in the first place, since all the glass and detail parts were in the box.
I recently paid good dollar for a Sterling Citabria, since the seller bothered to upload photos of the parts showing that everything was there. I couldn't see them, and there was a tube of obviously used glue in the box, which is a really bad sign. Turned out the glue was hard as a rock.

When they won't respond to emails asking for proof of contents then I'll pass. No Ebay burner box wanted thank you. I've had them say that I'm supposed to trust them before, while half of them have no idea in the first place about what's supposed to be in the box.
