Hello... My name is Jesse... and I have problem. OK, so this die-cast Mustang thing wasn't bad enough when I only had Department Stores, Toy Stores and Hoobby shops to scour in my area like a ravenous dog every time my g/f and I went into a store. I have now found eBay, ohhhh nelly how bad was that!!! Anyway I am on a 5 year long mission looking for a 1/18 scale GMP Florida Highway Patrol Mustang. I lost an ebay auction today when some douche bag came in with literally 5 seconds left and jacked the bid $10. So I lost

At any rate if anyone has a line on one of these cars please let me know, I am desperately seeking one.


Thanks
Jesse

 

Jesse, I hate when that happens. I'll keep my eyes open for you.
You could google diecasts but, that adds to more places to buy stuff!!! Danny

 

i just lost an eBay auction by 12 seconds 2 days ago!
I didnt have enough time to bid back

I'll keep an eye out if you keep an eye out for Thunderpants (click on my signature link)

 

did a search, and couldnt fine one for sale. Just a bunch of people showing off theirs

The model looks awesome!

I just got a "second chance" email from ebay allowing me to buy the item at my highest bid, has anyone heard of this before?

And thanks Zepplin, those are the most detailed pics I've seen yet

 

Yup, I've had second chance offers before. Go for it if you like the price

I've had at least two of those second chance offers. Haven't turned one down. This happens when: 1)The auctioner has another one for sale and he is willing to sell it to you, or 2) the person who won the auction you lost is not going to pay for the item, or 3) maybe, just maybe, the auctioner has another account and bid on his own auction to make sure his item didnt sell for too low.

 

ahhhh, I see. THanks for the insight. I was worried because I am new to eBay and have heard about the scams.

Also thanks for the compliments on my ride... I think she is gonna stay here at the house while I am in England. I have to much time, money, creativity and sweat in this car. I already sold my Mystic for this move, don't want to lose both my babies

Thanks
Jesse

 

EXACTLY WHAT WHAT HE SAID THAT HOW I GOT MY JAMES BOND MUSTANG 1/8TH SCALE. IT WAS A SECOND CHANCE OFFER.

 

how much is the car selling for??

 

I bid $130

 

From what I have seen in websites, the car costed around 90 dollars when it wasnt discountinued, so $130 seems like a fair price.

 

Just found this on ebay

Thanks for the link man, I love this stuff!!!!

It's kinda funny, a day after my first offer I got a "second chance" email from the sender/ ebay and was able to purchase this bad boy. But now (a week later) there are like 3-4 on ebay. There was a drought for a while now there are tons??? Irony I suppose.


thanks again
Jesse

 

That's usually the way things go.
