I am happy that he changed his description of the car, to reflect the missing piece, as some of you didn't understand my point. In principle, the item was mis-represented and the man, if he didn't know about it, didn't to bother to write me back, questioning my email, as I wrote him a very polite and respectful email on it.
Yes, to someone who knows AF, they will bid according to what the boxcar itself is worth and I can't answer that. To someone who doesn't know it is missing a major piece, the other car and rocket, may bid on it, with a bid based on the entire piece. Maybe a person might call someone and ask what a piece may be on the item number itself, if they had no books and were new into flyer like I was at one time. That's all. That was my whole purpose of this, not that it has a bid of 400 dollars and Tony, emotions has nothing to do with this. Something that reflect an item number whether a train, a auto part, a lamp kit, anything, should be reflective of everything in that box. That is it and I am done with it. I will email the seller and thank him for adding that bit about the car. Thank you and I will now "light my fire" with Jim Morrison playing in the background, Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan Brindell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, January 15, 2003 7:19 PM Subject: Re: [S-Trains] Re: Another mis-lead Ebay item > I noticed that the seller has now updated the item description, pointing out > that the other car is missing.
