I sent this email to GTO 74 about his auction. I just wanted to share it with you all.
I hope you further understand why I wanted that description change.

Although, most of your bidders should know what they are bidding for, how do I know that a bidder will bid a price, based on the complete item number 25056 and use a guess price for the complete item, only to learn later they got something imcomplete. I was new in the hobby at one time and made mistakes in my purchases, due to my trust in the seller. That's all. I hope you understand, as your boxcar by itself looks great. How much should it go for by itself, I have no idea, the bidders will decide that with the knowledge of what you have,repesentative of the item number and I am happy that you did the right thing. If it was a complete set with rocket, I would say it would go for $650 or higher. I will let you know I have emailed sellers of AF, when I think they said something, that may hurt the o bidding for their item and I feel the piece is fine and they should change it. Domino hopper is one piece, that has a factory flaw, that is a normal thing,as many pieces have that and should not lower the price for it. Look at a picture of it from Greenberg, above the star. I have one like that and I accept that. Man was very happy to hear that, as he though that was a bad thing on the car. I feel it is not, due to others I have seen like that and the quality control was not to be found at AC Gilbert in 1966.
