One can be Lucky

Post by kerbside »

I bid on this item on Ebay this is the sellers advert for the model.

I got so excited when I won it, but when it arrived it was the one with a rear window :x :x I emailed the seller 4 times but no reply.
I then put in a claim through Ebay that bought a quick response, they said they would refund the purchase price but I had to pay the postage both ways.

Then I noticed the wheels were different sizes my one was 9x20 tread but this one was 8x18 tread, of course I cancelled the claim, some time you can get lucky :) :) :lol:

Well spotted George, glad it worked out. One of the best definitions of serendipity I ever heard was from Robert A. Heinlein. He said "Serendipity is when you dig for worms and find gold". It seems you found some gold. Congratulations.

If it wasn't for drugs, alcohol, and stupidity, I'd be out of work!

nice one George!
Please use a web hosting site (like photobucket) to store pictures so you can post them here, using attachments makes it hard to view the pictures when you have to scroll to see them. Seeing comparisons of models is hard to see with attachments too.
