Very disapointing ebay purchase

Post by daz28 »

I purchased this lovely unique hand painted corgi land rover off the bay. I paid a five figure sum for it (£005.00)

I was over the moon till I noticed a spec of dust so I washed it in soapy water. well I was rather annoyed to find the paint coming off :x

well no turning back now, so I had to clean it all. maybe wont look too bad when the dust settles on it?

What a disaster! you must be gutted now that hand painted masterpiece is no more and you are left with a worthless near mint model, something you had not planned on owning. Yes, send it back for a full refund...
