Does this one look correct? I'm not bidding on it, but just trying to learn! The rivet looks funny to me.

Ok, you guys lost me. I guess I missed an earlier post? It sold for $465 US, guess someone knew it was correct. The rivet just looked a little overworked to me.

Don't be so sure that this was 'right', I would be very cautious about anything this seller lists as rare!!

I guess I was being a little sarcastic. Meaning the someone who bought it must have at least thought it correct - I hope it is for his sake. I'll have to search for other posts concerning this seller, and remember his ID for future reference.

expect it to return soon such sellers with the aide of ebay swap items to their other identity or cohort to run the price up and make more fees they simply rent by the month on seller side
we peons cant compete as if you start a car off reasonable they make you sell it cheap or get no bids(not promoted/searched within the system) at all and still pay the 25% fees
I think 1/2 of the items cycle 5-6 x before a real buyer or relisted next season ...in most categories mom/pop have given up and the high $$$ rent a space are the ONLY thing keeping epay afloat

This seller is infamous for selling too many rare and hard to find models. While no one has properly exposed him on this forum, many of his models are highly suspect and some of his past sales involved tampered models. He has shown some of his very rare models on the forum and was even banned for claiming a green diplomat was an original when it was actually a Nik the Greek fake. There were problems with some of his other rares which he displayed here. The official watch word is "Avoid this seller."
It might be time to start my "Bucket List."
