Maybe this seller has already been discussed or not. I think the lack of number of photographs in this person's auctions reeks of amateur and raises some alarm bells.

Isn't that one of Touch-up Tim's ebay accounts? If so, stay away, if not sorry for the confusion.

Yes i think i met TUT at Birmingham last year at the NEC show, NOT a likable chap and refused to speak to me when i started to question him about wether an uneven load RW37a Karrier Bantam was a repaint. I am sure it was him. One to avoid. Cant beleive that ebay still let him get away with it.

Strange also that his feedback is not peppered more with negs. Here's another that seems a tad fishy...

Since it's being sold by Harvey, I think we can safely assume that it's genuine (and overpriced).

Harvey is a good guy who likes to show off his collection on line rather than sell it, hence the high price tags.

Thanks motorman, Good info to know. I can understand one flaunting top shelf pieces with some sabre rattling on-line. I also noticed the absence of 'best offer' which confirms a non-negotiation scenario. Bet he still gets pestered with emails.
