No I don't think so, base was loose no driver . Probably go in the bin somewhere , if it gets on eBay again it will be easy to trace.
Just a shame , seller said they went straight to the depot with a prepaid sticker. Maybe someone made them a better offer they could not refuse. J

They're much rarer than the powder blue version: it's only the third red-on-red Beach Hopper that I know of.

Seller has now relisted the red buggy that was lost in the post.At least I know it did not go in the bin.

If same seller has relisted it then it is basically fraud.He has implied that he posted the item - it got lost- so you are forced to claim from the PO - he has committed or caused fraud against the PO to occur. I would lodge a complaint with Ebay ? showing all emails etc. probably thinks he will get a higher price mate.

If it's fraud and you feel you can prove it, go to the police.

The parcel did not actually get lost in the post, when I received the package it was in a bag from the post office stating it had been opened(but the model was lost). The package was prepaid so all he had sent me was a ripped open jiffy bag.
I just wish he had been honest and said he wanted to resell, he has also waited until the listing has gone off eBay .
I still have the bag and paperwork, just makes me laugh what lengths people goto.Strangely enough I had to make an offer but the seller has banned me for some strange reason.
