That is just one of the accounts Gary had used in his older Lesney and display listings years ago, no question in my mind.
The open toe variation is uncommon, but at that price I think he will live with it for a long while. It only has that very early arm on it, but that was carried on for quite some time before being changed. I would not hesitate to contact Gary today and congratulate him (from all of we Forum members Please) on him being able to get your model back from the Post Office Idris!! I think a public display of any problems is always the best bet towards resolution, so this is a Great start. I liked Gary, but Trust amongst Forum members over anything monetary is most important. If Gary was up front and honest about a change of heart on selling the model, it would have been tough, but honesty in any deal is much better for all concerned. If Gary has hurt any one of us in the past as he has Chris and in this case as well with pure dishonesty, we are all a bit damaged by his foul actions.
With the combined efforts of we Forum members, another open toe will be found for you Idris. In the meantime, I think Gary should receive no comfort while Selling your model publicly. Please let us know what we can do to help you out, and also Gary should be made aware that the Refuse Truck has now become the subject of a fresh Post on our Forum. I see your new Post on contacting E Bay on your behalf, Please let us know who, where, and how we may contact that huge organization on your behalf.
