Southgate 2 You're not alone. I just recieved an Ebay item, Pocher (late 60's AHM-Riv.) JW Bowker, described as "Looks unused?" The question mark leaving a little room for error. Single blurry picture on description of reflective cello window hides a missing front wheel and drive line, obvious when holding it in hand. And that, I noticed before opening it up further and finding other obvious signs of wear and minor breakage-damage. Sez seller doesn't take returns, but I contacted him to request a partial refund. We'll see... Dan

That'll be quite alright if you get to keep the engine , no?
I decided that the seller, not being a mrr wouldn't have spotted the flaws, and upon closer inspection, it wasn't missing details, they were never there on that early version . It's actually in pretty good shape for a 55 year old plastic body model. I have the missing front wheel rim and can make the drive shaft. I'm good with it.
Simon, I almost fell for that empty box trick once. That would have been some EXPENSIVE air! Dan
I've seen that happen with brass train boxes, start out low but are auctions so some people probably bought some really pricy foam and carboard.
UPS has not given any updates and the claim has disappeared from the dashboard. I still can find it, but I can't do anything...
well, got my return approved. now I just have to find a replacement.
