You really take your chances when you buy from someone whom does not know about the product(s) they are selling. The sellers not knowing is exampled in; (MINT CONDITION NO RUST AT ALL., missing rails and pulling hooks, I am not a TRAIN EXPERT and his not knowing the manufacturer)! Plastic don't rust! Most "laymen" know that locos and rolling stock are connected with couplers, not pulling hooks! <br /> <br />These locos are likely from Lindberg. If the first photo is from the ebay sales site, they are iffy as far as detail. <br /> <br />The seller may not be intentionally ripping off the buyer! He is selling to the highest bidder and the terms are Caveat Emptor or buyer beware! If you are really unhappy with what you bought, the seller suggests contacting him, have you tried this? Also, bad feed back should be left for true instances where someone has been ill treated or truly ripped off! I don't see that here. Did the buyer pay to much? Likely. Did the seller rip him off? Certainly not intentionally. Did the buyer use due diligence? No. <br /> <br />Spacemouse, You could sell the items on Ebay to recoup some or all of your money. I suggest being up front with the listing. You can re-motor and/or repair and use. Does this one incidence mean all ebayers are crooks and only stupid idiots buy stuff on ebay? If so, I must be a crooked idiot then!
