I think the LHS has a few of those kits yet to be sold.. I suggest going to walthers.com and finding the kit in question. Then clicking the link to "Hobby Shops who have recieved this item in the past " Whew..... then emailing each one of them and ask if they do have the item. Be prepared to wait a day as all the responses come flooding in. Many will offer a price and shipping. Usually it will be a bit less than MSRP. I do this from time to time to acquire some really OOP items. Regarding the sniping.. 5 seconds tells me that this buyer may have been on Cable or Fast DSL. I can do 4 seconds with preloaded bid confirm screens but that is extreme. The server needs just a bit of 3 seconds to record and send results. The auctions isnt over until the fat lady sings. So line up your target decide what to spend max and enter it at 4 seconds to go. You need a good stopwatch synced to the Ebay LOCAL time... NOT your desktop, computer, house clock or anything else. Dont use software to snipe.. ebay is working to make it somewhat illegal. And... dont worry... some chumpith will pay far more than resonable in really hot wars. Let em fight over it.. the seller will win.
