Is this eBay seller serious?

It seems that people are finding out that well weathered models - some are masterpieces - are selling for big bucks on eBay. So many are trying to cash in on this phase by offering such poorly done models that should not be considered for anything but the scrap pile. <br /> <br />Also do an eBay search on "FSM" - which are the initials of Fine Scale Miniatures line of fine craftsman kits. Seems many eBay sellers are just adding the intials FSM in their auction titles so searches will show up their auctions. <br /> <br />One fellow was offering HO scale small scenes and vehicles that he described something like the diesels that are offered in this thread - finely weathered, details added, etc. The same thing here - mostly plain simple models that have had a wash of some brown slop and declared to be "weathered". I just pity the poor suckers who get taken in by these scams, and it can hurt the legitimate modelers who do offer quality work. <br /> <br />Bob Boudreau
