I had a interesting and pleasant thing happen to me yesterday. There was a BBR Ferrari ............
250 GTO in 1:43 scale I had been watching all last week. It was done in matte black. Very different and nice looking. It had a buy it now for $325.00 and the bidding started at $199.00. Well I had to leave the house and I knew I would miss the ending of the auction, so I hurries and put in a bid. Well I got home and found I had won the model. But I hit the buy it now button instead of the bid button as I hurried. No one else had bid on the model. At first I was not sure why the model cost $325.00 When I had bid a little ove $200.00. I emailed the seller GTVEXPRESS and ask him what the heck was going on. I thought he was messing with me. Well after talking to him I realized what I had done. I could have won the model for $199.00 but instead had to pay $325.00 Well the seller did not have to do anything at this point, but he emailed me back and said he would split the differance between $200.00 and the $325.00 saving me a little over $60.00. I could not believe he would do this, he did not have to. So I was happy yo accept his generous offer. Very nice thing for this seller to do. I just thought with all of crap that goes on with ebay and sellers and bad buyers this was a nice story with a nice ending. We both ended up happy and I will buy models from this person because of his actions. Anyway just wanted to share that story, I thought it quite amazing.THANK YOU TO GTVEXPRESS. RANDY

#1- Thanks, Randy. It's good to hear a positive comment about eBay dealers.
#2- Are you starting to feel the pressure of daily activities? Are stress factors growing? Do you have iron-poor tired blood? Remember, we're not getting younger!
