That is a really neat set. I couldn't afford it but it is nice all the same.

The seller is a shall I say "not too reputible" guy. I had dealings with him, never again.

Wheres the Red Snowmobile? for that kinda price find one. Half his crap never sells, I don't know how he keeps doing it, overpriced thing after overpriced thing.

Then again, you could always get some white Krylon and spray away.:)

Might have to give this a try. Shouldn't be to hard cleaning the rails. :rolleyes: rr

Looks like no one else could justify spending a grand on it either.

I know this isn't the place for it but a friend of mine just sold me a set. This is NOT complete. I have 1 snowmobile and a bunch of track. I still need to go through to even see what I have.

I need to take this offline though because as I said this isn't the correct forum for this and I don't want to upset anyone by not following the rules.

If you would like to yap with me about this just pm me.

Cheers,
Xence

Ahh, but what are you going to do for the ice (translucent-clear plastic) wiggle track?

Ditto that, read his descriptions carefully, always more pictured and implied than you actually get. One would think if 4 snowmobiles were pictured and the starting bid was > $1K, you would get 4, but NO, that's only BIN..... Also, nothing about if those snowmobiles or chassis are "restored" - i.e. glued back together with whatever patch plastic is around to "mint condition". With this kind of markup one sucker buying every now and then will pay lots of listing fees.

Mr. Boosa answers emails before the sale, not necessarily after.....

My God,years ago I threw out a snowmobile set and the bodies,
just saved the chassis.
