"Won" this on eBay last Sunday:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370185087657&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:US:1123

A good price on what would have been a very nice car. Pictures are what arrived in the mail today. It didn't ship for an entire week. "Professional packaging and handling" must mean packed in Target bags and stuffed into what amounts to a Kleenex box. The kick in the groin is the fact that there is not a single speck of glue on the wing posts or anywhere else. Already contacted the seller and requested a refund. It's going to take some serious effort to remain civil and honest should it require a PayPal claim to resolve. I've gotten my share of "turds" off eBay, but this one just takes the cake.

Let's hope they stand by their words....

Maybe, maybe not. Sorry Tim!! I've had "professionally packaged bodys" show up in bubble envelopes.. Makes me wonder if there is any intelligent life out there... Joe

Professionally packaged? By a professional what? When people say that the inference is that they carry stuff to the UPS store, Mailboxes, etc., like a lot of volume shippers do. And look what you got. That really bites.

Wow! Got a full PayPal refund on the car after 2 messages. No request to return it or any other BS. Seller got a positive feedback for the trouble.

No loss and a nice body, but it dosen't get me a good wing. :( Yeah, I know never satisfied, but I'd much rather be $13.25 poorer and have the car as it was pictured.

I still have my AFX Charger with wing intact that was brought to me after a postal carrier dropped it out of his bag. A taxi cab pulled up, one of two in our little town, and handed me a squished box. He watched it get run over by a car and picked it up and brought it to my address. The car shot out the other end fortunately. It is my bird with angel wings. Not a flaw. Sorry, but I do dig the button chassis. My 2J TYCO with buttons flew and was a blast to "drive."
