Just before the last Post Office strike, I "won" a Record 43 on the bay at a very cheap price. Sadly it seem to have gone missing in the post? The seller has offered a refund but I would rather have the plane!  Is anybody else still awaiting any post from that period? R. |

Hi Robo I would save that seller as a favorite and see if the plane comes up for sale again  It seems a little strange that the seller is happy to just give you your money back, without any questions  Or is it just me  |

Mmmm.... makes me think the seller didn't get what he thought he would get.  How much did you get it for? |

I paid £16 for it complete with blades - I had been tracking and bidding on others before which were going for about £30. TonyW did a last second swoop on one of them! ;D The seller is on my "watch list" but I suppose it is quiet easy to get a friend to sell it in a few weeks time. He has offered the refund but not paid anything yet!! R. |

Since the strike the post seems to have gone haywire - really. This means I'm "reduced" to paying subbies cheque/cash im hand (although only with the proper documentation/CIS, etc) and that I've started to pay suppliers by direct bank credit as I simply can't trust the PO any longer

Still not received the plane or a refund so it's looking like I will have to take it up a notch on Ebay? I did managed to buy another one for £12 which is safely in my hands - the demand for them seems to have diminished a bit and the prices are coming down?  This one has winged nut type bolts whilst the other had knurled knobs - anybody know which is the earlier model? R. |

- I had been tracking and bidding on others before which were going for about £30. TonyW did a last second swoop on one of them! ;D Just spotted this, sorry robo - actually the last minute swoop was made for me by my son - think he got a little carried away on price (i.e. a bit more than I had wanted to pay). Looks like the price hike may have been due to some other bidders in the US. Glad you got sorted with one at a v. good price. Have you sorted things with the seller yet about refunding ? I believe that the early 43's were fitted with the wing nuts the latter type with the knurled knobs - don't have any idea on the dates though Cheers  Tony |
