here here. thats the biggest downfall of capitalism, sellers have every right to and therefore stick it to the buyers whenever and however they can. this is why i prefer to buy rare oop kits from a modeller selling fro whatever reason as opposed to a buisnessman. theres a seller in new orleans on ebay who sells models and he has some nice stuff i want to get but his prices are just too high in most cases. he has the old tool ssw d.iii priced higher than you can get the new profipack for. in my eyes this kit is practically worthless now, the only perk is the photoetch which can perhaps be partially used on a build of the new tool. i usually like to support the little guy or underdog.
