Isn't this just the worst feeling though, Scott? I mean, even worse than missing out on an excellent toy, is getting something that isn't what you expected. Because of shoddy photos, poor or nonexistent descriptions, I, too, have had this happen on a few occasions, and I always find it heartbreaking. On the one hand, yes, you get what you were so hoping for, but the disappointment in receiving something damaged or not as described sucks all the excitement and happiness out of the purchase. This is especially dangerous when buying vintage toys, as there are going to be more conditional issues creep in (paint damage, loose joints, marker, non-original parts, cigarette smell, etc.). And when you have shelled out a lot of hard-earned money for one of these toys, it is doubly sad. Anyways, this just touches a soft spot for me, and there are a lot of toys that have become sort of 'tainted' by bad experiences in this way. I actually buy a lot of old and 'junk' toys, but knowing it makes all the difference [not to mention the price]. And I sure have spend a lot of elbow grease in my time on my 'new' vintage toys.scobot wrote:I recently bought an unopened Mach Baron set for a really good price, but... when I received it I was disappointed...
