On my ebay searches, I came across this

There is another similar lot from the same seller - the only thing I can think of is that the seller meant £24.95 - but still..........
Any ideas?

Some people do this when they're out of stock but expect to get more - it's quicker to add a couple of zeros and delete them later, rather than deleting the post and having to retype it all.

They by buggered by the E-bay charges if someone accidently buys one lol and imagine the import tax on that . lol

[Dave Ward]

I've looked at other lots from the same seller - yes, two 1/700 ships in one lot - several lots, in fact at £24.95! - so it looks like an error, but why it wasn't corrected is odd!

No, they could cancel the sale.

As someone who worked in law enforcement for over a decade and indeed worked on money laundering Investigations, I can honestly say I never worked on anything so 'small'.... :smiling5:

On the flip side, I did work on the early stages of one international investigation where following the primary target's arrest it was estimated that in the 18 months prior to his arrest his operation had laundered US$1.8 billion dollars...... crime does pay!!
