Ebay Auction Alert: clarification

It probably would have been less confusing if you had just said that it contained 18 different aircraft models, leaving out the word 'kits'.

It's quite a collector's item, I guess. Not my cup of tea, personally, although I do think it's pretty cool. I'd do something really stupid like applying glue to it!

In any case, this evening I added to the description in the hopes of clarifying any lingering confusion. Also, in the XSL-01 Manned Spaceship from Revell, I uploaded several pictures to a remote site and have that URL in the Ebay description now. There's been a ton of interest around that one as well.

People really get into more descriptions and more pictures when the price of the item gets up there. It's been a learning process.

I don't understand people who collect unassembled models. It seems like owning a complete vintage Spitfire and keeping it in bits in the garage.

well, i collect coins and i sure ain't putting a bust half in the soda machine. i understand the collector mentality, but i build what i buy.

In some cases it's like mailing a letter with a rare stamp.

The difference is that most collectors are modelers who build at least some of kits that they obtain. I'm one of those.
