MrWolf Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I remember looking at the proportions of the legs on those figures, (too small and on some one leg much longer than the other) and thinking that somebody didn't pass O level art class. As a teenager I stuck with modifying the old Airfix figures. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I let my phone go to voicemail after 7pm unless it's someone that I know. When I was single, one of my friends used to call me anytime between 11pm and 1am, because he knew I would be up, but not in my workshop. It was annoying when complete strangers rang me at 9.30pm to ask if I would sell parts from something I was advertising, rather than the whole thing. That's why I never put a phone number on any eBay listing. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She ditched her Facebook account about five years ago too, got fed up with the vacuous nature of it all and the fact that people can basically spy on you and attempt to manipulate situations. My friend's youngest daughter has had enough of social media too, at just turned eighteen. They could be the exception. 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I never put a phone number on any eBay listing. I'm just talking about the camera function. Why would someone not be able to have a photo ready when they are making the listing? Put the advert up the day after when you have the photo. I would never trusts a "photo to follow" listing, it is just as bonkers as a "price to follow" or "description to follow"... Post the advert when you have all the relevant details to hand. There is no sane reason why you would be in such a hurry to make a listing that it could not wait until taking a photo. It screams deception. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
