[QUOTE="Stubbs, post: 494132, member: 8983"] I think its a tragic shame that the part's are sold for stupid money and people paying encourages people to do it. For example people selling x wing canopy's on ebay the common price is buy it now £20-£25 and the x wing cannons £8 -£10 each with an x wing shell typically selling for £10 making an x wing in parts worth £62 (low balling) when a complete one could cost between £40 £50 on average. I could do a similar comparison to snow speeders as i have observed this for some time as i build complete ships for my own collection and piece complete ones together from lot's i have acquired and its very frustrating to think some one is ripping them apart for what a few quid. I know there are lots of loose parts from ships floating around for one reason or another and thats fine people will possibly need an x wing cannon or b wing cannon to complete a ship but then i see people selling screws from falcons and snowspeerders as well check ebay there will be loads. I know this happens as last year i sold a complete lovely condition Rebel transport complete with the hatch. The ship sold on ebay bids for £26 a week later the guy was selling the hatch for £25 and the gun turrets as an assembly for £20. I suppose the argument is he paid for it and can do what he likes with it and i get that but still cant help but think what a C***t. [/QUOTE]
