Thank you, Karim ...

That's a beautiful red on the Victorian automobile ...  :love:

And, Emma J's kitchen is indeed masterfully done. I have seen kitchens in real life that are that cluttered. It has always amazed me how anyone could work in such a crowded mess. It would drive me insane ...  8}

Thanks again and all the best,
Richard

The Old Windmill strikes again :lol:!!!

This time with Britironbiker which introduces her Windmill extravaganza at a Buy it Now price of....500 pounds 8} !!!

My "Perfect day out in the Cotswolds" auction reached a mind bogling 350 pounds  8} in May and I was the first surprised and it definitely - as we say in France "put some butter in my spinachs"  ;D...

Sylvia  :wow: - I listened to your sound advice and recreated a copy of my Windmill which is in my study with a special background lighting to make it come alive and I enjoy it on a daily basis  ;)!!!

You'll be the Judge...just 5 days away will the "proof is in the pudding" time  :yup:...

Karim ;)

Exquisite attention to detail  :wow:! Everything looks so real, it makes you forget that it's Playmobil! (I did a little rhyme!)

Hi Playmofriends  :wave:

I would like to raise a topic which has happened repeatedly lately on Ebay.co.uk in the shape of auctions being re-listed just a few days after being the object of an intense artificial bidding instead of genuine bidding  >:(.

A Seller has been offering elaborate dioramas, all created with a great attention to details with a high starting price and an unrealistic buy it now option ranging between 250.00 and 500.00 pounds  8}!!!

These auctions are nevertheless selling at high prices  but are systematically re-listed a couple of days later as an exact copy, down to the original pictures  :yup:...

Should it have happened once, one may I have wondered if it was a genuine copy of a previous auction, but 4 are now highlighting an obvious artificial bidding of some kind which only exposes the Seller to quite a pathetic reality : Buyers are not be taken for cash cows as easily as certain unscrupulous Buyers are thinking they are :lol:.

What an odd situation, do these sellers have an established history or are they just opportunists trying to take advantage of the renewed interest in these dioramas?
