Hey, interesting... Well, they have reasonable prices with them.
But do they really sell german promotional material?
It almost looks like they do...  ???

best,

 I have just seen the auction tonight and dashed over here to post my not so new discovery.

 The strange thing about the sales is that they don't accept paypal, I thought you had to accept paypal these days to sell anything ?

That is strange, especially after looking @ the top of the listing under types of payments accepted, & Pay Pal is the first type of payment listed  :hmm:? Ebay.de sellers very rarely accept Pay Pal! Most German sellers accept bank transfer as a preferred payment!

Interesting; maybe something in the fire brigade line will turn up sooner or later.

These are very good value if it's genuine, and I can't see how it can't be if you send your cheque to their offices. You get a bunch of pre-built models, and it's a buy-it-now auction, so no bidding war.

I'd be very tempted if I still lived in the UK.

They do glue figures and vehicles in place on the displays but I'm not sure if they glue all the parts together on the models.

Hi everyone,  :wave:
well I love the pirate theme and as I havent got the new ship I've gone mad and bought the display from ebay, but now I've heard it's glued together I'm kinda worried. :-\

When the auction finished there was no checkout set up for paying by cheque, it did give the option to pay by paypal but as it said in the listing no paypal payments accepted I ended up emailing the seller. The good news is I got an automated response last night and a real email today and they are from Playmobil uk. So I'll post off a cheque and when every thing comes I'll take pictures for every one.
 Now my problem is where am I going to put it?  ???
