Wonder why you would put that on ebay and not list shipping to the US of A. Much
bigger market and would assume a much better price.

Also the assumption that it is a 1996 missed the mark by about 6 years.

Are you right in the head? - The cost of shipping would be more than the
toy is worth.

How so? - The C4 (I think - can anyone confirm it's a C4?) Corvette had
a very long production span. From 1983 to 1996, ISTR.

No, I'm not right in the head, I'm talking to you, ain't I? I also shipped to
and from the UK on a regular basis and the "toy" as you call it is worth about
$1000 used in the US. Unless they rip you off on packaging it's still a good buy
at the $70us that is bid and I'd go much more. That's why it would help if the
shipping cost was stated.

You need to get your head out of your ass and take a look at it. Hint, notch
back and vertical gills. No 1983 Corvettes were produced. Now back in your hole

I must apologize for not paying attention and cross posting to other news
groups. Never meant to bring the fools out of the woodwork.

Nice one. Not too many people know that, and as a result, it's a good
pub bet.

Bonus points for knowing why.

But it's completely wrong.

The car was produced in 1983, but sold as a 1984 model.

HTH.

In response

Hi There

We didn't put the US as an option as we thought that the shipping would be
prohibitive. Didn't realise the US market was as big as it was.
The crate that it came in has gone and we are not sure if it is worthwhile.
I am happy to open this up to US people if they cab find out about shipping
costs.

Thanks for the URL for the info

Sorry, with the ignorant an arrogant reply received from the cross posted sites
I would never consider bidding. I have purchased through Ebay from England
before and keep English currency on hand as I travel there on vacation and work.

I have 6 young grandchildren that would love to ride in a Corvette sized for
them as much as they would in Gramps car. Especially since one of them has gone
to see London with me and the ambiance of having come from England would be
attached to the go kart. That was the only reason for my reply to the original
post.

Your suggestion if someone wanted to bid by finding out the shipping cost don't
cut it, it has to come from you as you hold the final package size and shipper
choice. I shipped a grandfather clock back and when we were getting shipping
prices the variation on shipping cost could have killed the deal, as not knowing
has in this case.

No cross posting this time, why is that? Never mind.
