So you'd gladly allow him to go to the trouble of going to the store, grabbing the toy, painting it up with a fantastic custom paint job, and shipping it to you? And for that you'd pay him the price of the plane -- the same you spend when you drag your own butt to the store, grab one (if they even have it in stock) and accept the rather humdrum black plastic non-paint job it comes with?
Wow, you're a saint. Law |

like I stated earlier if you chose to read it, if he created it with intentions of profit thats what I would give him, never questioned the labor nor craftmenship. creating 2 threads to "show" his work and asking how much we'd pay for it since he's selling it. yes, thats the response I give him over and over again.

That's a silly position to take. Making customs with intent to sell (and yes, make a profit because that's the freaking point), is hardly a unique practice. There are entire websites devoted to it.
This isn't scalping (as you're implying it is), this is investing his own time, labor, materials, and talent into improving something. Yeah, it's probably with intent to make a profit, and it darn well should be. If he goes asking some ridiculous price for it, then he probably won't be able to sell it. But there's a tremendous difference between this and putting up say, a Best of the 80's DVD pack. |

I've paid low prices and high prices for customs on here before. but the biggest deterrent is for someone to post their custom and immediately ask for price. Thats just my personal view. Call it like I see it.

I agree. The only reason I chose $50 was it was the lowest price. It is an awesome re-paint, but that's exactly what it is a repaint. If you modified it with the opening bomb bays and such then I think it would be worth more than $50.
