AND the seller has a PrePay Volvo on also. Currently $150, but the bidder has bid 32 times over the last few hours so it's anyones guess what THAT bidder has bid. This seller is making a killing out of the Mercs

Tas Bus Nut,

I received my prepay volvo yesterday completely out of the blue, so yours shouldnt be too far off i'd say

Cheers

Yes but 6 months after a person paid for an item?

If I waited that long for any thing, I would have said you are taking an unreasonable time, and now require a full refund, including a full refund of the postage & handling cost. I've known people that have ordered overseas, and have got them within less than a few weeks.

Yes, I know. Their explanation for delay was the original was NOT suitable and had to go back to China for the artwork They initially offered me a refund, but at that stage said it should be available within a month. That was a few months ago. Fingers crossed for this week, otherwise we'll see

At least the SBM were willing to make sure you get a good made model, and not a second rate model.

Bairstow must be psychic. My Volvo PREPAY arrived today, although the "signwriting" isn't the best (not as sharp as I expected), BUT at least it's here. I heard Sydney buses run late, BUT . . . . . . 5 1/2 mths (#39 of 40)

The one that was on eBay just sold for $495! Yes, $495

i know what you mean tas bus nut, it's kinda pixelated but my consolation is that from a distance you can't really tell

Either I'm seeing things, or Bairstow wrote four hundred & ninety five dollars! Someone must reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaly want it.

Another Explorer is on E bay at the moment:http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SYDNEY-Merce ... 23178ab15c
Current bid: AU $92.00
There are only 2 people bidding on it so it will be interesting to see the final bid

boronia · Post by **boronia** » Thu Dec 15, 2011 6:34 pm

Another one from the Bus Museum ??

It still has nearly 5 days to go. The desperate buyers leave bidding to the last 30 seconds.

captainch · Post by **captainch** » Thu Dec 15, 2011 7:02 pm

yes its the bus museum selling the explorers and pre pay buses at e bay some ppl have more money than sence!

Does anyone else think that the very nice Merc 305 model resembles the AEC Merlins that were in every corner of the British Isles and even Malta and Cyprus???

Don't drive it out of there without pulling in the mirrors

boronia · Post by **boronia** » Sun Dec 25, 2011 9:20 am

Maybe Trux could do a couple of those EFE Merlins in local liveries

You are an avid collector Boronia. It would have been interesting to see some of the last AEC 760 Swift chassis sold in the 1979/80 period recieve the Mecedes mark II body instead of the dated PMC progress style bodies.
