I scored some pretty cool stuff on EBay in 2008. I really love the Sterling Beginner series 1/2A planes, and I was able to pick up 3 for less than $25 each: P-51 Mustang, P-47 Thunderbolt, and an FW-190 Focke Wulf. The Focke Wulf was an especially sweet aquisition for me because I had one as a kid. In fact, it was my first control line kit. My mom was a teacher, and each year in August she had to go to school and prepare her class room for the coming scholl year. I was too young to stay at home by myself, so she would take me with her. One year, she bought the Focke Wulf kit so I would have something to do while she worked on the class room.
The other two really cool things I got were a 50's vintage Babe Bee .049, still brand new in factory packaging, and a Sterling Skyshark. I over paid for the Babe Bee at about $65, but I really wanted it. Later I missed out on a similar one (new, but not in original packaging) listed at $40 BIN. Oh well...
Cheers,
Ken
