Remember that post yesterday?
Well, last night I was browsing "Marktplaats" (Like a Dutch craigslist, but with less freaky sh*t...) on the couch while me and the missus were binging something on Netflix...
Me; "Damn, that's nice. Wonder if he's serious about his asking price..."
SWMBO; "Hmmm? What are you on about?"
Me; "Some guy offering a Heng Long/Torro Leopard with all metal and steel upgrade running gear and upgraded "Red" engines... And his price is silly low..." *Goes to Google "Torro" and "Red engines upgrade"* "Uhm... like seriously silly low... I mean, no IR, but 2.4Ghz... I could swap the radio with the 7.0 set from the Panzer IV, since I got a 6.0S waiting to go into that one..."
SWMBO; "Well, place a bid. But only one... If you get over-bid, you stop. Okay?"
Me; "Uhm... sure..?" *places the opening bid of 175 euros*
10 minutes(!) later (and mind you, this was around 11 at night...) my phone pings. Message from the seller; "Hey, that bid's fine. Can you pick it up tomorrow?"
So yeah... I now own a Leopard 2A6... it's in mint condition, runs very nicely. everything works... the guy did his own decals copying the markings of a Leo 2A6 in the Dutch National Military Museum...
