Description: Bought in a collection, discovered this vintage MPC 1971 Chevy Vega kit. It was scattered in a loose cardboard box with other stuff. The box itself was nearly crushed, mainly the top. This rare kit had the instructions, so did something that normally, do not do. Copied them and enclosed them as a check list showing exactly what is missing. Not a whole lot, but with it being so rare, took this extra step. Only saw one of these for sale. Very expensive with no instructions. The only thing broken is the glass assembly, but it is a 1/8th inch area and an easy glue repair that would be NOT visible after assembly. Have been doing models 56 years and have seen this MPC model kit until this one. If this was an average model kit with the item quantity shown missing, would have listed this item as parts lot. But this kit is just too rare for that. Instead of a $275 " pig in a poke" here is a "know what you are buying" treasure. From a nonsmoker home, so no surprise odors upon opening the package. Pics are taken close up as part of the description, therefore, NO RETURNS!!!! Thanks for looking. Thank you for your purchase. HOWEVER, thanks to eBay's new policies, including intercepting Pay Pal, they are holding BUYER'S payments for 3-5 DAYS, before depositing into SELLER'S accounts. During this hold, they are making MILLIONS in interest daily. I just cannot afford to spend hundreds of dollars on shipping out daily, when they are HOLDING funds to the sellers, who are paying ALL the fees. Nothing personal, but please understand this. Items are now on a MINIMUM 5 DAY wait, before shipped. DUE TO THE FAUCI FLU FROM CHINA, NO MORE DIRECT, OUT OF THE COUNTRY SHIPPING. GLOBAL SHIPPING IS CHECKED AS AN OPTION, BUT NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DELAYS IN CUSTOMS OF ANY COUNTRY. *****THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH REPRESENTS 25 YEARS OF SCAMMERS, NON-PAYING BIDDERS, AND OTHER NO FAULT ISSUES***** Email any questions BEFORE you bid. "BUY IT NOW" means EXACTLY what is says. If you click on it, and buy it, PAY for it. Please do not "buy it now", and not pay for it. This is not LAY AWAY eBay. You have taken my item off the market when you bid on it on a BIN. Most of the items sold are USED, vintage items, not new items from today. If it is marked new, it IS new. It may be a vintage, old item, but if it is unused or unopened other than for photos, then it is NEW. That is why items are described in detail. Items are priced as used, not new, unless otherwise noted. If it appears unused, but does not have an original packaging or box, it is considered new. Overseas shipping is done through eBay's Global shipping program ONLY. Payment is expected within 24 hours of auction closing on "local pickup only" items. All others are expected immediately. A case will be opened with eBay for nonpayment as soon as possible for nonpayment and no further contact with you will be submitted. The item will be relisted, and you will be recorded by eBay as a non-paying bidder. This is done regardless of your excuse, to get the final value fee credit. AS LONG AS EBAY ALLOWS THE CHOICE NOT TO EXCEPT RETURNS, I DO NOT ACCEPT RETURNS. PLEASE DO NOT MESSAGE ME FOR RETURN REQUEST. EBAY OFFERS SELLERS THE CHOICE WHETHER OR NOT TO ACCEPT RETURNS AND I DO NOT ACCEPT RETURNS! IF YOU SUBMIT A RETURN REQUEST WITH A PIC, CLAIMING ITEM IS NOT AS DESCRIBED, I ASSURE, YOU I CALL eBay IMMEDIATELY. THIS APPILES TO THOSE OF YOU THAT TRY TO RETURN JUNK INSTEAD OF WHAT YOU RECEIVED!!! YES, THERE ARE BUYERS OUT THERE THAT TRY THIS! Items are carefully wrapped and packed. If it arrives damaged, in damaged packaging take it to the post office. Not responsible for careless handling by carriers or shipping handlers and am not paying to get it back. It is the BUYER'S responsibility to request insurance BEFORE the item is shipped. International registered mail has their own guidelines for each country, and you, as the buyer can research how to file your claim online at usps.com. This was verified by phone with eBay. MAKE SURE YOUR SHIPPING ADDRESS MATCHES YOUR PAY PAL ACCOUNT INFORMATION! I ship to the PP address on file. No fault applies to lost or non-received items. Once again...PLEASE...., if you cannot pay for it, do NOT bid on it. Do not bid with buyer's remorse. After 25 years, and that fact that eBay's "buyer protection" leaves nothing secure for the seller, trying to sell on eBay has become much more difficult. Veteran sellers do understand this. If you do not understand any part of these shipping details, please email for questions. Thank you for your interest in AMERICA'S collectible history, and thank you to those that have, do, and will, serve to protect our country. God bless the USA!
