gazzaw Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Saw this on fleabay and wonder why they say it is WW2 - Truck LRDG jeep etc from Normandy and american etc. These sellers should carry out a bit of research and not claim something that it is not. There are millions of these about and some still in service since way back. Price £150 to buy it now, for that I would be looking for a whole pallet of them http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WW2-Sand-Channels-Bought-Back-From-Normady-Truck-LRDG-Jeep-/141396692645?pt=UK_Collectables_Militaria_LE&hash=item20ebe64ea5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCMatt Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Gazzaw I suspect that is done so that when a potential buyer does a search on that site using various key words similar to the seller's item, it'll pop up. I've seen that with various MVs on there an example would be an add for a generic G503 titled as: "WW2 jeep,MB,GPW, MASH Jeep". Someone looking for a jeep might plug one or multiple words like that into the ebay search engine an have several hits returned....

Zero-Five-Two Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 I would suggest that if he did indeed bring them back from Normandy, he wasted his money. More likely he got them off his mate "Norman Dy" who found them round the back of his shed (LOL) :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulbrook Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 There's no point in getting hot under the collar - the thing about the open market is that you can ask whatever you like for stuff, and if it sells well great. if it doesn't - lesson learned. £150 might be money well spent getting a restoration finished or a set of equipment just so. This is especially the case when some vehicles command very high 2014 prices yet owners want to still pay 1960s prices for parts! Oh and if anyone has a pallets of PSP at £150 a pop I will take two pallets please.................:cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffo Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 £150 for 2!, that makes a few normandy farmers a little richer as there's loads of their fences made out of this stuff!! Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfire Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Looking at his feedback, his stuff seems to sell. If he can get that for a couple of bent sheets of PSP, good luck to him. Cheers, Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoot65 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 £150 does seem a bit steep! What would be a more realistic price for a pair of these tracks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
