Ady 2215 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 (edited) A small story. Well after much thought I decided to sell my beloved traxxas grave digger 30th anniversary edition in purple. (About 5 months ago) I spent a small fortune on her including a now discontinued roll cage from America and all alloy and rpm parts, led lights and red led headlights. Working skull led lights on the side, Yes I know it's only a traxxas stampede , but it's what it is, a limited edition traxxas monster jam 30th anniversary edition. Love grave digger. Anyway. I sold it to a guy in America, and after about 6weeks lost in LA airport eBay put in a dispute as you/they would do, I sold it through the eBay globe shipping programme so they should be responsible for any money lost, not me, So they take £570 out of our PayPal account to compensate this guy in America. After 2 more weeks I get my money back as eBay confirmed that it's there responsibilitiy. Lost never to be found again. So another 4 months go by, just doing an eBay search as we all do ever night or I do. What do I come across? My old traxxas grave digger 30th anniversary edition up on eBay now in London. Yes I buy it back, now reunited back with it, God knows where it had been? Who had it? How it came to be back in the UK, London? Very strange.. I bought it of an eBay auction site who sell things on behalf of there clients. Now it's back on display with all my other trucks. The end.

wiggles Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 That's a bit of a crazy story! Did you at least buy it back at a decent price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes its mad, I really didn't want to sell it in the first place. But needs must, to get another truck. Paid just under £500, he/they refused £450 used all my 3 offers up. Got it back anyway. Really didn't think I would ever see it again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know your own work/build. The colour of the roll cage. I put protective clear strips on it to stop rubbing on the body. I coloured the wheels purple and used purple lock nuts. Also purple lock nuts on all the steering end suspension. Green braided over the wiring at the back on the motor with special automotive black cloth tape which I had at my work. I also put clear light lens on the front and painted them over in red lacuer. Got the bkt tyre decals made up. And all the wiring I did for all the lights. All stuff I did under the shell, taping up the wiring, clips etc under the shell. Oh and I put black body r clips on which I repainted from silver to black. Tell you what is weird. It has come back with a us style charger plug which I didn't put in. Edited November 8, 2018 by Ady 2215 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
