THIS
HAD BEEN STASHED AWAY WITH A FEW HUNDRED OR SO ADDITIONAL MODELS ALL OF WHICH I HAVE PERSONALLY OWNED FOR UP TO 5 + DECADES!
HAVING HUNDREDS (TO THOUSANDS) OF MODEL CARS TO CHOOSE FROM, MOSTLY PORSCHE AND CORVETTES, I HAVE DECIDED TO START LISTING SOME OF THESE HERE ON EBAY. 9
5
% OF THESE ARE ONE-OF-A-KINDS LISTINGS AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO SHOW YOU AN ARRAY OF PICTURES AND DESCRIBE THEM TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. THIS RARE S&E HELICOPTER IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE!
THIS MODEL MEASURES OUT AT JUST OVER 11 INCHES LONG INCHES LONG (28CM). IT IS IN EXCELLENT OVERALL WORKING CONDITION AND ALL OF THE ORIGINAL FEATURES STILL WORK AS DESIGNED AND DESCRIBED ON THE ORIGINAL PACKAGING. HERE'S HOW IT WORKS....
AS WITH ALL MODELS, THE FIRST THING YOU HAVE TO DO IS TO REMOVE IT FROM IT'S BOX, THEN UNWRAP THE BLADES AND INSERT THE RUBBER END OR NIPPLE ONTO THE TINY PIPE WHICH IS SEEN AT THE HIGHEST POINT OF THE HELICOPTER. THIS IS DONE BY SIMPLY ALIGNING THE TWO SECTIONS TOGETHER AND THEN PUSHING THE RUBBER SECTION INTO THE METAL ROD.
ONCE THIS IS DONE, YOU ARE TOO! PRETTY EASY TO GET THIS BABY READY!
WITH IT'S PATH ALREADY ETCHED INTO YOUR BRAIN, KEEPING IN MIND THAT THIS HELICOPTER ONLY GOES STRAIGHT AS YOU HAVE NO WAY TO STEER THIS BABY, YOU NOW POWER UP IT'S FRICTION DRIVE BY DOING SEVERAL RUNS WITH THIS HELICOPTER ACROSS ANY SURFACE, BE IT A FLOOR OR COUNTER TOP. TRADITIONALLY THE FASTER YOU PUSH YOUR ARM TO GO, THE FASTER THE FICTION DRIVE GOES. YOU WILL HAVE TO DECIDE WHICH "HOLDING" WORKS BETTER FOR YOU AS YOU ALSO HAVE TO CONTEND WITH THE ROTATION OF THE BLADES.
WHEN YOU GET THIS HELICOPTER'S FRICTION MOTOR MOVING AT A GOOD CLIP, YOU THEN AIM IT AND RELEASE IT.
OFF IT GOES, MAKING IT'S ENGINE NOISE AND WITH THE BLADES SPINNING! DEPENDING ON JUST HOW MUCH OR FAST YOU GOT THIS FRICTION DRIVE MOTOR GOING, YOU'LL GET ABOUT A 4-6 FOOT RUN OUT OF IT.
AS YOU CAN SEE FROM MY PICTURES, THE BODY OF THIS HELICOPTER IS IN EXCELLENT OVERALL CONDITION/SHAPE. YOU HAVE NO CONCERN-ABLE DINGS OR DENTS, RUST OR CORROSION FOUND ANYWHERE ON THIS HELICOPTER.
ALL OF THE GRAPHICS ARE HERE VIA TIN LITHOGRAPHY, WHICH MEANS THERE HERE FOR LIFE! AS SUCH THEY RARELY FADE AND IT'S IMPOSSIBLE FOR THESE TO PEAL OFF.
THE CHASSIS IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION ALSO WITH NO ISSUES AND IS 100% ORIGINAL.
THE ORIGINAL BOX IS PRESENT AND IN GOOD OVERALL SHAPE/CONDITION. YOU HAVE A VERY SLIGHT DEPRESSION ON THIS BOX AS AT ONE TIME, IT WAS LOCATED CLOSER TO THE TOP (DUE TO IT'S SIZE) IN ONE OF MY TOWERS OF TOYS! ALL OF THE END FLAPS ARE STILL ORIGINALLY ATTACHED AND YOU HAVE NO ADDED TAPE OR GLUE FOUND ANYWHERE ON THIS BOX. ALL EIGHT (8) ORIGINAL STAPLES HOLD THE BASE AND THE LID FIRMLY TOGETHER FOUR (4) ON THE BASE AND FOUR (4) ON THE LID. THE GRAPHICS ARE SHARP AND THIS BOX DISPLAYS NICELY WITH THIS HELICOPTER AS SEEN IN MY FIRST PICTURE. ON THE LID YOU HAVE TWO (2) BUSTED CORNERS. THE BASE HAS THE TYPICAL OIL MARKS WHICH COME INTO PLAY WHEN THE FACTORY LUBES UP THE MACHINE FOR A LONG RUN AS THESE STAPLES DO RETAIN THE OIL AND THEN, OVER TIME, THE CHIPBOARD BOX ABSORBS IT.
HERE I DO ASK THAT YOU LOOK AT AND INSPECT MY PICTURES AS THEY DO A FAR BETTER JOB SHOWING YOU THE ACTUAL SHAPE/CONDITION OF THIS BOX AND THE JEEP ITSELF THEN I COULD EXPLAIN HERE IN WORDS.
I TAKE PRIDE IN MY MODELS THAT I OFFER HERE IN THE E-BAY WORLD. I DO HAVE OPTIONS AND I CHOOSE TO OFFER ONLY THE VERY FINEST THAT I HAVE AVAILABLE. I TEST EVERYTHING PRIOR TO LISTING THEM AND ONCE AGAIN PRIOR TO SENDING THEM OFF. I DO THIS SO WE WILL BOTH BE VERY HAPPY WITH THE END RESULT, IT'S THE ONLY WAY I DO THINGS! YOU WILL NEVER SEE ME WRITE "THIS MODEL IS
UNTESTED
AND WILL BE SOLD AS IS" OR ... I LOVE THIS ONE, "I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS MODEL AS I HAVE NO BATTERIES OF THIS SIZE"!! ...... COME ON NOW... AFTER ALL, HOW HARD IS IT TO TOSS IN A FEW BATTERIES OR TO WIND UP A MODEL?? PRETTY DAMN EASY IF YOU ASK ME.
THIS S&E "SUPER CONTROL ANTI CRAFT JEEP" IS FULLY TESTED AND WILL BE ONCE AGAIN, PRIOR TO ME PACKAGING THIS UP.
ONCE AGAIN, PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THESE PICTURES AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR DESIRE ADDITIONAL PICTURES, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME VIA E-BAY MESSAGING. PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE PICTURES DO BECOME A VITAL AND IMPORTANT PART OF THE DESCRIPTION.
THIS VINTAGE JEEP IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF A MODEL AND OF AN ERA THAT HAS LONG PASSED US BY.
THIS IS A RELATIVELY NEW STORE FOR ME HERE ON E-BAY, BUT, I COME WITH A WELL OILED AND POLISHED TRACK RECORD! I AM CURRENTLY (NOT ON THIS ACCOUNT ... YET!!) A GOLD T/RATED P~SELLER WITH OVER 8 YEARS OF THIS STATUS BACKING ME. I SPECIALIZE IN PRIMARILY THE AUTOMOTIVE FIELD AND I CONCENTRATE WITH/ON PORSCHE, BENTLEY, AUDI AND "
PORSCHE DESIGN
" ITEMS/ACCESSORIES.
I HAVE A UPS ACCOUNT AND MOST OF MY OFFERINGS HERE SHALL BE SENT THAT WAY. I PACK EACH AND EVERY ITEM MYSELF AND DO SO AS IF I WERE RECEIVING IT. ALL OF MY DOMESTIC SHIPMENTS WILL BE INSURED FOR THE SELLING PRICE. I ENTER THE SHIPPING DATA DAILY INTO BOTH E-BAY AND PAYPAL. THIS S&E JEEP
WILL BE SENT VIA THE USPS AND WILL BE FULLY INSURED.
FOR MY INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS, I WILL BE PLACING THIS ITEM INTO EBAY’S "GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM (GSP)". UNFORTUNATELY, IN THE PAST I HAVE HAD SOME RUN-IN’S WITH SOME VERY SCRUPULOUS INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, WHO BY THEIR NATURE … "DO NOT PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS". CONSEQUENTLY, I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO USE EBAY’S GSP AS THIS DOES OFFER "WE THE SELLERS" SOME ADDITIONAL PROTECTION FROM THESE FOLKS.
THIS ITEM MUST BE DECLARED FOR IT’S SELLING PRICE. IT IS SIMPLY NOT POSSIBLE TO DECLARE AN ITEM FOR .00 AND THEN TURN AROUND AND ATTEMPT TO INSURE IT FOR 0.00! IN ADDITION, VIA THE GSP, THEY (EBAY) AUTOMATICALLY FIGURES OUT THE IMPORT FEE (IF APPLICABLE) AND COLLECTS THIS, SOMETHING I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER.
INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, PLEASE READ THE VERY BOTTOM OF THIS SECTION AS THIS DOES APPLY TO YOU……..
PLEASE NOTE
:
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY TAXES, DUTIES, IMPORT FEES OR ASSESSMENTS WHICH MIGHT BE LEVIED/COLLECTED FROM ANY FOREIGN GOVERNMENT. SO PLEASE BE PREPARED FOR THIS ON YOUR END!
AS MENTIONED ABOVE, THIS IS A RELATIVELY NEW AREA FOR ME (HERE ON E-BAY) AND I DO TRY MY BEST TO DO AS GOOD AS I CAN. THIS HAS BECOME A FULL TIME BUSINESS FOR ME AND I REALLY ENJOY DOING IT. I WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO TILL IT BECOMES A BURDEN AND I CAN NO LONGER ENJOY IT. I WILL BE ADDING TO THIS STORE WEEKLY (OR TRYING TO) AND HOPEFULLY YOU WILL SEE THAT I DO EXACTLY WHAT I SAY AND DO SO IN A VERY TIMELY FASHION.
THIS WILL BE OFFERED IN THE BUY-IT-NOW FORMAT AND ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS A-OF-A-KIND LISTING/OFFERING BY ME. THE MODEL PICTURED IS THE MODEL THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE.
THIS IS WHERE I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME IN READING ALL OF THE ABOVE.
I HAVE JUST ADDED THE "STORE" FEATURE THAT E-BAY OFFERS WE SELLERS TO USE (AT A FEE OF COURSE) AND THIS IS TO ASSIST YOU, THE BUYER, TO VIEW ALL OF MY OFFERINGS. IN ORDER TO VIEW MY LISTINGS IN A CONCISE AND ORDERLY FASHION, ALL YOU NEED DO IS TO LOCATE THAT SMALL "
RED
" DOOR A TOP THIS PAGE. THIS IS LOCATED JUST BELOW MY SELLERS ID AND FEEDBACK TALLY. ONCE LOCATED, A SINGLE LEFT CLICK ON IT WILL IN TURN "

" THE VIRTUAL DOOR TO MY STORE HERE ON E-BAY!
IN ORDER TO STREAMLINE YOUR SEARCH FURTHER, ONCE YOUR IN MY STORE, TO THE LEFT YOU WILL SEE A "SEARCH" BAR, IF YOU'D LIKE TO SEE JUST MY MODEL CARS, JUST TYPE IN "MODEL CAR" AND JUST MY LISTED MODEL CARS WILL POP-UP. ... IF YOU'D LIKE TO SEE SOME LP'S ... YOU GOT IT ... TYPE IN "ALBUMS" . I THINK YOU GET THE GIST OF THIS NOW!
