But it does show the type of person involved in this hobby, and you wonder why the general public makes a strong distinction between owners of originals vs. owners of a "cheap kit car replicas"? It's all in how you carry yourself, sh!ting on people begets being sh!t on.

I don't think the owner or the broker have been trashed by having an honest discussion of the car as it is presented. Although, both need to do their homework and know exactly what they have on their hands.

As for the car, it's been judged on it's own merits, and been found lacking in quality vs it's asking price vs the rest of the market.

PS: Doing a search of the forum will show that I've had some of my personal FFR's picked apart when they came up on the market. I don't look at it has a negative, as it viewed every comment and tweaked the car accordingly until it was of sufficient quality to sell for what I wanted.
