Thread: Did you buy a FW-190 (Wubke) off of eBay in June?

    Default Did you buy a FW-190 (Wubke) off of eBay in June?

    Back in June I picked up a FW-190 (plane, pegs, base & plane card only) model (7./JG 26) no pilot name. At the same time a similar setup was offered for the Wubke pilot model. I finally got my model out to game with a weekend ago and discovered I was sent the Wubke plane card instead of the (7./JG 26) plane card. It's not a big deal, but I thought on the off chance if the person who bought the Wubke plane was onboard here and wanted to swap cards , I'd be agreeable to it.

    Good luk, brother. Maybe reach out to the eBay seller and ask them to reach out to their Wubke buyer?

    Darn. Things like that are annoying. Best of luck, and reaching out to the seller to communicate with the other buyer might be the best plan.

    I've acquired numerous planes on ebay, and several times the decks have been incorrect (often missing a card, sometimes with two the same and another missing, once or twice bloated with extra cards!
    I can't understand why the seller doesn't check the contents first - it's not rocket science!

    Several times, I have successfully corrected the decks through the agency of the original ebay seller.

    So much this. On the rare occasion when I let something go, I do a full audit of every component before accepting the other guy's payment, then a second just before I seal the package.
