You would have thought they would have checked before offering it as present, I like you would have. I have heard so many stories of people claiming money back, and it is my bet that some of the claim backs are fraudulent on the buyers side!

Yeah well Pm have been saved so hopefully I have the full converstaion when ebay intervene.
But like you say I would of checked too.
My thoughts exactly.
Already been into paypal account and stop the lot till this is cleared up?
I like the idea that this site has when selling 'stuff' Good Pictures, Preferably showing the item working (if appropriate), with your screen name, and date shown in the pictures Can't go wrong with that! Spot On

I nearly got turned over for a few hundred with ebay
I stopped using them
the buyer claimed, after a month the item was not as described,
I had no money in paypal, luckily, so simply cancelled my bank card.
got a few nasty emails off paypal, so I told them to take me to court and prove I was in the wrong, and if the kept threatening, intimidating and harrassing me I would take them to court,
I heard nothing more from them
havent used ebay since,
and in actual fact had to open a new paypal account just for the charity donations on here, lol

Is that the horse racing thing where you turned the handle,?
It was great until they fell off the table and got broken legs,,,,,

Yeah mate loads of fun with it. 1991 version which is the plastic horse,s unlike the earlier models which were lead.
I had something like that but to make the horses move you had to propel a ball bearing into a hole, every time the ball went in the hole the horse moved, can't remember the name of it though!

YEA, plastic was a good idea, we had ours in the '70s, and lots of taped up legs, lol.

Sounds pretty smart. 👍 Can,t beat the old ones.
Yeah the game progressed throughout the years still lots of fun out of them tho.
This was it, and great fun and arguments were had by all 😆
Have you received any more emails from ebay or buyer?

I got the old one as one of my christmas presents in 1976, years of endless fun, gave it to one of my cousins about 10 years later, who then passed it on to someone else, one of many classic things from the 1970s.
