Totally! I hate all ads that say "offers". Good grief, just put a price on it and if you are open to an offer just say so.

Agreed.
Ebay is for auctions, not The Samba.
Pick a price, list it, done.

You are not wrong but eBay sucks if you are not setting up a shop these days. They wanted a ton of personal tax information last time I tried to use them. No way I'm giving them all of that to sell a few parts. They also want you to provide free shipping and a free return option. I will never sell there again.

Weird comment but maybe he's trying to say this is the actual item and current photos?

There have been people who used old photos in the past, often for cars.
There's also a guy on the site that buys things off eBay and resells them here and he used to and maybe still does use the photos from the eBay auction, often listing it here before he even receives the item himself. Really bad idea...

Not sure what they are worth now but I believe they cost $100 when they were produced.

Obviously inflation and they are not available now but $750? Nah

I looked and there's been one for $380 and one for $385 in the past year

I see over $3K in the Wiking models alone.

There are some high roller bus collectors who want everything, and an asking price has to start somewhere! Laughing
