"Orac replica prop The photo on the listing is of the original orac will add photo s. looks same but in better condition . correct replica has all 70s original parts and flashing to correct light timing to original orac from gambit. Was. Built by John who does model fantasy Magazine models. I have the receipt . Had five years not used been stored un smoking house. Takes aa battery's. Has original rear on and off button as original did can't tell them apart even gambit box also correct scale and detail." And only £700!!! And I've just noticed...the chappie lives in Southampton!!! And I'm not going to ask if I can pop round...when I asked that chap who was selling the LIbby, he got quite rude and abrupt, telling me to look at a ceratin website to get more pictures!!! Cold.....you don't know the meaning of cold.

Hmm, I think we all know who this is!  Here, let me translate for you: Was. Built by John who does model fantasy Magazine models. "This was built by Jim Costello, whose scale Liberator model was featured in Science Fiction and Fantasy Modelling Magazine" I don't think Jim charges as much as that for a new one, I think it's about half of what Mr. Tarrant is expecting ... !!

Oooh, the cheeky devil, just looking through my photos I'm 99.9% sure he has used one of my photos of the original baby ORAC to sell his replica! The above was my photo taken at Smallspace 2012. Edited by clanger68 on 06 January 2015 22:46:07  Vila - "I plan to live forever - or die trying" |

Ooh, naughty! Looks exactly the same to me! Seller does say it's a photo of the original, he does also say he'll change it for a shot of the item he's selling ... mind you, he's not done that yet! ---------------------------------------- "There it is!" |

We were talking about the same thing on another Blake's 7 forum the other day. I got a chuckle out of the condition being used. Don't know why- just seemed funny to me. Lot of money for the little thing.

Auction has ended.............Good Grief! I do hope the buyer (if indeed there really was one) realised it was a replica and not the original! Vila - "I plan to live forever - or die trying" |

£1101!!! Are they mad? I'd love to be a fly on the wall when the winner goes to pick it up....although I have my suspicions that all is not as it seems!!!!!

The winning bid was made six seconds from the end of the auction. I guess the "winner" put in an inflated bid to ensure they got the item. I've used it myself. It's a risky strategy, because if the previous bidder did the same thing, it's easy to end up paying £100 for a £5 item! I have a feeling Jim Costello charges £350 for these mini Orac replicas, so the winner could have bought THREE of them from Jim and still have 51 quid left over. Oops! ---------------------------------------- "There it is!" |

The seller sent me a message saying he would be posting it recorded delivery on Monday and that he has had to pay £80 in fees to paypal (actually, that fee goes to Ebay, but whose counting?) Anyway, I've just broken the news to him that I didn't actually bid on the item and that he has sent the message to the wrong person...to which he replied... Yes sorry Shame as u asked for photo bit of time wasting lol. So, I'm a time waster because I wanted to see piccies of the actual item and not a picture taken at Smallspace 2012 of someone elses model. And recorded del will not cover a £1101 item!!!

Well...look what turned up in my email box today.... If u contact me through this mobile number ********* and send your email. Mike says he's phoned but he hasn't. If your interested in orac I'll need 1500 deposite to hold him. Let know as I've sold one redemption ship. I can hold all models if your a hard collector deff want them . Contact soon as may put orac on ebay start 6500 Postage be tracked and crated as he's rare all parts original to orac full scale And I didn't even bid on the item! So it looks as though his winning bidder didn't complete the transaction...well, what a surprise!!! Cold.....you don't know the meaning of cold.

Next time you meet Mat Irivne, ask him about all of this as he has an opinion on it and will share it I'm sure. I guess we all smell a rat on this one, right?

Oh it's more than one rat! He has lost a lot of money unless he cancels the whole thing. I like the way it went for £1001 and yet he wants 1500 as a deposit!! And he is going to relist it for £6500!!! I have an idea that either he or a friend were bidding up the original bidder...but you can't prove it. Needless to say, if he does relist it and uses the same picture from Smallspace then I think I will contact Ebay. Not that they will do anything. Yes, I think I may ask Mr Irvine what his view about this is. Cold.....you don't know the meaning of cold.
