(Received the ad on FB (NOT buying!), but  thought: LOADS of 'Big Boy's Toys' out there... LOL!). When I was young there were Meths driven Traction Engines...

A friend had one of those - I was so jealous. Bet they're worth a fortune now!

I'm confused. It looks like they're selling a model of a mini-excavator, but the words are describing the real thing?
Not a model... just a 'lol, could do with for the garden!' ;)

Hmm, nobody is selling a real, sit-on, petrol engined mini-excavator for £50!

The first five pictures are of a model, the last two are of the real thing.

Whole thing looks deliberately mis-leading to me.

Yeah, 'could' be dubious. I have added a 'warning' to original post. I didn't think that anyone would really 'go for it'.  :(

Then again, I bought a 'Viking' kitchen knife from a Facebook ad. After about four weeks, thought... ok, been ripped off again... then it turned up and is 'wicked' after a little sharpening !   ;)

Sorry, not getting at you.

It's the same with the Chinook page - they show their model, then there's a couple of videos of cool-looking (and quite sizeable) RC Chinooks flying - but I bet that's not the model they're selling! I note they don't specify the size of the model . . . but they do say it's die-cast, which can't be good for flying!
