    ok first off i know where the trailer comes from... it,s from a mack truck /with trailer 1/32 scale diecast model.. reason i know is that i bought allot of them to make mp-01 trailers... at a price of 16.50 can !! now what he did is bought the mack truck trailer... keep the truck and sold the trailer with no modifications whatsoever (trust me i know) and puts it on sale at 84.44 !! and the second the shipping cost at 40.00 for canada ??? wow this is so a rip off !!! also you can see the exact same trailer here ...

    http://www.trickmytruck.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=169

    so the price of the trailer should,nt pass more then 12-14 $ tops...
    we should ask him how he built it lol

    yeah but it,s such a rip-off !! man i hope no one fell for that !!

    step 1 -buy truck with trailer for 16-17 $
    step 2 -remove truck and trailer from box
    step 3 -keep truck and sell trailer for 84.44$ on ebay !
    step 4 -claim that trailer is custom without doing a damn thing on it
    step 5 -charge insane amount for shipping..

    theses are the steps to make money under false claims lol

    Well, according to the seller, you also get Prime in box, so while the price may be a little inflated, it's not crazy or anything. Shipping is pretty nuts, though.

    ah ! you,re right .. my bad... so in that case it,s not a bad deal... depends of course of a leader class prime today... but the description is misleading in saying that it,s a custom trailer ..that isnt in anycase....
