However, I DO have my detractors. Case in point, the following is an actual message I got from an ebay virgin yesterday regarding the K-58 Demon and the V2 that I have listed for sale:

You?re an idiot. No one?s gonna pay that kind of price for a model rocket

My 2-word response to the troll was:

Duly noted.

The statement is true. I dont consider it a model until it?s finished. Until it?s finished I consider it a project. Once it?s finished, it doesn?t go outside.

Do you get mostly repeat customers or are many buyers not able or willing to build one that well?

The Vixen gets to see them whenever she wants, possibly making her the luckiest woman alive.
