Default Alpha off EBAY here...

Alright after the wait and the pain, my alpha rtf used trainer i bought on ebay is here. It ended up being $220 shipped (a friend helped me out with shipping). Well no wonder the ladie's shipping was coming out at $125, the box was huge, half empty, and mostly styrofoam. The 2nd smaller box had ANOTHER smaller box in it... I spent at least 2 hours taking it out, then clening it as it was all dirty, and in the process i found a huge hole! (if ou go to item 3174948765 and look at the pic, you will see jus behind the wings there is a hard to see gray sticker, under it, is the hole), not only that, it came with the propeller broken and a smaller allen tool (too small) (btw, what size do i need) so i cant even repair it!, besides 5 other scratches and worn out parts, including a non-rotating wheel, and there are alot of bubbles under the covering, makes me wonder if they did a major repair on this thing. Also some other hard-to-explain damages.

In conclusion, what do you guys think, is it worth it for $220? (it came with a manual gas pump, spare plugs and propellers and wheels plus a "deluxe heatgun from hobbico??" rubberbands and a small roll of red monocote and lastly the chargers and the Quattro Jr (poor condition also))

I emailed her explaining and demanding a considerable refund for damages or my money back...
