No way is that a Universal Studio screen used prop. Maybe some kids fan film, but that looks to me like a plastic model by Revel, not self skinning foam model made by the studio.

The seller ended this listing early because of an error in the listing.

I wonder why that happened? :lol:

It was the Monogram Raider in the picture.

The seller who is an Ebay drop off store was told it was screen used and posted the information only to be jumped by a few studio scale guys who pointed out what they had.

Yes I knew that it wasn't a true screen used ship, my comments were trying
to be a bit sarcastic. Those darn screen used models are in mostly sad shape at best, except a few that have been refurbished.

Thought so.

I feel sorry for the seller who is in the middle of this and was lied to about the model.

I also think that unlike many who have been in the same place this one did the right thing by dropping the auction, most I've delt with tell those that email them to kiss off.

I know a few folks who have paid premium prices for Trek props that they could have gotten at Rodcom for under $100...like the seller did!
