Gentlemen;
You can buy low and sell high all you want, but it won't be a 60th Anniversary Fox .35 Stunt. I wasn't sure so I called Fox and talked to Sharon. There ain't no such animal. As for the 50th Anniversary Foxes when they use up all the cases for this motor they will start on a 60th Anniversary Fox. Sharon said maybe later this summer. This is straight from the horses mouth.

EDIT --- I went to ebay and checked on said engine. The paperwork does say 60th Anniversary Fox 35 Stunt. I went back to the phone and called Fox again. Again same answer, no 60th Anniversary Engines have been sold to her knowledge. She is going to check on this for me in case it was a special order. As it stands right now that engine never left the factory. I will let you know as soon as I find out more info from Fox.
I just read the feed back on this guy and it's 100% positive...hmmmEbay revised their feedback rating system. Now it only shows negative feedback for the past year, not for the lifetime of being a member as it was before..
Maybe it's me, but isn't it time to cut the seller a break here? It sure looks like the engine could have come from Fox the way he has it listed. And there's nothing wrong with not matching the lowest price available, or blocking potential problematic bidders. It doesn't seem like there's any reason to bad mouth the seller here anymore. Maybe this thread should be deleted?

Peter. Controllineengineman here. Maybe if you looked more closely at the photo I posted in the listing, you'd see that the instructions sheet does read in big bold letters "60TH ANNIVERSARY MODEL 35 STUNT". So there is no false advertsing here, this is the way it comes direct from Fox Mfg. Yes, Fox still chooses to leave the "50th Anniversary" casting on the case, but it is sold as a 60th Anniversary model. Not sure Tower sells 'em this way, for all we know they are selling older models with the red, white & blue boxes, not the special-edition black & gold box. If the motor's for flying, then by all means go to Tower and save a couple bucks. But if it's for the collection, this motor has been advertised for what it is, customer satisfaction guaranteed. You seem like someone who'd "nitpik" rather than be a serious bidder. Please try to spend more of your free time involved with more constructive tasks, rather than trying to "save the eBay community". eBay is still a fun website to trade in, despite all the new rules and ever-rising fee schedules, because most of the members are good-hearted folks. That's what creates a positive experience for everyone. Ho ho ho...D'oh!!!
