Mock-up ride models on Craigslist

I just came across a few reasonably priced mock-up display models that were used for introducing The Delirium and Face-Off attractions. These appear to be the hand assembled models used for publicity once the new ride addition was revealed and placed in the the front gate IR display area. I've collected items of a similar nature for years and I've never seen any of the mock-up ride models for sale. Check them out!

The person selling those has had them listed at least since before Christmas (periodically relisting). There also was a large metal and wood flat sign-like representation of Son of Beast which either sold, or they gave up relisting.

The only problems with the models for me are they're quite large (Delirium is three feet tall!) and I found out about them at a bad time financially to be buying something frivolous. Otherwise, I'd probably already own them! :)

I'm a little amazed they haven't been purchased yet, the pricing is very reasonable for what they are.

How are you able to see a user's past sales? I'm not very familiar with Craigslist and how it all works.

Edit - No idea on the source, but here's a shot of the Face/Off model when it was at the park.

I've just been watching these things on Craigslist the past couple of months. They were all relisted on the same day, which is how I realized they were all the same seller (Delirium and Face/Off clearly were but I didn't realize the Son of Beast sign thing was until that time)

There was a thread, let me see if I can find it... Some was in the Christmas gifts thread (http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php/topic/30528-kings-island-gift-ideas/) but I think the SoB thing was in another.

Edit: yep, it was here, fortunately someone added a pic cuz the listing on CL is dead: http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php/topic/28609-son-of-beast-plaque/
