has anybody working with BIG LOTS selling OCCRE KIT VERY CHEAP

Big Lots wouldn't even sell good 'glue' for a model, more less a quality ship model itself!
 
on Facebook popup a site called big lots that was selling OCCRE kit at very low price. the trans 25 dollars paint 90cents ships 35 to 40 dollars. at first this can not be right. i ordered some .the site was from Australia but shipping out of china. the tracking # stated delivered to me though USPS . NO delivery i call usps without usps tracking # no way to fined it without tracking it could not move though the system . i email the company and about a USPS tracking# NO ANSWER BACK.so what i am saying be careful .SORRY Iwas not saying OCCRE being cheap,the price was cheap. work now occur Fram. sorry again got trying be helpful.
 
Facebook, the marketplace for thieves and scammers. Yeah, there are good people there, but there is also a lot of scammers. I stay away from Facebook.
Sorry for your bad luck.
 
They are scams. There a loads if them pretending to be selling Occre, Artesania Latina models very cheap. The companies are aware of them and have issued warnings. I have also reported them to the Action fraud team.
 
I thought something similar about kits being sold in KMart in the 70s. A big display of Pocher/Tyco kits in the store at $20 to $40. I really didn't know what to think about them. The best I was hoping for were simpler kits than Pocher normally makes in the same 1`/8 scale. I had already bought the first Alfa Romeo kit for $65, and built the Fiat which I think cost more. So I ended up able to contact the purchasing agent who handled the sale of the kits, and found they were really Pocher kits made for Tyco, which offloaded them to KMart to get rid of.

I was still unsure, so took my built Fiat kit to the store and talked the manager into giving me 3 of the kits in exchange for the built Fiat, to show the level of detail of these kits. I felt they'd have a rough time selling kits that expensive at KMart without an example of their quality. I also bought the Rolls Royce, giving me the Alfa racer, the Alfa with fenders, the Fiat and the Rolls.

By the time I got them home and realized they were fantastic, first-rate Pocher kits, I went back to the store to buy some for investment purposes, but they were all gone. Due no doubt to my completed Fiat, which was no longer there either.

Sometimes - you can get a good deal.
