From http://shop.lego.com/eBay/ : "Train model assembly is required."
So the box gets opened anyway (which to me seems a weird requirement, which
is hard to verify)
As for some 7 year old obtaining it, no matter how WE look at it, LEGO is at
heart still a toy, primarily meant for children for them to play with.
IMHO it would have been fine to simply mix up the first sets with the
rest... this auction indeed looks bad to me, unless they use the money they
raise with it for some charity project.
