I was bidding on a 5540 Model Team formula car, and only one other bidder

True, it has no box, and I have to pay shipping from Paris, but I've wanted
one for a while and seen some rather obscene prices on this set, so I'm
VERY happy with my "find" ojn Ebay ;-)

I had a similar FOTM, I got a 733 Universal on eBay for $30, that went
for over $80 just a few days earlier.  Very strange.  This set has 8 blue
outside corner slopes in it, as well as 8 inside corners and a variety
of other useful bricks, slopes, windows, etc.  It even had box and
instructions.
