Though it does make me think of the days when manufacturers would take a tank engine and give it all of the big four liveries, BR black and lined green! Think of the possibilities, take an old black Hornby 9f, paint the smokebox silver = Baltimore & Ohio Decapod. Paint the wheels red instead, Deutsch Reichsbahn Kriegslok. Ok, getting silly. But I hear a lot of "Rule 1" round here. I confess to hacking a Triang Davy Crockett coach body into something vaguely light railway colonial style! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium RichardT Posted May 12, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 12, 2020 After watching these three auctions to their close, I emailed SE Finecast and ordered a new LNER Sentinel railcard kit plus Tenshodo bogie for £128.50 inc postage... Went for £155 Went for £230 Went for £254!!! Should I just bang my SE Finecast kit straight into eBay when it arrives? (Except - I actually want a Sentinel railcard for the *layout*, not my bank account.) 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the seller did really well on many of his items - the same bloke had both those Raven Pacifics that were discussed at length on various social media for sale at the same time. Good luck to him, I say - and I do hope that his listings were on a 'fixed fee' eBay offer... Mark 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I am becoming increasingly concerned that if I see another eBay listing with the word LOOK! , (LOOK) or worse still L@@K! in the title, I am liable to have a total wig out. It's 1:15am, I am idly scrolling through eBay and the sellers are instructing me to LOOK!? WHAT, in the name of SATAN'S BACKSIDE do they THINK I am doing?? Or am I just being unduly sensitive? Good old PTSD has been giving me a kicking tonight to be honest. 4 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

corax67 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Can I say from a sellers perspective how shocked I am at what’s going on at the moment Having been tasked with the disposal of a large amount of stock bequeathed to our charity which we would normally have sold on the secondhand stall at our annual exhibition (almost certainly cancelled for this year) I tentatively placed 6 items on yesterday evening. Within 8 minutes of one going live I was receiving offers and requests to sell off site. As an example this one has me scratching my head since I figured they were £20 when new so opening up at £9.99 was about right but it’s been on one day into the seven and it’s already rocketed: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bachmann-44-221-Scenecraft-Low-Relief-underground-station-OO-Gauge/254599473641?hash=item3b474fa9e9:g:UOAAAOSw-5pewT-P I know they are discontinued but still fairly niche - truly bemused.

I generally ignore unsolicited offers, because there are so many wannabe dealers out there and general chisellers. Last year I sold some early 1950s Vauxhall parts for a mate. Starting bid £95. Within minutes a dealer offers £75, then £85 as there were no bids in the first two days. When the clock ran out, they were at £245.00 plus £21.00 carriage.

Certainly the odd item is a surprise.......a few of years a go I had an original Sony TC microphone and the very first made original steering wheel from a certain iconic fast car (don’t ask), we were moving so needed to either throw them out or the dreaded eBay........I won’t say exactly how much they made but together it was a shade under £10K and I was going to throw them into the skip!

MrWolf Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 It often surprises me just how much some people spend on their hobbies. Not just the ridiculous price that some model railway items command on eBay (just seen an old Hornby half cab pannier make £60) when people are moaning that "There's no money about". Someone I used to know got all his designer bicycle parts sent to work so Mrs didn't find out and I remember him telling me that he had spent £800 on a pair of wheels. I wouldn't / couldn't do that! Also a lot of my rusty bicycles tend to be free. I wish I could say the same for the motorcycles! 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
