RMweb Premium petethemole Posted July 5, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 5, 2020 I think three bidders saw the price to get 11 all different in one lot, post free, outweighed the time and effort it would take to search for and buy 11 separate wagons, possibly with £3 P&P on each. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 I was saying Mike isn't daft, did his homework and bought one at the right price. Whereas there appears to be plenty of mad people on ebay. Then again, an old friend from Huddersfield claims that his first words were: "How much?!!!" 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedGemAlchemist Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 The one that always makes me laugh is Trackmaster Thomas bodies whacked onto Hornby chassis. See those on a few sites and they always just look daft. I know OO locos aren't perfectly proportionate by their very nature, but seriously. Look at this. I see these all the time when looking around on eBay and they always crack me up. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see why I talk so much about this stuff on my Wild Kitbash thread? Because to me that's the point. For every awesome bit of bashing out there, there's a load of bits that are as funny as they are bad. That's the entire reason I made the thread. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted July 7, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 7, 2020 Just had an eBay advert pop up while using Yahoo. £149.99 for a 1934 Underground map (no 2). Is that madness or is that what they go for these days? If so, it's party time as I have several from that era collected by late father. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough I've just sent my collection from 1933-1965 off to auction, including all 4 variants of 1993 map and both 1934 ones. No 1934 No.2's seem to have been sold on ebay for a while. Last one sold by Transport Auctions of London was Oct 2017 for £130 - no idea how condition compares with the one you've seen. This 1933 No.1 went for £570 on ebay recently and it's only in fair condition. Mint would be nearer £1k though 1934 variants don't command such a high price they can go to £200 in good condition: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rare-Original-First-Edition-1933-Beck-London-Underground-Pocket-Map-/124203352616?hash=item1ceb18c228%3Ag%3AQ7gAAOSwbstezTqK&nma=true&si=4M6Cn%2B4leV%2FubJaJPvDISNH3JBY%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Edited July 7, 2020 by Metr0Land 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
