Hmmm, I see a CSX SD40-2 in the blue/gray/yellow nose scheme, nothing is invisible to me. The shocking thing to me, at least, is the price. :o

He has plenty more at similar prices!!!:wacko:

Some folk have no sense of proportion!

Here is my bit of eBay madness for the week

 

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Arnold-Rapido-N-Gauge-Railcars-X-3-GWR-repaint-/383620578446?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49293

 

they are not a bad repaint job in all fairness, something different to say the least! 
 

 I bought them to use the chassis’ and motor under a 009 model but thought I’d try my luck on eBay instead!

i was watching that too when it was £25 as nice as it is I couldn’t believe how much it went for in the end 

 

time to fire up the 3D printer I think!

I’m sorry how much?!?!?

Started with a perfectly reasonable kickoff price. All I can say is that some people evidently have far too much disposable income. Or have b. all else going on in their lives, in which case, I offer my sincere condolences. :D

I think the seller is messing everyone around!

 

 

Maybe he's getting fed up of being messed around by bidders?

Answers on a postcard to our usual address...

 

Maybe it's a combination of both and we have reached a state of impasse?

Don’t buy this

 

First time I’ve seen this on eBay - item for sale that’s already been sold so don’t buy it - says the seller.

 

Is this to avoid some eBay de-listing fee?

 

Darius

 

More than one item with "sold" on it...

 

Now I know that estate agents put "Sold" or "let" up on their "for sale" or "to let" signs...

 

But in their case it is an advertisement of the fact that they are selling or leasing properties, and so good at their job!

 

Now it could be as simple as the seller not knowing how to remove a listing?

 

Probably not sold via eBay, as I don't think that you can edit a sold listing, and I think that sold listings are shut down automatically?

 

Just weird... :scratchhead:

 

There is no delisting fee as far as I know...but fees are charged on sold items...when sold via eBay...

You can cancel a listing on the grounds of 'item no longer available' (among others), with no fees.  I've had to do it on occasion with duplicate listings (it's not difficult to relist something twice by accident if you have a lot of items for sale) and twice when Mrs mole changed her mind about selling stuff.

Am I missing something here or are we talking 2 different units? - first one I see as an Arriva XC 3-car unit and the second one as a Central Trains 2-car unit.
