I can understand these perhaps being a collectors item,

by virtue of the name on the packs, but I'm struggling

to find the specific link to N and OO gauge???

Are they 'Rare'??

Not so much fishy as blatant profiteering. 

 

Starting bid was £99, so yes - a bit of pushing it with the start price, but if others wish to bid up - so be it.

 

It's worth whatever someone will pay for it.

Some people clearly have far too much disposable income!

I have to laugh at people who moan about how skint they are, then boast what they spent on a shirt.

I recently had someone tell me that I must be loaded because I bought another motorbike restoration project, until I told him it cost less than half what he claimed to have "blown through" whilst on holiday for two weeks last year.

I wouldn't do it, but if someone wants to splurge £200 on a model railway coach that may or may not be only valued at £40, then it's their choice.

Just think how much model railway equipment is tied up by dealers and traded back and forth by dealers and wannabe dealers? It almost feels like a little victory to break the chain and 'rescue' something, to bring it back into the model-making light!?

 

There are Ebay dealers who would outbid Picasso for a bit of blank canvas!

Cheap at the minute, if past efforts are to go by it will finish nearer 4 figures.

 

Mike.

 

It will be interesting to see what they're "worth" in ten years time.

"Buyer did not wish to pay for it" 

There seems to be a lot of jokers who bid ridiculous amounts then back out. 

 

So why not offer it to the second top bidder?

Ah, but they are skint because of what they spent on the shirt...and what they spent on the takeaways, ciggies, computer games etc etc....

Ah, you know them then? 

The blokes who paid £150 for a shirt on Saturday afternoon, went clubbing in it Saturday night, got rat @rsed, threw up on it, got in a fight, got blood on it, then got it ripped and muddy being taken down by the police....

By Monday they were skint and bugging me for cigarettes.
