Therefore I think he has set the reserve very high and realises there is so little interest that he may as well start the new auction at the reserve price (or very close to it). possibly, still didnt sell though. unfortunately its one if those very niche models outside of Japan. Very few will want it, proportionate to other things. S/h prices tend to be much lower. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrWolf Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I thought much the same. I have on occasion been asked to clear out a garage full of motorcycle / car stuff by someone who simply wants rid of it, but because of the family connections, doesn't just want to call in the scrap man. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Il Grifone Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 (edited) Not really madness, as I think it's the seller self -preserving in today's litigious culture, but: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Trix-TTR-OO-Gauge-41900-Weltrol-WM-45t-Wagon-Black/333735933266?hash=item4db4363552:g:~IoAAOSwADZfcSEA The item is nothing spectacular (and overpriced IMHO), but the caution at the bottom re "Not suitable for children under 14 years old" struck me as overkill; the item was supposed to be a children's toy in its day! This also applies to the irrelevant Dublo tank wagons, which slipped in somehow. Edited November 5, 2020 by Il Grifone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No curry houses are all still standing but there is some evidence of red paper from the explosives that normally litter the town on the 5th. Lock down doesn’t seem to have happened much here, if anything the traffic is much busier than normal this morning. As long as the Brewery is still brewing and there is a supply I am not worried. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly they came out about ten years after America had forgotten how to make stylish cars. The price is definitely hopeful / speculative / imaginative / ridiculous. More chance selling a rusted out heap, because then someone can seperate the greasy bits from the ugly bits and stick the running gear in a hotrod.

The magazine reviews weren't great. I think it was a big nail in the coffin of British outline HO. Lima also did the 4F in O gauge and N gauge, the chassis on both replicating their OO/HO chassis with the floating centre drivers, though the N gauge one was tender drive. Terrible things, whatever the gauge/scale! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
