Far too many of his items are way over priced & have been on ebay for years. He would make a killing if he sold things are right prices 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of his stuff is reasonably priced. I have bought several wagons and coaches etc. from him over the years. I think his pricing reflects the (ridiculous) price he paid for the item and he doggedly sticks to his price despite the item never selling.

RMweb Premium Blandford1969 Posted July 31, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 31, 2021 We should have a thread for Facebook marketplace madness. Someone has an S15 chassis, not clear if it is working or not at £75 when you can get a whole engine on Ebay for £10 more, lol. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
