Not quite sure what to say about this one as it’s for a copyright not a model apart from make sure you are sat down before opening the link and looking at the price!

Totally weird - are you buying an actual thing or it’s copyright?   Reading the rest of the blurb you need scissors, glue and felt tip pens for colouring so it sounds like you are buying plain card plus some instructions - all for nearly three quarters of a million quid.

 

Or you could just buy a nice house.

 

The seller is aptly named ToshTosh.

 

A quick look at the seller’s other items for sale and their feedback indicates that they also sell somewhat dodgy jewellery.

But he's giving ten percent - £75,000 to Cancer Research.

 

So little or no tax to pay on the remaining £675,000 then....

Ok, so maybe he’s in training. but not yet a complete idiot

I notice it's not suitable for children under 36 months due to a chocking hazard ... how about those over 744 months .... I've just chocked looking at the prices :swoon:

Someone is DESPERATE to get their model posted on the rmweb 'Ebay Madness' thread! An attention seeker, perhaps?

It might just be an original Lickey Banksy?

It's interesting that it looks like they chose to take the photos on a stony beach - it all looks like Jetsam so maybe they just found it and are chancing it (well, they are definitely chancing it!).

 

Shame they don't have a best offer, could have some fun with it.

 

"Amaze yourself on what you else can achieve by buying a kit today." Then write it up for Model Railway Journal! :locomotive:

He's got some negative feedback: "Went nasty colour in 7days got no reply from seller waste of money,"

Who knew?  I have an 8T cattle wagon by wrenn, I now look at it as my retirement plan!

You wouldn’t happen to have one of these lying around for an even earlier retirement?

Must have had the best service ever completed after its repaint…

So, 300 beer vouchers for an RTR brake van of low quality that doesn't even have any numbers or lettering, and we only have Gostude's word for it that it is a factory sample and not just a normal Wrenn LMS brake van painted in factory engineering sample grey.  Pull the other one, it's got bells on...

But if someone had just painted it in engineering sample grey, you'd soon know because there might be splashes and splodges on the underframe..... oh, there are. :) :)

It's the rights that are for sale.

Just for fun I got in touch with the seller. Apparently the owner (who is called Alvin) “is in latter stages of approaching some business people to take them all to achieve their maximum finnancial (sic) return.” I was also told “if you would like to make an offer he will consider it and that you must clearly demonstrate you currently have the funds.” Presumably that is to make sure I’m not just someone taking the ****, like they are.

It looks like he has sold two of the bi-plane. He must have lots of copyrights to go around.

Well I have some A4 paper a HB pencil and I’ll throw in a 6” rule for free. You can buy the lot plus copyright of whatever you can be bothered to draw for a ONLY £200,000 

 

sorry I just can’t afford to go any lower but still a bargain in anyone’s view

This may set a new eBay record, I have seen many items offered at five times their real value, but never an item at five orders of magnitude more than its real value.

Maybe one of the aforementioned "business people" will make them a slightly lower offer of £7.26, on the condition they give it as a donation to the institution they've clearly escaped from with the coloured paper and scissors.
