RMweb Premium cessna152towser Posted October 12, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) I have to admire this seller's optimism. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-R6768-RAILROAD-OO-GAUGE-3-WAGON-PACK/224190512320?_trkparms=aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140131123730%26meid%3Ddb4708a0788a4050a295c15f77b05520%26pid%3D100167%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D184475960307%26itm%3D224190512320%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D5411%26algv%3DDefaultOrganic%26brand%3DHornby&_trksid=p5411.c100167.m2940 More than twenty identical listings for set of three Hornby railroad wagons at £150 start price plus £8 postage. Either very rare wagons which nobody else has in stock, or the listings, which were made yesterday, are all holding placements to take advantage of the weekend £1 maximium fees offer.

MrWolf Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) Difficult to know how to value that. You probably won't find another, but does that mean it's worth £2000+? What is needed to make it "worth" £2000+ is two wealthy railwayana obsessives who have got to possess that item no matter what. Otherwise it's worth preservation as a piece of history as from a monetary viewpoint it's then only worth two cigarettes and a balloon Edited October 12, 2020 by MrWolf Stupid autocorrect 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't possibly comment - other than to say that I have been able to rein some selling prices back within my 'prepared to pay' or 'worth' range over the years. And they've rightly pushed-back when I've tested them by pushing the boundaries, shall we say! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a Hornby B12, complete and in running order dolled up as a "scrapyard loco" a few years ago for a very reasonable price. Ok, it was one of the old tooling B12s, but it was also one of the China manufactured ones, so the mechanism was rather more refined than the older Margate versions. It just looks very heavily weathered so I occasionally let it out for a run now and then! Nowadays I'd expect a "scrapyard" B12 to be a Great British Locos static refugee at a similar price to what I paid for my working one... 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
