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.

Might make an offer of £5 n see what happens

You realise that if he says yes, you'll be stuck with it?

If he accepts a £5 offer it'll be worth it. Besides at less that £2 a wagon (not including postage) it's not bad for some basic wagons.

Plus the smile it'll put on my face will be worth it regardless.

OK I'll give it a go.   A few weeks ago I nearly bought this three pack already from Hornby website at club discount, till I went to checkout and the club discount had disappeared plus they wanted a fiver for postage, which pushed the price to well over £20.    I scrolled down and offered £5.50 on another of his identical listings.    £13.50 including postage would be a fair price for a three pack of basic wagons.

We should all pick a listing and put in a low price. See if we get a response :D

Childish I know but they're having a laugh asking £150 for railroad so it's only fair we have a laugh in return

R6768 is a Brake van which is misleading information, as are a number of other wrongly numbered sets.
At £150 for a used item costing £21.99 new, could also be regarded as misleading as to it's value.
A click on the Report button may be worth a moment.

You know I never bothered to check the R number on that listing. That's facinating

Right well it took a while as there were so many listings but reports have been sent off. This guys listing certainly fits in with eBay Madness.

Well, congradulations Mr Jammyt43106, your application to the blocked sellers list has been submitted and is now pending, have a great day :lol:
