He is a deluded man if you ask me. 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 

I've often looked through eBay only to come across (and laugh at) a Gostit listing. 

 

Does the damage come extra with this one?

How about this job lot ?

 

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154557309171

 

Difficult to tell what's in there ... because he's "only allowed 12 pictures" ... and it's only two and a half grand opening bid

 

Nobody's bid yet - is that because he won't ship, collection only - but he's got a postage charge of £3.20 ?

 

Well, there's a fair bit of Dublo 3-rail, though a lot seems in average condition. He probably thinks "collectors" will value it highly.

Then there seems to be an unhealthy interest in A4s...

That looks like it's been somewhere damp and spider infested for a long time. I think that £50 is somewhat optimistic to say the least.

Is it me, or is one of the walls not quite level?

This is spares or repair, but there is something hauntingly beautiful as it is now. Salvador Dali would be chuffed!

I love that under "Related Items", there is an Anders Zorn painting.  How that is related to a melted Airfix Prairie tank I'm not sure, but it's an "interesting" painting, ahem....

This is a bit unusual.  Not sure why anyone would want to do this but it is nicely done.  

 

Also not sure that I would want to pay 1p short of £80 for it, but you never know what people will pay/buy on eBay.

 

Cheers

I rather like it...

Me too but I succumbed, and my offer was accepted. I'll post some photos after it arrives.

Looks like an attempt to make a CIE A Class diesel out of a Lima 33 - except that it is numbered as an “E” Class.

There is nothing “Spectrum” about this Bachmann model.

 

it’s a modified OO “Branch-line” class 03 or 04 BR shunter.
