leopardml2341 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) Just wondering how a 'Code 3' model can possibly be VN MIB? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-MODEL-No-R782-ex-CR-0-4-0ST-No-67-SOUTHERN-LOCO-VN-MIB-CODE-3/302689657403?epid=1526515717&hash=item4679b5a23b:g:KU4AAMXQlUNRJTuo Surely it's either/or but not both?

Il Grifone Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) I haven't bothered with a couple of Cartmel's offerings of late. One gets fed up of repeating oneself.... As an example of grading I chose this fairly common item https://www.toymart.com/Hornby-Dublo-EDL7-Tank-Loco/14913 (Lots of others are available on the site.) Cartmel's VN-MIB becomes grade A, but Code 3 (which basically translates as 'repainted') is usually valued (at best) about the same as 'good' (grade C) and depends on how well it's been done. As regards Hornby R.782, there's a "'brand new" one here https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-R782-BR-0-4-0ST-Class-0F-Smokey-Joe/152815868802?hash=item2394891b82:g:gl8AAOSwGwlaJoVM Edited June 26, 2019 by Il Grifone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Bucoops Posted June 26, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 26, 2019 The last few of these that I watched went for well over £120 - perhaps the Oxford model is having an effect. I wouldn't mind a fleet of these! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Connoisseur-Models-4mm-Scale-LNER-N7-3-Steam-Locomotive-unmade-kit-/143301036403 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted July 4, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 4, 2019 Gosturd - a well known seller within these hallowed halls who has a collection of classic Studebaker cars to finance which he does by selling dubious old tat at extraordinary high prices, often describing RTR stuff as kit built etc in an effort to justify the extortionate price tag. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seller is a well known E Bay purveyor of tat & general rubbish at exorbitant prices. Stuff you or I might give away or throw in the bin. Being old, dirty & preferably broken makes it rare & collectable. According to this seller that is. There are one or two others as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah i see. as you say we would chuck them in the bin or rob them for spares maybe. Does he ever actually sell anything then? Bizarre though how the sellers think they can ask for silly money for a junk. Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
