MrWolf Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 She's good at rude gestures. Claims to be "A bit broken". Other examples are hand gestures which I thought might be a little over the top / offensive even though you keep saying L@@K! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never contradict any claim that she has "nothing to wear". 4. Never buy overpriced cr@p off eBay! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the thickness of the Tender sides, Boiler and Roof top fittings etc. That looks heavier than the old BEC white metal jobs from the 60's. Obviously RARE. Go on, buy it and shove an old Triang 4-4-0 chassis under it... There's a twisted side to everyone!

Unfortunately that doesn't work on Miss Riding Hood. On the upside, she has given all my old motorcycles names and I am not allowed to sell them. The bike she is sitting on in the photo is called Katy after it's registration number, if I sell that, I will be in trouble. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Enterprisingwestern Posted June 7, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 7, 2020 For some reason I can't post eBay links anymore, but a Bachmann 4car underground set, LTM-35-990 was started at £490, which I thought was ridiculous, but it's gone for north of £700. There's also a 5 car set elsewhere on b.i.n for £929! The world's gone crazy. Mike. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DK123GWR Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 (edited) I have two questions about ebay madness. 1) Is this ebay madness? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-R4110A-BR-Mk1-Composite-Coach-Blue-Grey-Livery-OO-Gauge-Model-Railway-NEW/254576537754?epid=596160400&hash=item3b45f1b09a:g:eecAAOSw175b8uIJ 2) Does the postage fee include keeping the van? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bachmann-39-675-675DC-BR-Intercity-Mk2F-TOURIST-OPEN-COACH-E5911-BODY-ONLY/293602360825?hash=item445c107df9:g:v5cAAOSwxbJe2L7F Edit: According to the seller, this is what Royal Mail now charge for signed small parcels. To quote them: 'Have you ever checked postal costs in the last 20 years?' For the record, I have. It's £4.70! Edit: Even they now admit it's a little steep. Carry on!
