False advertising to me. Being pedantic here, the % off is an eBay thing, not the seller. eBay class the original listing price as RRP The item is still a lot of shte though. Doesn't even have the simple decal on in one piece. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let alone justify spending the price of a locomotive for a coach. I know that despite being quite obsessive about my model railway, I can think of a lot of other things I would rather spend that kind of money on. You'll find that these items that are listed at ridiculous prices never sell and eventually get reduced to more reasonable levels. However there is always one idiot with more money than sense. I used* to know someone that used to list stuff on eBay with L@@K, RARE, Only one on eBay etc etc and have ridiculous BIN prices (some where only fit for the bin!) He ended up leaving eBay because 'it is rubbish and nothing sells' No sht Sherlock. The same guy used to have stalls at all the local area shows and swapmeets, with the same overpriced junk year in and out. *I say used to know him as I had to cut him out my life, his behaviour became more and more erratic, was a crazy conspiracy theorist and last I heard he'd been given a restraining order for stalking a young woman!

Ruffnut Thorston Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 How can this be classed as 4 out of 5, with 5 being the best, for condition? One side has been partly melted in the centre! Clearly seen in the photos. As the motor in these is at one end, it wasn't an overheating motor... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OO-Gauge-Hornby-BR-Electric-Blue-Class-37-D6830-Shell/114250006244?

MrWolf Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I think that one should be classed as spares / bashing materials only and be about a third of the price. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Half-full Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 1 hour ago, MrWolf said: I hear that a lot and my usual response is: Ever lived and worked in America? Do you know any Americans? I have, they're generally good people and very friendly. The problem is that the UK press love bashing them, probably because we have had to go cap in hand to them a few times to help us finish wars that we started. There's still that lingering envy that Americans had a better life than us fifty odd years ago and the fear that grandad might just be a Liberator waist gunner from Nebraska. Of course, the alternative could have been a Panzer commander from Carlsbad. I do find it interesting that if we were to stereotype, bitch about and generally hate any other country quite like we do America, we would be immediately branded as racist. I lived and worked in the US in the late 90's for 4 years, I've never met a more hard working, respectful group of people anywhere since, except for Canada. Yes it the US has its problems, as does everywhere. I'd go back and live there in a heartbeat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got talking motorcycles, invite to dinner and meet the family, then out for a spin on a '56 Harley. USAF wouldn't let me pay for food either.

Maybe he wrote "Experimental livery" when he actually meant: "EXCREMENTAL livery" ? Ah, who cares, it's awful. 1 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
