DavidB-AU Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I picked up a Farish 47 on Ebay Australia for a "buy it now" price of only AUD$60 (about £36). It was under "other toys" rather than "model trains" and listed as part of a deceased estate with no box. At that price it was hard to pass up, even if it was an old Poole model. It arrived in today's mail. When I took the body off... Cheers David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hayfield Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 I am not up to the price of N gauge stock, but I guess it was good value. I brought 2 Peco 0-16.5 loco kits and a coach kit from a different section, I sold 1 (duplicated) loco which covered the cost of all 3 items. Yes it is worth scearching the whole site sometimes with a specific scearch. Trouble is that most of us do not have the time to do this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Emily Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 In the areas of some of my other hobbies, I learnt long ago to be creative in search strings on Ebay - some of the best bargains are found with poor/too brief descriptions listed in the wrong sections by people who don't exactly know what it is that they are selling. Having a think about "how would some-one who isn't familiar with X list X?" and then searching accordingly can reveal some interesting stuff hidden away on Ebay.

Guest big bob Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 looks like that 108 is a modelzone exclusive,just look at how much is asked for the rtc stock,ive seen the class 24 "experiment" going for well over 160gbp,you can buy a fitted sound version with lights and repaint it for less than that! regards,bob Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
