Ruffnut Thorston Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Intrigued by this lot at £900 BIN or best offer: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Huge-job-lot-trains-coaches-locomotives-accessories-etc-/261232146144?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item3cd2a636e0 Seems an odd selection with a right mixture of items (including gauges!) Not sure it's worth anywhere near £900 though... As he says..."thanks 4 looking". Do they spell differently down in Cornwall?

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted June 17, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 17, 2013 Collect from Cornwall... That's a fat lot of good for most of the UK....... Cheers, Mick Quite so. As I pointed out in that yellow-fest offer that you (sensibly, no doubt!) weren't able to honour, even Thanet is a long way from most places except the Medway Towns - and it's an hour from there! Things have to be a super bargain for people to drive many miles to collect, and sellers in the corners of the nation need to think that through.
