RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted February 4, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) Remember this... Not strictly Ebay madness, but Hatton's madness! Surely overpriced by a mile? http://www.ehattons.com/71193/Hornby_Dublo_2050Dublo_LN_Suburban_Electric_Train_Set_SR_EMU_S65326_S77511_Class_501_in_BR_Green_Includ/StockDetail.aspx They usually sell for at most around half that, but this appears to be a really excellent example. Saying that I would want to inspect it carefully first, as I understand that years (50 in this case) of storage can lead to corrosion on the side in contact with the box. (Not that I would part with that much money for one....) well Hatton's now have another for sale for an extra fiver and the first hasn't sold yet. So the for export marking makes it more valuable then...? http://www.ehattons.com/71899/Hornby_Dublo_2350Dublo_LN_01_Class_501_EMU_S65326_S77511_in_BR_Green_boxes_marked_for_export_Pre_owned_Lik/StockDetail.aspx Edited February 4, 2014 by brushman47544 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
