Guest Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Sometimes, just sometimes, you see an item on ebay, and you think 'Why don't people research, before listing?'http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hornby-Terrier-Class-A1X-Locomotive-and-three-wagons-/201058528577?pt=UK_Trains_Railway_Models&hash=item2ed005ad41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted March 28, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 28, 2014 Not actually ebay madness but prob of interest here? Just trawling through the interweb I came across this pre-owned (but unstarted) K's French autorail. There must be a customer for it somewhere out there? Olddudders maybe? https://www.frtrains.com/shop/fr/category/Autorails_HO/object/KEYSER_SNCF_KIT_AUTORAIL_X_5500_A_MONTER_NBO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiffy2 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Nice spelling too.... "So Come on....do the Locamotion!" And including the tempting description: “All Very good condition. just been standing on my model.” Must be a lot lighter than me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thane of Fife Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 There is a bog-standard SEFinecast A4 kit going for £149.95 BIN, where SEF sell them for £99.50. Do people never check what an item costs in life before buying/bidding? With so many R-T-R A4's available, a SEF A4 recently sold on Ebay for less than £50. A regular high pricer from the Lake District has relisted a beaten-up BEC D11 body and tender (no chassis)for £140. This was previously listed for over 2 years at £135. Do you think he'll sell it this time, with Bachmann's lovely D11 models available? Thane of fife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thane of Fife Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 (edited) The perennial high pricer has moved into Kirk coaches. He has listed a ten coach collection. Seven random coaches and a triplet restaurant for £795. There are two sleeping cars, a buffet car and a full brake. If one forms a rake from the collection then I suppose that passenger would be served meals at their bunks, and who ever heard of a restaurant set and a buffet car in the same rake. He advertises that handrails etc have been added, but doesn't say that only applies to some coaches. He also has a 4-quad artic set for £197.50, with a dodgy bogie. I hate to think what he'd charge for a set with a good bogie, correct couplings, separate handrails, and decent underframes. Perhaps it would be £795.

Thane of Fife There really are so many gullible buyers out there that I cease to amaze at the prices they are prepared to pay for some items. Whlist I agree that high pricers are very irritating, at least they are up front and discourage the majority of right thinking potential buyers. It is the items which begin at reasonable prices and then are bid up to ridiculous amounts - often by novice users of eBay - that encourage the unwary. Don't people try looking for second hand items at exhibitions or model shops anymore? Do people no longer work to a budget? I find that genuine bargains on eBay, particularly in n gauge, are increasingly difficult to secure. If people are tempted to bid 'caveat emptor' is worth keeping at the forefront of one's mind.
