EBay madness

[RFS]

Wow! Those postal costs are outreageous! Someone ought to complain about that....

[298]

No need to complain, just don't buy it...!!

 

I'm not that familiar with eBay anymore, and am wondering if the "no sale, no fee" listings have anything to do with someone taking chances like this...?

Laughter time:-

For the love of Charlie Harper, I've seen it all now! Couldn't face the rest of the links, saving for later. That guy's some dreamer, hey

[deltic56]

He does seem to obatian some funny Tri-ang items. Makes you wonder??. The CP railcar/boxcar £24.90 perhaps but that is pushing it. Still each to their own.

............. That guy's some dreamer, hey

 

Oh, I don't know. He seems to have made a steady living out of 'mint' collectables. After all that's all they are........! The 'collectors' market seems as healthy as ever.....each to their own, as they say!

[RFS]

But then this item is probably good value: a mint, O gauge Schools for £975?

 

Schools Loco

 

Perhaps it's not so rare then! But still £37.50 for shipping!

It may just be me but has that "rare" Switcher been featured here before ?

I had one of these in the early 70s. Maybe I should have held onto it

I'm not sure if it's the same thing, but looking on the Ace Trains web site a new RTR Schools is £495 including VAT.

Possibly an earlier batch with a different running number (well I can't think of any other distinction ). Or maybe he's just trying very hard having bought it in at too high a price?

[Guest baldrick25]

Think RAILS might be exagerating here though:-

Ebay-Rails

Text (below the custom section below the Ebay usual bit)

Bachmann 'OO' GAUGE

 

RAKE OF 4 37-675A 14 TON TANK WAGON 'MOBIL'

Ah yes, my mistake. Hadn't realized ACE trains RTR model locos are about the same price as DJH kits.....

As a result of some research after reading Jim S-W's post:

Thanks for the list Phil

 

The citreon dx could be handy but they are commanding mega £££s on the bay!

 

Cheers

"Reasonable Condition" :lol: :lol:

 

The sort of thing I would pick up at a car boot sale for 50p, strip the paint of it and respray. (Did I just hear a 'collector' having a seizure in the background?)

Honestly, either we are missing a trick here somewhere and these things are truely worth this value for some unknown reason, or is it that these lunatic dealers think that people will pay these sorry amounts of money for junk toys, but more than likely there are some people who will pay it.

[Enterprisingwestern]

Maybe not madness, but it pays not to rely on the box?

The lady seller would like an i.d on the coach now I've pointed out it's of GW origin, so if someone could be so kind, I'll pass it on to her

[Trainshed Terry]

Quite, but the name of the tour is pretty apt

[Ragtag]

2 tickets, bid now at £230. Reserve not met

['CHARD]

No, it's not madness by any means, but it is bizarre to say the least. Did they actually think they'd finished the mating of body to chassis?

looks like an A1 Models kit to me, would be better on a Lima 20 chassis ......

Easy innit - you get 'go-faster' stripes and save about 180 quid, no competition. (I really ought to check back and see what he paid for some of this stuff as I know where some of it comes from, no wonder the prices there are so high )
