How much?

 

Must dig out my 1000 or so slides.

If you've got 1000 or so slides of pre tops sulzer 2's at Llynclys quarry, then you will either be a rich man or flood the market and make them worthless!

This looks like an absolute bargain!

 

Does anybody else think this might be a scam?

With a "buy it now" of £21.51? I smell a rat (or two or three..)

Yes it's a little cheap and an exact copy of the previous auction so buyer beware......

There is another thread about this on RMweb, definitely a scam.

Well I must admit, I've been on eBay for about 15 years. and this is a first for me, a seller taking photos of a train out side in the rain, presumably! Maybe its just me, but you'd think he'd wipe the water off the box before taking the pictures!

 "the packaging also is in completely shop fresh new mint condition," or at least it might have been until it got wet.

In this I may be totally wrong.

In the second picture of the Loco in the box:-

1.The cutting of the plastic film looks very untidy.

2. The picture omits a view of the cab ends.

 

I know that R3262 is not normally associated with the Mazac pest problems. But I believe it was discounted at Hattons and people used the chassis as a replacement.

Could these be the converse a model chassis swap with a Mazac pest chassis.

Certainly right about the rough cut plastic inside the box, looks a bit 'iffy'

[Re6/6]

One would have to be mindful about purchasing from a 97% feedback trader.

 

He/they seem to be some sort of 'general' dealer not specific to our hobby.

I'm not sure you could honestly claim a brand-new Hornby Pacer was a "good runner". Mine was a nightmare in the early 90's until we wired the two cars together.

Agreed, back then my budget was limited, I soldered wires to the motor and a fishplate, then put a hole in the chassis body under the vestibule of both units to exit the Fishplate, then when ever connecting the unit together I joined the fishplates.

The improvement was unbelievable.

What do they hope to gain by this ? The buyer will end up refunded, they will end up banned.

What do they get.. someone's address, for what purpose ?

Paypal surely needs full ID before they get any initial payment, am I missing the benefit of the scam here ?

Looks as though they are now being taken down.

My Ebay account got hacked presumably clicking on a dodgy link many years ago, nothing to major, whoever hacked it was bombarding Ebay US sellers about quad bikes, jetski's trails bike's etc about postage to UK or accusing them of theft in my name.

 

If they could do that then why not hack your account and use it to buy items off themselves? In theory you bought it and paid for it if your Paypal account is linked to Ebay, you don't need your Paypal password.

 

By the time Ebay and Paypal catch on the accounts are closed and new one's set up,

[Bodmin Bob]

Not madness - unless you want a tree growing out of the loco.
