RMweb Gold RFS Posted December 11, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 11, 2010 If you repeat the search with "completed listings" then a lot of these have been sold for between £40-60. And some fool has actually bought one for £200! Will they keep till next Xmas if they don't sell this time round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted December 11, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 11, 2010 Meanwhile - how would you define "Worldwide" when it comes to sending your sold item?

bertiedog Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 http://cgi.ebay.co.u...e=STRK:MEWAX:IT Watched the above kit finish earlier today and am just shocked at the final amount Have bought three myself in recent times and never paid more than £15 including postage George would be astounded at that price I have got 2 of these.....must get them on Ebay, as you say George would have been staggered at the price, but they are rare now in un-built form, quite a nice kit anyway. Ebay has surprises, but often these prices have a stack of bidding, there is interest, and if people want an item they will pay for it. The annoying ones are the high start prices, and plain ludicrous reserves some sellers start with, quite out of step with comparable items. The other nuisance are private listings where false bidding is obviously being used to force prices up, quite illegal but done widely.especially on HK listings etc , mainly for new electrical items.

Stephen. I have two to build and one bought built which was beautifully done, part of the many kits for next year I hear what you say about the high start prices as a seller has listed an L1 chassis starting at £19.99 which I thought was high, and amazingly it is up to £26 with a couple of hours to go, more than I would be willing to pay by far Ebay do need to look at the private listing and review if it was a good idea as several railway and non railway items I have looked at seem to be going up suspiciously recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people get in to a bidding frenzy its not the vendors fault. Phil, My comments were not attacking the vendor, clearly a superb ebayer with over 2600 feedback in the last 12 months and not a single negative or neautral among them, merely I am just shocked as to how much the item got, especially as I have been watching over the past few years the same items coming up and going for much less, clearly two people wanted it and congratulations to groovychick on a good result I might add that my comment about suspicious bidding on my secondary post did not regard this lady David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Yes I've had some very nicely weathered grain wagons from this chap - I was tempted to have a dabble at this one early on but it's just amazing how some items just catch the wave and end up going for more than one might expect.

If you don't like that have a look at their take on the Bachmann A2. They had a whole page of them the other day all at £180 and all looking censored.
