Il Grifone Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) Not eBay (or is it?), but I've just found this site. https://www.dentalchiangmaiprice.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=16493 Everything allegedly reduced to around €30, but it looks like a scam to me. The insertion in the above link is one of Cartmel's place holders. The text is (dodgy) Italian, but the 'seller' seems to be in China....

That's true, but there's no need to really. It's a load of rusty old Tri-ang track and worth at most a fiver (IMHO).

The inserion in the above link is one of Cartmel's place holders. The text is (dodgy) Italian, but the 'seller' seems to be in China.... Went to the Home page and had Google translate. Can't find any hard evidence about what sort of company it is, definitely in China tho' . If it is/were a 'real ' flash sale, 2 locos I added to the shopping cart came to £56.06 for the same items in UK just under £260. Hmmm just a little bit too good to be true.
