This just goes to prove how deluded people are who put stuff up for sale on line. It looks awful crude and is in no way worth the asking price of £300 I wish Hattons would realise that they are deluding themselves sometimes https://www.hattons.co.uk/502015/kitbuilt_kb811_po_class_n2_0_6_2t_1884_in_lner_black_pre_owned_kit_built_intermittent_runner/stockdetail.aspx Mark Perhaps its the crudeness that makes it unique thus worth more.

RMweb Premium John M Upton Posted February 7, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 7, 2020 I remember the R219 NSE Class 47. It was one that had a sheet of different names and the last three digits of the bodyside numbers so you could choose your own (there was a Railfreight Triple Grey model at the same time with the same format) except there was no guide as to where the nameplates were supposed to go (hence why this example is noticeably wrong) the numerals were a different size to the printed 47 on the model and at least one if not two of the name/number options were wrong for that version of the livery.

This one is in West Coast. Rails have the two liveries in stock for £165 though so don't know why people think they can get away with selling these for more than they are new at the moment.

After all their 2nd hand prices are nearly always more than the new prices for the same or equivalent models. I still suspect it has been mishandled or dropped at some point so i now would not touch this based on the fact that i want to inspect it all over first. Also it would be useful if the people at Hattons could try to take a decent pic and make sure that the model is presented well. The people who deal with these models are not model railway people and have no real idea. by the way i offered them £10 plus the postage, I know i was trying/pushing my luck!!!

And now for a philosophical interlude. We think it is ridiculous because our core value is getting value for money. If you were filthy rich from a lucrative but busy job (eBay seller for example, but I digress) you might value your time more highly than money and not care what you pay In this scenario the buyer is happy, the seller is happy and as long as we discount this theory and carry on laughing at them, we are also happy. I'll get my coat. Just give me a couple of weeks to compare prices.... Edited February 11, 2020 by Hal Nail 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royaloak Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 I have knowingly and willingly paid over the odds for some things off Ebay (and auction) because it was something I REALLY REALLY wanted, not often though me being an orthodox tight arse and all that. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
